Repairs done properly, not patched over.
Reactive maintenance and planned upkeep for residential and commercial properties in Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds.
Understanding the cause, not just the symptom
Most maintenance problems have a root cause. A sticking door might be seasonal movement, a settling frame, or something more structural. Before I start any repair, I take time to understand what's actually going on. That way, the work I do addresses the real problem — not just what's visible on the surface.
I work on both domestic and commercial properties, and I'm comfortable being the second person called in, after someone else's work hasn't held up. I'll tell you honestly what I find and what I'd recommend.
Doors, frames & thresholds
Sticking, dropping, or draught-ridden doors — diagnosed and corrected properly. Frame repairs, threshold plates, and weathersealing included where needed.
Timber repairs
Rot repairs, damaged boards, skirting, architrave, and structural timbers. Where possible I'll repair rather than replace — usually better value and a better result.
Gutters & external maintenance
Gutter clearance and repair, fascia boards, minor external repairs. Preventative work that avoids more costly problems further down the line.
Planned maintenance schedules
For commercial clients or landlords, I'm happy to discuss regular visit schedules — addressing small issues before they become larger ones.
Fixture repairs & adjustments
Loose fittings, cabinet hardware, worktop repairs, shelving pulling away from walls — practical repairs done to a proper standard.
Security improvements
Additional locks, reinforced frames, hinge bolts, security hardware. Practical upgrades that make a genuine difference without unnecessary expense.
Got a maintenance job to discuss?
A brief description — by phone or WhatsApp — is usually enough to get started. I'll come and assess before any commitment is made.
