I will use Skilled Handyman never again. I would expect people of their trade to come in a van with basic tools and fixings present, and only in exceptional cases leaving to buy something. The guy did... See more

This was the worst service ever! I never thought it could have been so expensive and difficult to replace a simple socket. Firstly, we had to book 5 times, because they kept forgetting to confirm... See more

Excellent Service

Skilled Handyman tradesman did many different types of jobs concerning plumbing, electric and decoration. He was very polite and in fact used dust sheets and hoovered after each job was complete. We found the service to be excellent from my first contact email to job completion. We certainly will hesitate to use them again.

Unacceptable

An electrician who doesn't turn off electricity- fuses lights several times takes two hours to do a job most electricians would have completed in 20mins.

Reply from Skilled Handyman Services

There was a short circuit in the electrical wiring. Our electrician had to trace the wires to find the short circuit and then rewire the lights. Since the short circuit was traced between the light switch and the light fitting, the electrician felt there was not to switch off from the consumer unit and cause the inconvenience to the family. The lights were repaired and left working. During the 2 hours the electrician not only repaired the short on the internal lights, he also repaired the outside security lights.

A first class service

Steve was professional and did an excellent job of hanging pictures and mirrors throughout our house. There was no mess, no fuss and I was really impressed by how quick and easy it was to arrange. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Skilled Handyman Services.

Very professional and comprehensive service

From initial contact through the work to payment the service was very professional. Good polite and knowledgeable initial contact. Easy arrangement of timing and range of services needed. Jack ( the technician ) was polite and very competent. He worked quickly and efficiently. He is a credit to the company. I had jack for two days and I now have compiled a list of jobs for a further day or so. I highly recommend the service. Well done to them.

outstanding service all round

This service was ideal for getting multiple jobs done around my home in 1 day by 1 handyman. Was very respectful with good knowledge and various skills. Will be using again in the future.

Series of carpentry, plumbing and electrical jobs

All jobs done to very high standard by one multi skilled handyman. Did not mind my children, in fact they got on very well with him. Covered his shoes before he came in, covered everything before starting work and vacuumed after the work was finished. We please and will use them again. No hesitation is recommending.
