For my rented cottage near Richmond, I need someone to do general
maintenance work (painting, weed clearing the drive and some repointing).

If anyone knows of a reliable person able to do these jobs please get in touch via the website - not sure if this is the appropriate area to place a request
like this.

many thanks

You may find that your local Age Concern office has a list of reputable trades and handymen. Our local one does, and I think they are pretty reliable. We dont personally use them, though I was once instrumental in selecting such persons. I seem to be the resident one in our household. My constant list indicates I will be 'kept on' for sometime yet! Get a price for any work to be done, and don't pay 'up front'. You know this anyway.

I have found a wonderful chap but it would be a bit too far away. My daughter spotted an advert in her local post office so it might be worth looking in local and not quite so local shops.
