Services
Everything your home needs, inside and out
From a single dripping tap to a full exterior repaint, one business takes care of it.
Exterior Painting
Masonry, windows, doors, fascias and fences painted to protect your home from Devon weather. Proper preparation, quality exterior paints and a finish that lasts, whether it's a cottage, terrace or detached house.
Handyman & Home Repairs
The jobs that keep piling up: sticking doors, loose shelves, dripping taps, resealing baths, flat-pack assembly and general repairs. Book a few hours or a full day to work through your list.
Garden Maintenance
Regular fortnightly or monthly garden care including mowing, weeding, borders and hedge trimming. Your garden stays tidy all year round without you having to think about it.
Garden Clearance & Tidy-Ups
Overgrown gardens taken back to tidy, including cutting back, clearing, hedge trimming and green waste removal. Ideal before a sale, a new tenancy, or simply a fresh start.
Gutter Clearing & Seasonal Maintenance
Gutters and downpipes cleared, leaves removed and drains checked to prevent leaks and damp. Autumn and spring checks keep small problems from becoming expensive ones.

Reviews
What our customers say
★★★★★
Our hallway, stairs and landing look brand new. Everything was covered up, the finish is spotless, and it was done in the time we were quoted. Already booked in for the living room.
★★★★★
I manage three holiday cottages near Sidmouth and finally have someone I can rely on. Quick to respond, sends photos of every job, and the pre-season refresh was spot on.
★★★★★
Sent a list of odd jobs over WhatsApp and had a clear price the next day. Doors fixed, shelves up, bath resealed and the garden cut back, all in one visit. Brilliant.
