What we do
Nine trades, one phone call, one invoice.
Joinery, decorating, plumbing, small fixings, electrical work, workplace maintenance, landscaping, plastering and external work. The point of a handyman firm is that your list does not have to be sorted into trades before you ring — one call covers all nine, for homes and businesses in the Altrincham area.
Their published rates
£70 first hour
then £22.50 per half hour, excluding VAT
Altrincham Handyman publish their own rates rather than hiding them: £70 for the first hour, then £22.50 per half hour, all exclusive of VAT. Larger pieces of work are quoted in writing instead. Those figures are theirs, taken straight from the 'Our Rates' section of their existing site — we have reproduced them rather than invented a price list, and they should be confirmed as current before this goes live.

01
Joinery
Doors, floors, stairs, built-ins — made to fit the room you actually have
Altrincham Handyman keep experienced joiners on the books for exactly the work that beats an off-the-shelf solution: hanging and easing doors, fitting architrave and skirting, building into alcoves, laying and repairing timber and laminate floors, and putting right the joinery an earlier owner bodged.

Decorating
Preparation first — which is the only reason paint lasts
A stress-free decorating service is how Altrincham Handyman describe it themselves, and stress-free mostly means preparation. Filling, caulking, sanding, sealing and masking take longer than the painting, and skipping them is why a room repainted last spring already looks tired.

Plumbing
From a dripping tap to a whole new bathroom
Experienced plumbing technicians handle everything from a leaking tap or a blocked sink through to installing a new bathroom. Because we also plaster, tile, decorate and do joinery, the hole in the wall gets filled and painted by the same firm rather than left for you to sort out.

Joinery Fixings & Odd Jobs
The list of small jobs nobody else will come out for
This is the service Altrincham Handyman describe as the range of small jobs where you just need a helping hand. It is also the reason most people find us: one call clears a list that has been on the fridge door since February.
