Painting & Decorating Fen Drayton

The vast majority of Fen Drayton odd job men will offer basic painting and decorating services for your smaller one-off jobs. If your whole house in Fen Drayton needs decorating you may be more comfortable contacting an established painter and decorator, but for simple decorating work it should be cheaper to use a handyman type service.

Shelf Installation Fen Drayton

When I recently asked an odd project man in Fen Drayton what was the most common project that he was asked to do, he replied "putting up shelves". I guess that is no huge shock, since most homes in Fen Drayton have some form of shelves or shelving. Of course, putting up a shelf is a task that your everyday homeowner will be able to accomplish on their own. But, there are still plenty of people who don't have a clue about how to do this, or just don't have the time, and would rather hire a handyman. Being able to relax in the knowledge that the task will be done accurately and that the shelves aren't going to give way after a month is another benefit. This particular service will also be required by business owners in Fen Drayton, because shops and commercial premises need shelving and racking as well as residential homes.
