Lyme Bay Handyman - our charges
Reasonable charges for odd jobs, maintenance and repairs
Please note: the handyman is now semi-retired and not taking on any new clients. This site is here for existing clients who need a reminder of contact details. We are discontinuing the phone number from March 2020 so please use email.
We operate a low-cost service for householders in these difficult times, and think you will find our charges to be very fair. There is a sliding scale of charges, so the longer you book, the cheaper per hour.
Please email if you need more information or to get a rough estimate for a particular job.

Cancellations / missed appointments
Please cancel an unwanted appointment as soon as you know you will not be able to keep it, and make sure you are in when we arrive for a booked appointment. Otherwise, we waste time and money travelling to your home or property, and let other people down unnecessarily.
Payment terms
We reserve the right to revise these charges at any time. Please ask when you call if you are unsure of our current charges.
Payment by cash or cheque upon completion for domestic customers. See also our terms and conditions for more information.
