Great experience using the Cycling Handyman on a project. He was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable and adaptable. He was also great to have around as he was kind to the kids and tidied up brilliantly. 100 percent recommend.

Doug did an amazing job on our downstairs loo. He knocked through 2 small rooms, did the plumbing, electrics and decorating. He takes pride in his work and ensures everything is clean and tidy. He is also a lovely guy and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

Absolutely delighted with the two jobs Doug has done for us. He removed all the flaking paint from our greenhouse and repainted it and also stripped the old paint, fixed the rust problems and repainted our gate. Both look fantastic and much better than they ever have! Doug was a pleasure to have around, would highly recommend!

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

bike

How do you get here on a bike?

I use a high-capacity electric bike and trailer. It’s faster than a van in Edinburgh traffic and allows me to reach remote or difficult-access properties easily.

cleanup

What about the mess?

My work can be dusty and noisy (especially drilling and sanding). While I handle the cleanup, please ensure the work area is clear of personal items before I start.

heavy load

Can you bring the kitchen tiles?

I am limited to carrying tools and small tubs of plaster/adhesive. All major materials must be delivered to your site prior to the job starting.
