Repairs and maintenance

The list that builds up over a year and never quite justifies calling a specialist: a door that drags, a cracked tile, a tap that drips, a socket that has stopped working.

Put several together into one visit and it costs a fraction of booking them separately.

Typical visit

  • Doors easing and rehanging
  • Cracked or lifted tiles replaced
  • Leaks, taps and radiator work
  • Shelving, blinds and fixings
  • Making good before decorating
The bathroom job

Four trades, one price

A bathroom is the clearest case for a multi-trade: strip out, plumb, tile, wire and paint. Done by one person it is one quote and one schedule.

Strip out and plumb

Old suite out, new one in, pipework altered where the layout changes.

Tile and finish

Walls and floor tiled, then the electrics and paintwork finished off the same week.

The unusual one

Blacksmith bending

Worth asking about

  • Metal bent and shaped to a drawing
  • Brackets and fixings made rather than bought
  • Repairs to gates and railings
  • One-off pieces where nothing off the shelf fits

Blacksmith bending is on his own list of services and it is not something most handymen offer. It means a bracket, a rail or a fixing can be made to suit rather than bodged from whatever the merchant had.

Placeholder: the exact scope of the metalwork is not described anywhere. Confirm it and this section can say what you actually take on.

Prices

What does it cost?

Placeholder — needs your figures

No rates are published anywhere, and we will not guess at them. Send an hourly rate, a call-out minimum, or a from-price for a bathroom, and they go on the page. People ring far more readily when they have some idea first.

Placeholder — needs confirming

Worth adding once you confirm them:

  • How many years you have been at it
  • Whether you hold public liability insurance
  • Whether the electrical work is RECI or Safe Electric registered
  • The areas of Limerick and county you cover
  • Whether you take on landlord and letting agency work
  • Whether you invoice with VAT
