Another shout out for Nick.


I?ve used Nick twice over the past 6 months for some work following these recommendations -work include fixing a window, some plumbing, electrics, painting and general odd jobs. I really couldn?t recommend Nick enough -all the work was done to a very high standard (in a few cases it was fixing poor work done by others....), he and his team were extremely reliable and friendly (I?m on my own with two small kids and felt very safe with them in the house and they were lovely to my kids) and his rates were very reasonable. Nothing was a problem and he was generally a dream to deal with. Highly recommended.

Will totally ?second? the reviews of Nick, he was very professional from initial phone call to completion of the job. He spent a day fixing various things around our flat, including some pretty big plastering jobs. He made sure he didn?t take short cuts to just get the job done but to do it properly. Would definitely have him back for any further jobs we need doing. Very reasonable, professional and a nice guy too. He even fixed a couple of extra things we hadn?t noticed!! ‭+44 7866 267581‬

I wanted to provide a strong recommendation for Nick Minnes and his team. I came across Nick when someone on our street was moving out shortly after we moved in and posted on our street whatsapp group with their top ten best trades people in which Nick was listed as a handyman+. We had just moved into a house that had been lived in for 40 years by a couple in their late 80s so there was a lot of work to do! Over the last 5 years, we have used Nick on multiple occasions. The definition of handymen+ does not do Nick and his team justice as they do so much more than this. The work they have done includes:

  • A complete new bathroom refurbishment (including re-building a new wall)
  • Completely refurbishing a sitting room (including inserting sound insultation and bespoke cabinetary)
  • Bespoke under stairs storage (after a number of other trades people said it was too difficult)
  • Preparing the house for plastering (removing old wallpaper, filling in cracks)
  • Outside restoration of bricks and cornice
  • Fixing floorboards down

Nick is not your normal handymen. He is extremely creative and also great with thinking through colour schemes. I wouldn't hesitate to use Nick and his team again. Everything that they have done for me has been of the highest quality. They are trustworthy, tidy, reliable and honest. I already have a list of other jobs to get them back in for.

I would very happily provide a reference for Nick - just like the people did who were leaving our road. 

Nick can be contacted on: 07866 267 581.

Thanks,
Andy

    • I was lucky that I received a student grant from 1990-1995 first 3 years for degree and 2 years post graduate bursary. Both were based on my income and I did not have to pay back. Eldest daughter got student loan and after 20 years managed to pay it off, Youngest daughter still paying hers 18 years later. Granddaughter - still paying after 6 years. Grandson decided against FE and secured an apprentenship. I am glad that I am an old codger and not young anymore !

    • It is not only Southwark - our grandson, partner and 7 year old had a one bed council flat for years in Harlow Essex and all the properties offered were in poor condition. They eventually took a property as if they refused another one they would drop to the bottom of the Housing List. It was damp and in need of a level of renovation. Having lived in these conditions for a while they were offered better council accommodation recently, but further away from child's school. They had to pay 2 lots of rent for a few weeks as council had to undertake work in the new premises before they could move in,
    • Just had an interior decorating job done by Andy. The final outcome looks lovely and he did some remedial work at the same time to fill in gaps in the ceiling (due to previous electrical work) and to remediate any similar areas to ensure a polished overall look. Would highly recommend him for any similar job, he quoted a very reasonable price for the job as well. Thanks Andy!
