Help with the smaller jobs around your home
Not every home maintenance job needs a large contractor. Some simply need a capable and careful person who will assess the work, explain what is involved and complete it efficiently.
Willow Home Solutions helps with the repairs, replacements and smaller improvements that keep an existing home working well and looking cared for. You can enquire about one individual job or include several smaller tasks in the same enquiry.
The aim is simple: good-quality work, efficient use of time and a fair price agreed before the job begins.
Home maintenance and handyman services
Services cover a broad range of smaller repairs and improvements inside and outside the home. The examples below are intended as a guide rather than an exhaustive list. If you cannot see your particular job, get in touch with a short description.
Decorating
Smaller decorating jobs and room refreshes completed with careful preparation and attention to the finish.
Decorating projects are discussed individually to make sure the work is suitable. I generally undertake smaller decorating jobs and room refreshes rather than full-house redecoration. All decorating enquiries are welcome and larger projects may be considered depending on the scope of work and availability.

Careful work, kept simple
The standard of the finished work matters, whether the job takes an hour or most of a day. I will assess what is required, explain the proposed work and provide a clear quotation before anything begins.
The work will be approached practically and efficiently, without rushing the details that affect the finished result. If the scope changes or an additional issue becomes apparent, this will be discussed rather than assumed.
Where materials are required, the quotation will make clear what is included. If a job falls outside the services offered or needs a qualified specialist, I will say so. Willow Home Solutions is fully insured.
Is my job suitable?
I specialise in maintaining, repairing and improving existing homes. If the job involves repairing, replacing or improving something that is already there, it is likely to be a service I offer.
I do not undertake structural alterations, new electrical wiring, gas work, major plumbing installations, roofing, consumer unit replacements or work requiring Building Control approval or specialist certification. Where appropriate, I will recommend that a suitably qualified tradesperson is used.
I primarily undertake smaller projects that can usually be completed within a day. Larger jobs may be considered depending on the scope of work and availability.
If you are unsure whether your project is suitable, please get in touch. I am always happy to discuss your requirements and advise whether it is something I can help with.
