Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy


Crack

Recommended Posts

Can't recommend Andy aka Andyman enough. He's a great find for anyone looking for a handyman to do any kind of job. In my case he came and dismantled a wardrobe and some bathroom furniture, carrying it all downstairs. He also came to my rescue at short notice when I had an emergency issue with my front door.


I'll be calling on Andy again to plumb/fit a new loo and basin in the bathroom as he seems to be able to lay his hands to most things.


And most importantly - he is reliable - if he says he is going to do a job - he will show up and do it (and go the extra mile). This is not always the case.

Another recommendation for Andy. He did some odd jobs for us a few years ago and was clean, tidy & reliable. When I was looking for a kitchen fitter, I gave him a call and his quote was very reasonable.


Andy, along with his helpful team did everything to fit our new kitchen; including ripping out the old one, plastering, painting, fitting the kitchen, plumbing and sealing it all. Andy also recommended an electrician to do all the electrics who was equally as reliable and reasonably priced.


Andy was clean and tidy throughout with minimal disruption, as he made sure we always had at least a fridge plugged in!he was friendly and kept me updated on the progress.


Will certainly be asking for his help again in the future.

Thanks again Andy.

We would like to strongly recommend Andy (along with so many other extremely satisfied customers on this forum). His company is called Andyman services and we have seen other threads (eg. Handyman recommended ?.. Andy/ Recommendations for Handyman needed) where customers have posted very positive reviews about him.


Andy has completed other jobs for us in the past, including painting and decorating and bathroom works.


Today he has just given our shower room a makeover and it looks fantastic! He removed old silicone and replaced it. He also sorted out a leaking shower tray and renovated a sink and shower head.


Andy cares about the work and was keen to ensure that the various jobs were completed to our satisfaction. We were impressed by the way he tidied up as he went along. He also left the area he was working in looking immaculate at the end of each day.


Andy is helpful - offering advice and tips about how best to maintain the works in the future. He is reliable and professional and we are extremely happy to recommend him!

I also highly recommend Andy / Andyman services!


He quoted for a day's worth of jobs that needed doing following our move into the property. I was impressed by his reliable and clear communication, general approachability, taking his time to listen, attention to detail, and ability to explain how and why he would do each job, including:

- draught proofing the front door/letterbox

- resealing the shower

- fitting a toilet seat which i would normally do myself but couldn't as it was boxed in

- fitting a curtain rail

- sanding/planing the base of a bedroom door so it would shut properly

- fixing door knobs

- fitting a Roman blind in the bathroom


Andy left the place extremely clean and tidy and clearly takes care in the word he completes. Will definitely be booking him in again for handyman jobs in future. Highly recommended - Andy 07564 194 363


thank you!

I have recommended Andy before and am recommending him again! There were a few external and severe leaking pipes at the side of our property. Andy carried out the necessary repairs thoroughly and quickly without any complication. His reliability and communication is flawless.

Highly recommend Andy who painted our living room and installed some skirting board. Andy was reliable, communicated everything, and went out of his way to fit around our work schedules. Delightful tradesperson to have around - friendly, considerate and tidy.

After finding Andy details on this forum I hired him to replace an outdoor vent.

After being so

Impressed by his punctuality and communication I asked him for a quote and he has just finished decorating my 2 bedroom flat from skirting to ceiling

I highly recommend Andy he has painted my property as if it was his own

He even took time out of his busy day to fix wonky shelves / chairs for me even though I didnt ask him

He has been a godsend, polite , hardworking and most importantly

Honest

I can?t recommend him enough

Another recommendation for Andy. Asked him back again to carry out some repairs, including replacing door threshold strips and a bathroom sink tap.


As ever, he is punctual, perfect communication and gets the job done within given timeframe. Cannot fault him or his work.

I can endorse other recommendations on this forum for Andy - 07564 194363. Am selling my house and booked Andy at fairly short notice to regrout the grotty bathroom shower unit in time for the estate agent's photos. He worked over the weekend and finished just as the photographer arrived! Thanks, Andy

Hello


Another recommendation for Andy - Andy came over to our place in West Norwood to stop cold air getting in between the glazed bay and timber floor. He listened very well to what we were asking for, and did a very neat and great job.


In the lead up to the job, he was very good at communicating with us, recommended and even helped us learn a bit more about the kinds of products we needed to buy well in advance of the appointment, and the correct price for these. On the day it turned out that after all there was some better stuff yet, and he kindly went out to bring it to use. There was a bit of time where he had to wait for me to return home, and during that time he vacuumed the floor and dusted behind the fridge!


Thank you very much, Andy! We look forward to seeing you next time! Sasha & Adrian

Recommendation for Andy who re did the silicone in my shower this week. He did a great job, cleaned and hoovered everywhere he?d been working, gave me some tips for maintaining the silicone for longer and also fixed the sticky plug in the sink. I have asked him to come back to do some more work for me.

Based on EDF reviews, we asked Andy to sort out a tricky, messy, gap around a large roof light that needed filling in. He took a great deal of care to find the most appropriate solution, which involved a couple of visits instead of doing a rush job. He wanted to get it right. It was worth it. Happy customer and happy to recommend.

Andy was round today to deal with a variety of jobs including replacing the sealant around my kitchen sink, cutting down a 20 ft yucca plant and lots of ivy growth, repairing a lock on a window, replacing a shower spray and filling some holes under the back door. He was very user friendly and courteous. Would recommend.

Andy did a really great job fixing a number of things that needed fixing in my house including my garden fence and bath panel. He also helped put up pictures and curtains. Was really impressed with Andy?s work, he was also very reliable and I would definitely use him again.

We have just used Andy for a verity of jobs (inc cutting down an over massively over grown hedge, putting up shelfs and pictures and building a TV cabinet).. All the work was completed to a good standard, he was polite and was a very reasonable rate. Highly recommended.

Another recommendation for Andy.


He has helped me out, often at very short notice, on a number of occasions now. As others have said, he has always been excellent in his communication, his thoughtfulness and the quality of his work (often going above and beyond the specific items we had agreed), and the reasonableness of his prices. And a great bloke to top it off! Thanks Andy!!

    • A repetitive tried and tested cycle that seems to be slowing down in London thankfully. Brixton was the start. Councils consciously and purposely let an area decline until that area is next on the list for social and ethnic cleansing and ultimately gentrification. In come the first wave of arty/ creatives to squat and house share. A few coffee shops and cool but inexpensive cafe/ bars and art spaces open up. The crackheads, dealers and other assorted criminals who were once left to operate openly and brazenly to sell, shop lift, mug, beg, purchase,  publicly consume on decent folks doorsteps, stairwells,in bin sheds and without fear of the law begin to be targeted, rounded up and moved on. A few more jaunty and sustainable coffee shops/ bars appear . The Guardian and other facilitators in the media jump on the bandwagon, first claims of vibrancy are rolled out. Next step a few cool retro clothing shops pop up selling ' reclaimed Levi's for more than they originally cost and ten times the price of what the recently departed charity shop charged. Foxtons open a branch and the arty types and first wavers/ drivers have there first moan about there initially paltry rents going up. The guardian do a generic lets move to Brixton, Dalston, Hackney, Deptford, Walthamstow type double pager. Interview a graphic designer or two who have just bought a former crack den on the manor for next to peanuts. They will later bemoan the next wave who have more money than them. Cool, edgy and vibrant are now the buzzword bingo must use lingo. Few more coffee shops ( how original ) Pop up everything,. Organic and sour dough move in. The night time economy starts to thrive, more cool bars and eateries open. More squats and the last crack house that was once one of many are cleared out. Second wave is around the corner.   All of a sudden there's a visible police presence again and the streets are safe for fun seekers with plenty of disposable cash to chuck about on a dose of vibrancy with added coolness. By this stage even the locally brewed beer is organic. There's queues outside the newly arrived organic, sourdough, artisan and sustainable bakers. Instagram has Brixton trending. The greasy spoon of thirty year has gone cause the lease is up and the landlord has hiked the rents up by 60/70%. Followed by small family run independents that served the community  for decades and more.  The local characters, activists, eccentrics are getting less and less. There's a new show in town for a week or two and until the next brand arrives. Brewdog move in. Former job centres are converted into bars but peak edginess means it's still called the job centre. Followed by a couple more chain eateries. The resident DJ'S and music venues are replaced by another generic brand boasting guest chefs. The Guardian lifestyle section is now on it's fifth or sixth orgasm. Turn a few pages and hypocrisy is rampant with articles on the evils of gentrification, foxtons, capitalism, social cleansing and unaffordable housing. The middle classes continue to arrive in there droves to buy into the vibrancy and multiculturalism supposedly on offer. There isn't much multiculturalism going on at the packed latest place to eat, drink and fart. The multiculturalism on show comes in the form of bar staff, doorman and cheap as chips uber drivers and delivery workers. Rice and peas, jerk everything, red stripe at six quid a can from some hipster haunt that is currently flavour of the month and the place to be seen. The first wavers are now blaming the latest hedge funded brand that's pulled into town for driving gentrification and there soon to be hastened departure to be first wavers again somewhere else. Less cool but up and coming here we come. Covid has certainly helped/ been a factor in slowing down the process of gentrification. I also think it may be the driver for almost putting a stop to it. Remote working, less need to move to London to be near an office, less disposable cash, sky high rents, worthless degrees that relied on that disposable cash , different priorities, knife and gang crime and a large dose of much needed realism has put a huge spanner in the works for the shitty process and cycle that is/ was the gentrification and social cleansing of working class London. Manchester and Liverpool is next on the list for the planners. Thankfully.
    • Can you just queue up to withdraw cash or are other transactions like stamp purchasing required?  Do M&S do cash back?
    • Or don't stop using cash. Stop using your phone or even your watch as a banknote. At the same time avoid the risk of having your card cloned at cash points, by hand held card readers, oyster readers and point-of sale terminals to name a few. God only knows how much damage we're doing to the planet because all the above must require a hell of a lot of resources and juice from the grid. It won't happen though. I know of quite a few people who deem carrying cash about as a pain/ chore. But not a big lump of plastic with a screen and full of personal information that can be easily gleamed. I feel the same about carrying a phone about so i don't most of the time. I'll be in the minority but certainly don't see or treat a phone as a necessity.  You can't get a banknote out of your sky rocket with a phone in your hand. It's become a source of dopamine for many. It's an addiction for many. They're an easy target for thieves. They're a godsend to cyber fraudsters who are stealing billions and are doing so without the need of cash points.
