Hi, I need a Handyman for a few hours this Saturday 22nd August, (11 am to 5pm) to do a list of small jobs, for example:

*fill, sand, touch up a few paint chips on door surrounds etc

*Replace strip of mastic along back of sink (about 2 feet long)

*Replace tile grouting along back of sink (about 2 feet long)

* Polyfilla a small hole (about 1 inch), sand & touch up with paint when dry

* Fix couple of squeaky floorboards (Victorian boards)

* Remove paint smears from window

* repair window latch (polyfilla & screw), then briefly sand & re-paint window surround (very small)

* Re-fit one piece of kitchen skirting board (just needs putting back into place)

*Fix dressing table mirror (coming out of its frame)

*Advise on getting rid of water marks on wooden sink surround

*Replace spotlight bulbs in kitchen (need to be the 'heat resistant' type for inside cabinets)

Etc etc


It specifically needs to be this Saturday for a particular reason, so I very much hope you can help please.

Need someone who is a ?solution-finder?, helpful, adaptable, experienced, can bring all their own tools, speaks good English, and who will be happy to pop to hardware shop if necessary to pick up supplies.


?20 per hour Please RING due to short notice & I won't be able to log into email today: 07810 706874.

Many thanks

    • 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.
