Barry fixed some shelves in a cupboard that had collapsed. The work was completed speedily yet carefully. He explained clearly what he was going to do. Barry has a very pleasant demeanour and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. I shall certainly be using him again and have recommended him to my neighbours.

Barry came to hang some pictures for me. He arranged a time within a few days of me contacting him, confirmed his arrival time on the morning, and did the job quickly, to a high standard and neatly. I’d mentioned I had to take a call around the time he was finishing and he made sure to checkin with me before then.

Barry repaired and redecorated the exterior of our house. Having obtained a few quotes, Barry's was reasonable and sensible and he was one of only two tradesmen that actually turned up to assess the work prior to quoting. His communications were prompt and exemplary, stating when he could not work due the terrible weather and when he expected to return. He was happy to answer questions about the repairs and materials. The exterior now looks fantastic! He was also happy to return once the scaffolding was removed to paint over the scaffold contact points. I was sufficiently confident for Barry to keep hold of the house keys until our return from holiday - and these were returned within 24 hours of asking! Could not be happier!

Barry has worked on repairs for my flat several times over 8 years. He will always find a great solution to an issue and carry it out efficiently, to a high quality. He is tidy and prompt. Previously he has regrouted, replaced seals, and rejigged tricky areas to prevent water damage around kitchen sink and bath - alongside other standard repairs like putting up shelves, fixing shower/curtain rails and window frame remedial work. Barry recently came to take down a built-in wardrobe and make good and paint the wall and suggested reusing the wardrobe on another wall. All worked out very well. Highly recommended for standard of work, useful solutions and trustworthiness.

Barry is just great. I’ve used him for over ten years. He’s fixed fitted kitchen doors coming off their hinges, put up shelves, painted inside and out and fitted bathroom cabinets with lights. He can turn his hand to anything and is always helpful and polite and tidies up after himself. I can’t recommend him highly enough, but he does get busy so book him up with some notice.

I have been using Barry for more than 10 years and he's done everything from tiling a hearth, mounting pictures on the wall to putting together furniture. I feel like he's able to complete a wide range of tasks always to a very high standard. He's friendly and also extremely tidy. I've recommended him to a number of my friends and neighbours.

Barry has done a great deal of work for me over the years. I am nearly 82, and he is great at producing solutions to my ever-increasing problems. Apart from my weakening muscles, my sight is deteriorating, so last December he designed and built steps with a banister for me to use when going from one level to another in my sloping garden. He also put a shelf with lighting underneath it, over the hob in my kitchen. Barry is the kindest, most supportive person, and he's also hilariously funny, so he not only makes my life easier practically, but raises my spirits while doing so. Last time I saw him, he was at the front gate, leaving after a day's work here. He suddenly took out an electric screw-driver and proceeded to tighten up the wooden gate, which had been falling apart. He is a treasure, and apart from his honesty, reliability and amazing range of skills, he is a lovely person.

We have used Handy on the Hill for many jobs most recently fixing a shower seal, mending a curtain rail, building a bed and kitchen tiling. His work is extremely high quality and consistent. He is trustworthy, an excellent craftsman having mended doors and Skirting boards for us! I highly recommend his work a gold standard business.

Barry has performed "handy man " jobs for us for many years - hanging paintings, touching up plaster and painting, fixing lights etc. Last year he also completed more substantial work, eg retiling our bathroom. Barry is always on time, tidy and a pleasure to work with. His work is of an excellent quality and he is completely reliable and trustworthy (I have often given him a spare set of keys if we are not in the house). I feel his prices are reasonable for the excellent quality of work performed . I would have no hesitation in recommending Barry.
