Colin - Local handyman.

[will_s01]

We had colin round this morning to put up new fencing in our front and back gardens and hang a couple of shelves. He came round really fast after we initially contacted him, gave us a really good quote and was very flexible about when he could come to do the work. He was here yesterday and today and did an excellent job, as well as being super-friendly and polite throughout. We'll definitely use him again and I would happily recommend him to anyone.

I had Colin round last week and he was honestly fantastic.

He came round when I wanted and completed the jobs I wanted doing. (I had previously been let down a few times - not by anyone on this forum). But Colin was more than happy to come to the rescue with my small jobs and completed them all within an hour to a very high standard.

The jobs were:-

- Putting up a rail over my bath

- Fixing a toilet roll holder

- Putting some hooks up for some net curtains to be attached too

- Fixing a nail in the wall for a picture to attach too.

I will most defiantly be using Colin again.

His Mobile number is 07754691541

Many Thanks Colin!

I used Colin (07754691541) last week to paint the inside my apartment, the iron fence at the front, install a new light fitting, and repair damage to a kitchen worktop. I am very happy with the results.

As others have mentioned on this forum Colin is a gent, is flexible on timing, provides fair quotes, and is trustworthy. I will use him again in the future.

Comment by carterjennifer00 above sounds like a deliberate attempt to ruin Colin's good reputation - as a result I'd say to beware any recommendations she has left. And shame on you - this is someones livelihood that you are playing with.

The whole point of these feedback forums is to put your experiences on here, good and bad. He gave me a really bad service and I'm being called a lier for being honest! If you want to start a I love Colin page then go ahead, all I am saying is he wasn't good to me. So really its shame on you! You look rather stupid for those comments in my eyes.

I have used Colin on two occasions : in Oct 2014 to paint our lounge and second reception room and in March/April of this year to paint a feature wall in the nursery, 'Annie Sloan' a chest of drawers and 2 x bedside tables, repair and paint garden fences and walls, build and paint a new fence in the front garden, patio the front, paint all exterior masonry, build and paint a bin shed and put up a new porch light.

My husband and I were both really pleased with all the work that was carried out. Colin's prices were reasonable, the work was carried out and completed within the timeframes that we agreed and I felt in particular that Colin was really patient with me as the client (I changed my mind twice about the colour of the fence paint causing additional work and re-work for Colin .. sorry about that!).

Based on our experiences above I would be more than happy to recommend Colin and those who worked with him for the specialist work (e.g. plastering).

Another thumbs up for Colin. We have used him numerous times over the years for painting and smaller odd jobs. We have always been extremely happy with his work and his prices are very reasonable. He's always gone out of his way to complete jobs quickly and he's never let us down. Couldn't recommend him more highly!

I used Collin for the first time yesterday and couldn't be more pleased. He came to look at the many small jobs I had when he said he would, and spent about half an hour here patiently listing them all and answering my questions. He had a calm, can do approach to everything and arranged to come back in two days. He came when he said he would and worked really hard , and at a good pace throughout, over five hours. All were small jobs like fixing broken cupboards, dismantling furniture, hanging pictures, putting up shelves. He worked really hard the whole time and didn't mind at all when I added more jobs I hadn't mentioned or changed my mind about things as he was working. He was a really nice bloke. I am thrilled to have all these jobs done, and at a very reasonable rate. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again and recommend him highly. Thank you Collin!

Colin is an absolute Godsend... over many years now he has done a number of jobs for me, both large and small. His decorating skills are great, but he has also done more straightforward things such as putting up curtain poles and fixing brickwork. He is a local friendly chap and his charges are reasonable. Thanks Colin!

[shoshntosh]

Okay so does anyone have Colin's actual e-mail address as the one in the IP does not seem to work? THANKS!

This one should work. I've always found it easier to get him on phone or text though as not sure he checks his email during the day.

[weoley84]

Recently had Colin complete various painting/tiling/carpentry/plastering jobs around the house. His work was excellent (especially the tiling) and i found him to be a very trustworthy/hardworking and nice bloke whose prices are very reasonable. Would highly recommend for all the handyman jobs you never get around to getting done!

His number is 07754691541, email [email protected]

Just used Colin to pressure wash and stain my decking and then to clean the paving +restoring a bit of garden furniture. As usual prompt, cheerful, reasonable cost and job well done.

[JosieP]

We've used Colin loads and I couldn't recommend him higher. Reliable, reasonable and such a good guy.

[witagh]

We've used Colin for years now, and he's just done another great job for us (photo attached). He knocked through a wall between our bedroom and study, decorated the bedroom, and hung the curtain poles and mirror. He's a lovely, reliable, and trustworthy guy and I wholeheartedly recommend him. We love our new bedroom Colin - thanks very much!!

I also wanted to post a glowing recommendation for Colin who assembled our son's new bunk bed on Saturday. I found him during a handyman search on the EDF and felt that the recommendations for his services seemed the most consistent. I can see why. This is a genuine job for Colin (rather something he juggles with other things) so he prioritises his clients. We found him to be efficient, cheerful and professional. He's coming back next week to hang some pictures for us.

[Peckhampam]

Once again, Colin came round promptly and fixed a wall for me (that some other workman had messed up). He is up for any jobs, big or small and has never disappointed.

[witagh]

Colin has recently done another great job for us. Revamped and painted our tired looking front door, and porch area. Reliable, cheerful and good value, as always. Thanks Colin!

[Patels11]

Colin has worked for me for over 3 years doing a range of jobs including tiling, painting, garden landscaping, fencing, replacing broken window glass and brick masonry.

he is lovely, always on time, good rates and extremely efficient.

i have recommended to neighbours who feel the same about his professionalism.

Definitely couldn't run my home without him!

[ollynash]

I can highly recommend Colin Deery for handyman work. I found his number on this forum and he re-felted my shed room, tiled an area in front of my fire and fitted some alcove shelves.The quality of workmanship is excellent and Colin just cracks on with it and thus completed the work in very good time. He's a really nice bloke too!

Found Colin via this forum. We are new to the area and so have lots of odd jobs and decorating to do in our house.

Working with Colin was a pleasure, as not only does he do a good job, but if he has to do a couple of extra things in addition to the original quote, he does them without quibble. Tradesmen I've worked with before can refuse to paint an extra corner of a room or bang an extra couple of nails in if it wasn't what they agreed to in the first place.

Very flexible, personable guy. He painted our lounge walls, ceiling and skirting boards and put up a couple of shelves for us.

[intexasatthe moment]

The lovely Colin has just finished a small job for me .Came round at short notice and figured out a way to do something that had defeated other lesser mortals .

I've not found all the recommendations on this forum live up to the hype - but Colin does .Great guy .

[Herner]

Another mention for Colin - helped us with some handyman jobs including hanging pictures and a difficult mirror. A nice guy who gets the job done to a high standard with minimal fuss - highly recommended.

[EHN]

Colin has just done another excellent job....as usual very amendable for last minute 'add ons' and always a fair price
