LadyBird1977 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Yet another glowing recommendation for Colin! After being turned down by other handymen and a few extortionate quotes, Colin came and started work on the front of our house. He repaired the coving around the door, painted the door, step and bay window. He fixed the wall and honestly the house looks so great! He did a really great job and was very supportive throughout, giving me advice on which paint to buy and sometimes even fetching the materials himself.He also did some work in the garden, fixed the shed, jetwashing, painting the wall. All of this comes with a smile! Very trustworthy too.

early_doors Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 We've called on Colin a couple of times in the last week. He's fixed a gate, put up a picture frame, put together some drawers, put on some roof racks. Very reasonable, prompt and a top bloke.

MissMooMoo Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Hi, Another top recommendation for Colin!He has recently completed a lot of work in my home, such as tiling, wallpapering, painting walls and ceilings, hanging shelves, you name it.

Peckhamrye Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Another recommendation for Colin - he has repainted the walls and ceiling of our very large living/kitchen/dining room. Done an excellent job, advised us on paint, finished when he said he would and the place looks fab! He is also a pleasure to work with, lovely man.

rogfrancomb Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Really happy with the service provided by Colin Deery - I needed a couple of cat flaps fitting pronto, Colin came out on a Sunday morning fitted the flaps as quoted (very reasonable) and did 4 other odd-jobs for hardly any extra. Highly recommend Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/42339-colin-local-handyman/page/3/#findComment-1190061 Share on other sites More sharing options...
witagh Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Thank Goodness for Colin! I texted him yesterday about a faulty overflow pipe at a flat that we rent and he was over there this morning to sort it out for us (having picked up the keys from the estate agents en route). He?s great - honest, reliable, good value and lovely with it.

intexasatthe moment Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Colin has just sorted out my wooden bike shed which was much in need of putting back together .Same with our side entrance .He was quick and resourceful - always able to find a soloution to a problem ( our neighbour doesn't like to have anything touching his property and this makes securing things difficult ) - cheerful and very reasonable . 07754 691541 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/42339-colin-local-handyman/page/3/#findComment-1218849 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peckhampam Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 A few years ago Colin put up a large area of decking. Last week he maintained it as usual by cleaning, pressure washing and varnishing it. Prompt and reliable as always and decking looking great. I would always recommend Colin for any jobs that need doing, he has never let me down.

Louised83 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Just wanted to write another shout out for brilliant Colin the Handyman - he came to do some work for me on Friday and he was just fantastic. Within a minute of walking into my house he had taken apart my faulty fire alarm to fix (it had just broken that morning and not what he was actually there to do) and this just totally sums him up - totally old school hard working mentality - professional, on time and nothing was too much trouble! I had asked him to put a load of flat pack Ikea together furniture for me - not the most exciting job to do in the hottest weather ever and he just totally cracked on.. in five hours he managed to build four book cases, two massive sofas, a large glass coffee table, smaller side table, an arm chair, a racking unit for my larder - he also broke down all the cardboard and managed to get the waste collected for me (along with my old sofa). Totally exceeded my expectations!Would 110% recommend Colin for all your handyman need - hardworking, trustworthy and just a thoroughly good bloke! His number is tel:07754691541 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/42339-colin-local-handyman/page/3/#findComment-1267612 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom1964 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Just wanted to add a glowing endorsement of Colin's superb handyman services here. We had a number of small-ish jobs needing doing and were looking for someone who could fill the void when a great man we'd used over many years sadly passed away. After searching the forum, we messaged two or three handymen we'd found recommended on here: only Colin replied promptly with his rates and offering times he could do. We needed some flat-pack furniture assembling, a glass bathroom shelf re-fixing and a couple of loose skirting boards made good. Colin did it all within an hour for a very reasonable fee. He was reliable, punctual and very easy to deal with: texting him is the best approach given how busy he is 07754 691 541.

Pk123 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I would also like to recommend Colin as a handyman. Colin came to help me with some odd jobs in my flat and I found him to be a very nice and friendly person who is hardworking, resourceful and reliable. He was also quick to respond to text messages and reasonably priced. I was very happy with the work he did and would definitely use him again.
