Handyman - recommendation James Carmichael

Recommended Posts

I wanted to recommend James Carmichael, a fantastic handyman!


He completed some (annoying) plumbing jobs for us recently and some electric work last year - and I cannot recommend enough.


James is very professional, friendly, reliable and 'gets the job done' - no matter how tedious it turns out to be (James went out of his way to find the right part of a less common bathroom tap, which involved travelling all over London on his Saturday)! His work is to a very high standard, and his communication is impeccable.


I realise this sounds like I have shares in the James Carmichael enterprise, yet although I would not mind, I don't and this is a sincere recommendation.


Highly recommended - James Carmichael 07971 992899.

Just wanted to add my recommendation for James Carmichael. We needed a number of jobs done. He came round at really short notice and did such a great job, including on a few little extras that also needed doing. He was really helpful, polite and tidy.

James is wonderful. We had a long list including putting up paintings, fixing a dodgy tap and re-painting a ceiling and James did all of it with speed and skill. That's great but it's also worth saying that he's one of the nicest people I've met in a long time.


Hugely recommended. Our community benefits so much from having people like James.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
