The Essex & Kent Handyman

I have used Tom on a number of occasions now and wouldn't look anywhere else. From furniture assembly to wall hanging our TVs, he always does the best job we could ever wish for. Extremely professional and a credit to his trade, while remaining friendly and offering the highest levels of service. Can't recommend highly enough and will be sure to be asking for his help once again soon.

Tom I don’t even know what to say, I know you’ve done other jobs for me in the past but I can’t thank you enough for sorting our absolute mess of a summer house and shed. From drywall to plastering to painting the whole of the outside plus all the lighting. Tom is so friendly, professional, trustworthy, punctual, responsive to messages, super tidy, and a excellent worker. I would million percent recommend him to anyone. You have been a brilliant to us and I know we will have you back time and time again. Thank you so much, see you soon xxx

Excellent service. Can’t recommend Tom highly enough, always responds quickly and does a professional job. Sorted our boiler the same day we rang him! Brilliant

Unfortunately fitting internal door handles didn’t go as expected. Issues with the door handles that incorporated the privacy locks, differing opinions as to what caused these not to lock properly but we were driven to have a thumbscrew lock fitted which wasn’t a success either. The thumbscrew was easy to operate when it wasn’t fitted but became very stiff when it was fitted to the door. Gave up using Jake in the end and opted to use another firm who I know have an experienced carpenter. My own fault as I tried to get the work completed cheaper. Waste of £120 to have the thumbscrew lock fitted, £120 down the drain and we’ve opted to find an alternative person / company to do some decorating. Also we expected the work to be finished in one visit, one day of inconvenience, instead it took 3 visits. I’m not totally convinced that the Howdens products were completely to blame, but that’s only my personal opinion…

I had Tom and a member of his his team put together and box in two sets of flat pack wardrobes to create a fitted finish. They were both extremely pleasant and worked efficiently and effectively throughout the day. I would recommend the Essex handyman and I plan to have him back soon to complete other outstanding jobs around my house. Thanks once again.
