THE DESIGNER HANDYMAN
So what is a “Designer” Handyman, and why would you want to employ one? On the first point I can promise I won’t turn up with a Prada tool bag, wearing Manolo Blahnik workboots...I view design in a different light, as an everyday, more practical and discrete skill, that everyone can access to improve their homes and lives.
On the Handyman side of the coin, I have the practical ability and equipment to carryout a range of building and maintenance trades, from mending leaking taps and putting up pictures; working with minimum fuss or mess and looking after the home in which I am working.
As a Designer I bring the capacity to look at how things are organised, identify how they could work better and come up with aesthetically pleasing alternatives. I specialise in identifying and creating innovative storage solutions that help improve how a home can be enjoyed.
As The Designer Handyman I bring the best of both services that help us make the most of our homes.

BATHROOM RENOVATION
This project arose from a leaking shower pump. It required careful deconstruction to identify the cause and minimal repairs needed. Then replacing shower fittings, basin and tiling.

KITCHEN AND BATHROOM UPGRADE
" Bob re-designed my kitchen and bathroom and did all the work with a high level of attention to detail. All the way through he consulted me and came up with creative solutions to what seemed like impossible design problems. A heated tile wall in the bathroom was perhaps the icing on the cake - why don’t all bathrooms have these - they are amazing ! I cannot recommend Bob’s services more highly. A trusted and skilled person, who listens and takes care and pride in his work – and delivers high quality results. We are delighted with the work he has done. " Anna
