Plaster and Plasterboard Patching Retford

Small repairs to plasterboard and plaster are regularly necessary in properties around Retford, and odd job men are often called in to do these rather than certified tradesmen. It's not normally that hard to correct small areas of damaged plasterwork and because proper plasterers are regularly up to their eyes in work, they might not want to book in these little repair jobs. A really good handyman should be able to handle such minor repairs and will generally be less costly than a tradesman.

Painting & Decorating Retford

The vast majority of Retford odd job men will provide general painting/decorating services for those smaller one-off jobs. If your entire house in Retford needs to be decorated you might be more comfortable contacting an experienced painter/decorator, but for straightforward decorating work it is going to be less expensive to use a handyman service. A handyman can be expected to accomplish the following kinds of decorating work: the filling of blemishes and cracks, painting woodwork (i.e. architraves, skirting boards and dado rails), patching plaster, minor wallpapering projects and door painting (varnishing or glossing).

When all is said and done, although you are looking for a somewhat cheaper service, the work must still be carried out properly - so you should ask to see proof of work they've done previously, to put your mind at ease. Most Retford handymen will put together a record of their past work on their phone or have photos posted on social media sites such as Facebook or Instagram.

A Handyman in the Garden

Most handymen will be just as happy doing stuff outside your home as they will indoors, so don't be afraid to ask them to do some work in the garden as well. Jobs in the garden are often more commonplace than jobs indoors, and are just as necessary. If you need jobs done like hedge clipping and lawn mowing, you may come across a local Retford handyman who'll give them a go. Most would rather stick with fence installation, patio laying and similar construction type activities.

Boarding Out a Loft

Loft boarding can be a great way to improve your home's value, and it's even better when done by a skilled odd job man. A handyman can use their expertise in maintenance and home improvement to transform an underutilised attic into a functional storage area or even a comfy additional room. A talented handyman has a range of skills that are essential for loft boarding. Before laying down the boards, they ensure that the attic's load-bearing capacity is considered by understanding the structural elements of your house. This expertise can prevent potential safety hazards by ensuring that boards are installed to code and safely. An expert handyperson will also take steps to ensure that the insulation in the home is not compressed, as they know that this will help to maintain energy efficiency. (16935)
