The List on the Fridge
Ten small jobs nobody will come out for. Book a half day, we work down the list in the order you put it in, and you tell us when to stop. Nothing is too small and nothing gets quoted twice.
What we do
Small Jobs, Done Properly
One trade, one van, and a half day booked to your list rather than to a made up call out charge.
Fixing and fitting
Doors that stick, handles gone, shelves, blinds, curtain poles, flat pack, TV brackets and the cupboard that has not shut properly since 2019.
Small plumbing and tiling
Dripping taps, new washers, silicone gone black, loose tiles and the shower screen leaking down the wall. Not a boiler, and we tell you that on the phone.
Making good
Filling, patching, skirting, a door repainted where the dog got at it. The jobs a trade turns down because they are too small to book a day for.

How it works
Why People Book Us Twice
Three things that are unusual enough to be worth saying out loud.
Booked by the half day
You are not paying a call out charge for a two minute job, and we are not pretending a two minute job is worth ninety pounds.
Your list, your order
You decide what matters. We work down it and tell you an hour before the end, so you can add one more if there is time.
We say when it is not us
Gas, anything past a fitting on the electrics, and structural work all need somebody else. You hear that on the phone, not after a deposit.
Six jobs on that list had been sitting there over a year. All of them gone in one afternoon, and he swept up after himself.Fiona Ballantyne, Shawlands

FAQ
Before You Send the List
Including the two things we will tell you to ring somebody else about.
Nothing is too small. A single dripping tap is fine, it just gets booked into a half day with whatever else is on the list, because sending a van across Glasgow for one washer is how other trades end up charging ninety pounds for it.
Forty five pounds an hour with a half day minimum, so a standard booking is one hundred and eighty. Materials go on at what we paid, with the receipt. The number is agreed before we start and it does not move because a job turned out fiddly.
No gas work at all, and on electrics only up to changing a fitting. Anything past that needs someone registered, and we will tell you on the phone rather than after taking a deposit. We are usually happy to say who to ring.
Either. Tell us and we pick things up on the way, charged at cost with the receipt. If you have already bought it, even better, we will tell you honestly whether it is the right thing before we fit it.
Yes. Evenings until eight and Saturday mornings, at the same rate. Sunday is family time and we would rather say so than quietly charge you double for it.

Photograph the fridge if that is easier. We price the half day off the list and come back the same day, and you can add to it right up until we arrive.
