Plaster and Plasterboard Patching Horstead

Small repairs to plasterboard and plaster are regularly necessary in properties around Horstead, and odd job men are often called in to do these instead of skilled tradesmen. Small areas of damaged plaster aren't too hard to repair, and decent plasterers are not usually all that eager to book these minor repairs into their hectic work schedules. An odd job man is generally cheaper than a plasterer, but will still be perfectly capable of doing a good job on such modest plaster repairs.

Putting up Shelves Horstead

When I recently asked an odd job man in Horstead what was the most commonplace project that he was requested to do, he answered "fixing up shelves". I suppose it isn't surprising really, because every property in Horstead almost certainly has shelving in various locations. Fixing up a shelf is of course a task that your run-of-the-mill homeowner should be able to do at a push. But, there are still lots of people who don't have a clue about how to do this, or simply don't have the time, and would rather hire an odd job man. Another bonus of bringing in an expert is that you know the work will be done accurately, and the shelves will not fall down after a couple of weeks. Obviously, it's not just residential properties in Horstead which require shelving, shops and business premises also need different kinds of shelving and racking for both storing and displaying their merchandise.

Boarding Out a Loft

A seasoned handyman can transform a loft into a valuable storage space with loft boarding. A handyman's skills can be put to good use transforming an underutilised loft into a functional storage area or even a cosy additional room. Loft boarding is a task that requires a host of skills, which a talented handyman has. They consider the loft's load-bearing capacity before laying down the boards, having a good understanding of the structural elements of your house. Incorrectly installed loft boards can compromise the structural integrity of the house, so it's important to hire a handyman with expertise in loft boarding. A skilled handyperson will be knowledgeable about insulation requirements and will ensure that any insulation present is not compressed, thus maintaining the energy efficiency of the home. (16935)
