Hi.
I can highly recommend you Local Handyman Martin Moser.
He is very talented in everything. Maybe one of the best known Handyman's West London.
With a great hour rate.
He's number is 07904205200

Hi Ema.
I agree with Susan. Martin is one of the best Handyman's around here.
He worked for me a couple of month ago and i have been really happy with him.
As i remember you can also e-mail Martin on: martinmoser11@hotmail.com
Good day.

Hi.
Thank you all so much for help.
In the end i went with the crowd and i called Martin witch was a very good idea.
Very good work and such a low price. Amazing.

Thx :-)

For future reference:

Iain Goldsmith is a highly skilled cabinet maker / carpenter, lives locally and charges extremely reasonable rates!

He too can turn his hand to a large variety of other disciplines........

His mobile number is 07937-346.082.

Do mention my name as a reference.

Regards, Marianne

Mark Steward as above gets my vote.  He has done lots of work for me.  Totally repliable and tustworthy.

Hi all.
I was really interested in this topic.
So i made a test. I called three handyman's Mark Steward, Iain Goldsmith and Martin Moser.
I must say Mark Steward was really unfriendly on the phone. Plus he charged 65£ for 2 hours!!
And the working quality wasn't very good. Iain Goldsmith was disappointing. First he didn't turned up and than once i called him again, he was telling me that's not long enough. For 2hours he wouldn't come!
In the end i called Martin Moser. He was very friendly and even came on the same day in the evening. Charged 35£ for 2hour. And his work was brilliant!

Thank you to all.
Your Tim  

I can recommend Darren Murray. Charges £15 an hour. Pleasant. Turns up! Turns up on time!  Doesn't charge for parking and did job of repairing some kitchen drawers well. Will come out for two hours. See his details above.
