From time to time I have seen advertisements for handymen who have in the advertisement No job too small
Has anyone any experiece of wanting a very small job done and contacted someone advertising in that way and can say way happened please?
Do the mean it, or is it "Oh not that small"
For example, if you want one branch about an inch in diameter pruned off a shrub as it is growing out over the path at head height and it is gradually growing out further.
Will they do that or do they require bundling in a lot of other gardening?
I tend to save up unimportant minor jobs then as a local handyman who I’ve used before. He’s fantastic, very hard working, reliable and leaves the area very clean - but he is in demand! By asking him to do several jobs I think that it helps him by cutting down on individual journeys to do one thing at a time. Last time he came he reseated my bathroom sink, fitted a new smoke detector, fixed a broken tile on roof, fitted a key safe, mended leaking gutters, hung up some new pictures and fitted a rubber strip to stop leaves getting into my garage.
I did share his phone number with a couple of friends who now use him a lot - I’m not doing that again as he’s getting too busy now!! I don’t know what I will do when he retires in four years time!
