What we do

Four trades,
one person.

Electrics, plumbing, painting and decor, shutters and repairs. Plus the bathroom jobs that need all four.

Electrics

Sockets that do not hold a plug, lights that were fitted in the wrong place, extractor fans, outdoor lighting and the fittings that came with the house and never worked properly.

Commonly asked for

  • Extra sockets and switches
  • Light fittings, indoor and outdoor
  • Extractor and ceiling fans
  • Faults chased down and put right

Plumbing

Most of it is small, and most of it gets more expensive the longer it is ignored, especially in a house that stands empty half the year.

Taps and leaks

Dripping taps, running cisterns and the slow leak behind a unit that only shows up as a bill.

Pressure and heaters

Weak showers, immersion heaters and the pressure problems that come with older Algarve plumbing.

Where paint fails first here

  • South-facing walls and railings
  • Window frames and shutters
  • Terraces and pool surrounds
  • Anywhere salt air reaches

Painting and decor

Inside and out. Algarve sun and salt air take paintwork apart faster than most owners expect, and it always shows on the sunny side first.

Repainted before it blisters is a fraction of the cost of repairing what is underneath.

Shutters, repairs and everything else

Shutters

Stuck, dropped or jammed. Common on the coast and easily put right before the mechanism has to be replaced.

General repairs

The jobs that do not belong to any single trade, which is the whole point of calling a handyman.

Bathroom renovations

The one job that needs the plumbing, the electrics, the tiling and the paint. One person, one price.

Whatever you need

His own words on the Facebook page: "whatever you need we do it." If it is not on this page, ask.

Prices

What does it cost?

Placeholder — needs your figures

No rates are published anywhere, and we will not guess at them. Send an hourly rate, a call-out minimum, or a from-price for a bathroom, and it goes on the page. Expat owners price-check hard, and a page with numbers beats one without.

Placeholder — needs confirming

Worth adding once you confirm them:

  • The towns you actually cover across the Algarve
  • Whether you hold public liability insurance
  • Whether you take on holiday-let turnarounds and key-holding
  • Whether you invoice with an NIF for rental owners
  • Whether you work in Portuguese as well as English
