Aston, my reliable handyman came to our home again on Tuesday. He fixed our leaky kitchen extension roof where the vertical wall meets the small single storey pitched roof. He repaired the crumbled motor and filled the gap neatly. He also fixed our garden fencing panels which had become loose from concrete posts by adding some boards onto the existing feather edge panels. He is efficient, thorough and his work is neat. He is punctual and also a great communicator. Just like everyone else recommended him before me, I can always recommend him to anyone. His mobile number (WhatsApp)on 07490 947355.
Another appreciative shout out for Aston. I called this morning about a troublesome lock and front door. Luckily he was able to come out this afternoon and resolved both promptly and efficiently. Would happily recommend and use Aston again. Another great find on the EDF.

I'd also like to add a recommendation for Aston. Aston came to fit some blinds for me this week - and at the same time he suggested it would be good to take down an old blind and refit it so that it would line up with the new one. The blinds look perfect! If Aston hadn't suggested changing the alignment of the old blind it would not have looked nearly as good. This is the 3rd time Aston has done jobs for me - and he is always very professional and skilled. I'll definitely use Aston again and highly recommend him.
I hired Aston to refit a towel rail and loo roll holder in my bathroom. He completed the job over two separate visits to allow for drying time. I found him to be very professional. His communication about the work was excellent, he arrived punctually, he was courteous to have around the house and his work was meticulous and to a high standard. He clearly takes a lot of pride in his work. At ?300 this did not come cheap, but I am very pleased with the final result.
Aston came round to do several jobs for us and he did an excellent job. It was an exceptionally hot day but Aston kept his cool! I would definitely use Aston?s services again and would 100^ recommend him. He was easy to communicate with and very helpful in making decisions when I was struggling! Thanks Aston and see you again soon no doubt.
We have asked Aston to do a variety of jobs over the past 2 years or so and have found him unfailingly reliable, polite and efficient. He communicates well from beginning to end and (particularly important) will say if he doesn't feel that he has the skills required for the job. He has repaired doors, door handles, light fittings and furniture and has also done painting for us. His charges are reasonable and we would have no hesitation in recommending him.
Strongly recommend Aston (07490 947355), who fixed a tricky cabinet door for us that had come off its hinges repeatedly. His work was precise, done efficiently, reasonably priced and he was great to have around. Would definitely call him in again.

Looking for someone who can attach an IKEA door panel to a new IKEA integrated dishwasher. The machine is all plumbed in and connected.

The dishwasher name is: Renodlad

The door panel is: Grevsta

The specific IKEA instructions are available.

The site of the job is Camberwell Grove

Thanks.

Aston has just put together an astonishing amount of IKEA stuff and hung various paintings, coat hooks and very delicate paper screen - all in one day and to an exceptional standard. I would recommend him without hesitation a and wouldn't want to use anyone else!

I too can thoroughly recommend Aston. He put up a wall mounted bannister, added a bannister rail & handle, put up numerous curtain poles and helped fix our dodgy guttering. He was an absolute gent and I felt very comfortable leaving him to finish the work in our house when I had to head off to work in the afternoon.

Aston came to see us to try to repair failing hinges on an integrated fridge and a separate freezer - he spent a couple of hours trying to fix them and advised we needed new hinges - he made no charge for that visit!


Today he came and fitted the 4 sets of new hinges - job done very satisfactorily in an hour!


Nice man, tidy worker and all at fair prices.


Can?t rate him high enough!

Like the many others who have already posted on this thread to, I would highly recommend Aston for the quality and meticulous approach to the jobs he undertakes. I had two drawers in a home-made unit that required replacement runners. This was a particularly tricky and awkward job as the unit had been custom-built and nothing was of a standard size. I'm pleased to say that Aston was able to make the necessary adjustments to fit the runners which now work perfectly.


Aston also resealed a leaking shower unit which had been a problem for some considerable time and which, despite having already been resealed more than once, continued to leak. Aston explained what he thought might be causing the problem and what he would do to repair the leaks. Again, his work was meticulous and the finished job was extremely neat and tidy.


I would highly recommend Aston and I certainly intend to use his services again should the need arise.

Really positive experience yesterday with Aston, who put up all of the pictures in our recently repainted flat, including some huge, heavy frames. He was extremely careful with the appearance of the pictures on the wall, and also to protect the new paintwork. We were really impressed with the end result, and also with Aston?s professional, friendly manner. We wouldn?t hesitate to contact him again.
Another recommendation for Aston, who disassembled, reassembled and reinforced a wooden Ikea kitchen trolley that kept collapsing - now solid as a rock. He also put new hinges and a bolt on an outhouse/shed door. He's efficient, professional, friendly and calm and I won't hesitate to ask him to tackle other tasks in the future.

RS I highly recommend Aston. He came on time, fixed a number of things - 2 broken door handle locks, fixed a jammed window handle, restored a shower head holder, trimmed a door so that it would close. He's efficient, professional, friendly and provides a great service. He is reasonable too and I strongly recommend Aston for any handyman work.

    • Alas, poor Toadflax!  And gentle Alkanet.
    • Generally wild flowers which are indigenous to the UK are more likely to be supporting more wild life than introduced species, more commonly found in gardens, simply because wild life hasn't had time to adapt to it. Although of course many introductions which flower will be supporting pollinators more generally. (This would also be true of native as opposed to introduced tree and scrub species). And I suspect plants which are flowering over public space, even if rooted on private private, are being removed to stop them setting seed in public space. [Although many might see that as a good thing if the plants have merits of their own).
    • Good question. I think the benefit of some wild flowers is that they appear earlier in the spring and provide nectar for insects coming out of hibernation. Also, natives have evolved with the insects, some of which can only survive with certain native plants. For example, some species of  caterpillars need a specific native plant for their food. Having said that, I've seen lots of pollinators having a field day on some non native flowers. My bees love my verbena bonariensis for example.
    • Genuine question- are wild flowers/weeds better for wildlife than cultivated flowers? My cultivated flowers and their seeds attract birds, bees and all kinds of insects, maybe more so than wild flowers.
