The Handy Sam

Tonight is The Handy Sam Christmas party 🎅🏼🎄🥳 Just me and my Son (and the dogs) and dinner from Poor Boys Kingston

It’s been a good few years since I’ve done this, but in 2025 I’m growing a Mo’ for Movember!

I’ll be shaving off my beard on the 31st October and you’ll get to see me beardless for the first time in at least ten years 😱 Then the fun begins.

This customers decking had a couple of rotten planks. After removing them I found the joists underneath were rotten in the same area. I replaced the rotten sections of joist and the replaced the deck boards. Another happy customer.

This customer has just moved into her new home and wanted the shower screen changing. The solid glass screen was fine, but made it difficult to get to the bath taps. I removed it and replaced it with a folding screen which has created much easier access. Another happy customer.

I do lots of work for landlords around Surrey. This week I was called out to a couple of properties to do some general maintenance tasks. These included sealing a kitchen worktop, cutting out the old sealant and sealing two showers, replacing a shower mixer, replacing some bulbs, refitting a kitchen cupboard door that had ripped off its mounts and re securing a stair handrail that was hanging off the wall.

This staircase was quite unnerving to walk down with no handrail. The customer wasn’t happy with it, so I supplied and fitted a key clamp handrail for her. She now feels so much safer using the stairs and has plans to train some creeper plants up the poles. Another happy customer 👍🏼

This plastic shed was a welcome addition to the customers garden. Now they have somewhere to keep their gardening tools. If you need any work doing around the house or garden then feel free to get in touch. Even if it’s not listed on my job list, ask me anyway 👍🏼

The door frame on this old outhouse had certainly seen better days. It had rotted out on both sides and the poor old door was hanging on by the skin of its teeth! I replaced the door frame and now the door is ready for anything the customer can throw at it! Another happy customer 👍🏼

This customers ancient whirlpool bath bath hadn’t worked for years and they wanted to get rid of it. I stripped and removed the bath and the equally ancient leaking power shower, replaced both with shiny new ones, replaced the wall tiles that were siliconed to the bath and fitted a shower screen. It’s now a useable bathroom again 🛁

This customer in South London has recently moved in and wanted her house to be her home. I freshened up the ceiling, coving and skirting and painted the living room walls this lovely green for her. The colour reminds me of The Ministry of Magic from Harry Potter 🧙🏻‍♂️🧙🏼‍♀️

Her bedroom just needed a fresh coat of white on the walls and then a bright orange feature wall. I don’t know why but it makes me fancy some carrots 🥕 Another happy customer!

This customers fence panel had snapped in half. Ideally they didn’t want to replace the panel and have to paint it again so called me to repair it. One new arris rail and a couple of brackets later and the fence was nice and straight again. Also a much cheaper option than replacing the whole panel. Another happy customer.
