Customer reviews for this trader
John came out the same afternoon I contacted him to fit my new bathroom blind. John did an excellent job and arrived on time. Was professional and the price charged very reasonable. Will definitely be contacting John again.
Good job done, very tidy worker. Definitely recommended.
I got John to clear my house roof gutters and he did an excellent job and kept everywhere very clean and tidy.
Used John before and would use again. Got back to me straightaway, came same day to do several jobs around the house, fair price for sorting out some proper problems. He went to find the parts he needed and came straight back- advised on a couple of other jobs too. Very trustworthy- I paid him accidentally last week by bank transfer, instead of another company. He contacted me as I was completely unaware, and paid me back to my account.
Our main task was for someone clear our guttering which John performed very well. He was punctual, very professional and obviously extremely knowledgeable about many aspects of household issues. We also appreciated his advice on several other of our on-going problems here. We will definitely employ him again - highly recommended.
Reroofed summer house. Excellent job all round. Recommended
John responded to my requests promptly and professionally and turned up exactly when he said he would. The work was completed without fuss and John made an excellent job of clearing up after himself. I have no hesitation in recommending John and would use him again with confidence.
Was very impressed with John. He made sure dust etc was kept in one place. He was very pleasant and got straight down to the jobs I wanted doing. I would certainly recommend him to friends and have him back to do more jobs.
John the Handyman came to dismantle a very large climbing wall made of wood and many, many screws in my garage. He worked tirelessly to dismantle this climbing wall removing every piece and taking it away with him. John was punctual, hard working, respectful and friendly. I would recommend him to anyone needing help around their property.
John fitted me a new stair rail, did a brilliant job, very happy lovely bloke
John came out the same day that I contacted him and carried out the work quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend john as he is a true craftsman and his prices are more than fair.
John was a pleasure to employ. Reliable, organised, efficient, knowledgeable and trustworthy. He did a great job helping to design and install a large shelving unit as well as other smaller joinery tasks. I would highly recommend him.
Very quick, efficient, honest and friendly, good job done.
John was a pleasure to deal with. Very knowledgeable and efficient and a true gentleman. A pleasure doing business with you. I would definitely use again.
John came the same day that I contacted him. He did an excellent job of installing 3 curtain rails. There was no mess at all. I would highly recommend John as he's an excellent workman. Thank you john.
John did a brilliant job fitting a new paling fence. He's done lots of handyman jobs for me over the years and I've always found him very reliable.
*Customer Feedback* Required new felt on shed roof. After being complemented on the workmanship of the existing felt I left John to proceed with the job and went to work. I expected to find the overlapping edges of the felt to be all the same length, instead all three lengths were out of line. I expected the felt tacks to have been hammered in a uniform or straight line. Instead they are out of line and unevenly spaced. Not impressed and on top of that the roof still leaks!! I shall not be using this individual again. Ironically he complemented the old work and left me with a very unsightly finish. *Traders Reply* Customer has an old pent shed that had been re-felted 3 times already. The roof has rotted away at the lower edge. I suggested that she needed a new roof or a new shed. She did not want that expense and asked that I simply fit new felt 'as best as I can'. I said I would fit the new felt creating a drip edge of 1 cm below the roof timbers to keep the walls dry which had not been done previously causing the rot . I said she would also need side fascia boards to secure the felt edge and hide the tacks. Customer did not want fascias fitted, so I nailed in considerably more tacks than usual to mitigate the lack of the fascias. The roof edge timbers were soft in places so I had to fix extra tacks to where the timber was firmer, hence the uneven spacing. The felt on the top of the shed was generously overlapped and sealed beneath the joins with pitch-based felt lap adhesive and tacked every 80 to 100 mm along all the joints. It does not leak. Please read my 179 previous positive reviews. Thank you, John the Handyman
John was a very nice polite man. Arrived on time, early. Repaired torn felt on my summer house. Worked well, cleared up well after making a good job, even took photos to show me what he had done on the roof. Was not over charged, will definitely use him again.
Used John several times. Always reliable, conscientious, and pleasant. Works hard, removes all mess and knows what he is doing. I am retired and disabled and can highly recommend John for any of your works needed.
I made an appointment for John the Builder to look at a job; when he arrived he was actually able to do the job there and then. The job was to remove a damaged coal house door and fit a replacement. It was not a straightforward job, but all difficulties were overcome and job completed in quick time to my exacting standards. I shall certainly use John the Builder again.
Excellent service, very pleased with the work.
John was very reliable, he phoned me back when he said he would and turned up to do the job on time. John removed and replaced a rotten wooden fence post which was extremely tricky to remove but completed the job without any fuss.
He was on time. Did the job quickly and no mess after shaving the bottom off a door. Something we couldn't manage ourselves.
John came promptly in response to my request, and as in the past, gave an efficient service, he is always reliable.

I needed a few jobs doing around the house including putting up some extremely heavy, carved wooden mirrors. At first it looked as if the mirrors would be too heavy, but John was able to find a solution that worked. I'd never seen as many reviews for someone on Trusted Trader, but having met John, I understand why. He is very efficient and did a great job. I would certainly contact him again for any further jobs and would recommend him to friends.
John gave excellent service. He is very professional and personable. He came the day after I called him and made a very good job of cleaning my guttering, including a very hard to reach section of guttering on the far side of an outbuilding, He also did a brilliant job of replacing new fascia's for a shed. I will definitely use him again and have no hesitation in recommending him.
John the Handyman was very good and tidy. He was also very prompt and honest. Will definitely use him again.

John arrived on time, quickly identified the problem with the guttering and sorted it out. PS Only contacted John the previous afternoon and he arrived the following morning. Good old fashioned service which is hard to find these days. Will definitely call John in the future and fully recommend this gentleman.
I have never met John but I write this comment as a very satisfied customer. My entry into hospital for surgery after an accident posed potential mobility problems for me when I returned home but John's skill and flexibility ensured my rehabilitation was unhindered. He fitted two stair hand rails in double quick time and with first rate skill at a very fair price to help me avoid a very stressful, and possibly very expensive, alternative. More importantly, he has enabled me to continue my recuperation in near-normal circumstances - a huge psychological bonus. I rate the quality of his work very highly. The only problem is that I think my wife is in love with him, so delighted is she with the result!!
Responded very well to my problem and it was resolved very quickly. Highly recommended.
Very quick response to my call for help. Very solid repair to broken loft door. No mess. Good price. I would recommend and have kept details so I can use again in the future.
Very helpful service at a reasonable cost.
John came and emptied our gutters very promptly, did the job well, swept up after himself. Good reasonable price. Would use again.
Phoned John and within 2 hrs he replied. He was local and called round 15 mins later. He assessed the problem with the guttering left to get new parts and the job was complete within 30 mins. John was pleasant and approachable and charged a fair price. Will definitely use again.
I have used John before, but on this occasion I needed him for my elderly neighbour whose gutters were blocked and causing rain to come under her back door. I contacted John at 9am and he said he would come out as soon after 3pm as possible, he arrived as promised around 3.45pm and completed the job in around 40mins. I would definitely recommend him and obviously use him again.
John the Handyman was so polite, did an excellent job, would recommend him to anyone.
Excellent service. A very prompt response, high quality work, efficiently done and with a polite and friendly manner. Would definitely recommend John to anyone looking for a handyman.
John is brilliant. I phoned him on Monday afternoon and within 1/2hr he came out and measured up to put an additional handrail on the staircase. The next day Tuesday he went and bought the items needed from one of the builder suppliers in Chesterfield and returned and fitted the handrail. He was extremely tidy and kept cleaning up after ach drilling/fixing etc. He also checked with us before doing the next part of the work. John was very polite and we were thrilled with his work and the price. So within 24hrs we went from no additional stair rail to one that was fitted and could be used immediately. I am more than happy to recommend John and I shall be using him again in the future.
John came the next day. He was very efficient and professional. I was very happy with the work carried out and the price was very reasonable. Got the job done in no time. I will definitely call him again soon.

The door between my lounge and kitchen was jammed shut because the mechanism inside the handle had broken. It's often difficult to get people to come out for small jobs but I left a message for John and he rang back soon after and arranged to come out later this afternoon. He arrived when he said he would and managed to get the door open without damaging it, he replaced the mechanism and put the original handles back on. He was friendly, polite and efficient and respected my home. I was pleasantly surprised at what he charged, I expected it to be much more! Overall a great job, I'll certainly keep his number for the future and won't hesitate to recommend him to friends.
First class service. John was prompt on arrival, and did a thoroughly professional job of clearing our gutters and replacing several of the support brackets. This is the first time that we have requested John's services, but he would be the first person we would call upon should we need similar, or other services again.

John came out at very short notice and could not have been more helpful. He really put himself out to solve our plumbing problem. Highly recommended.
Excellent service as always.
John was very professional and told me the price before he arrived. I was really pleased with his work of cleaning my gutters and would have him back anytime for other work I needed doing. Thanks john.
I thought the job would be too small for a tradesman and that I would struggle to get someone to do it. However, the day after asking John if he could fix my door, the job was done. Arrived on time, very efficient, job well done and as an added extra he was a really lovely friendly man. Wish there were more like him. Highly recommend.
John came the same day I phoned. He fixed my gate that needed adjusting. My gutters had come adrift in two places, where they joined the down pipes, and a piece was missing. John went to fetch the piece of guttering needed and then mended both gutters. While he was there, he cleared leaves out. He tidied up after himself and charged a very reasonable rate for his work. I am very glad I contacted him.
Not many like John left, very polite and actually turned up to provide a quote when I first phoned to enquire. More than happy with the two gates that he made and fitted for me and the price charged for the work. Very professional, friendly and a high standard of work. Will definitely use again and recommend to others.
Excellent service from John, phoned straight back when I left a message and came round to do the job next day. Only a small job, but we had previously been let down by two others. Would definitely recommend John and would happily use his services again.
We have again used John's services and are pleased with the standard of his work. He arrives at the time agreed and works neatly, and is polite and pleasant to deal with.

He made me a set of gates and what he charged was a lot less than other quotes, honest workmen are hard to find these days. His workmanship is top grade.
I rang John re some repairs I needed doing outdoors. He came the same day, looked at what needed doing and gave me a price which I accepted. He had to order some materials which arrived the following day and he came that same day and did me the work. He was very prompt, pleasant and polite and I am very satisfied with the work he did. I will definitely use John again. He is a real find.
John repaired a broken gate for us. He was really quick and efficient and helped us re-use as much of the broken gate as possible, rather than an expensive replacement.

My decision to use John was purely based on his Trusted Trader feedback. Thank you for your help.

This is the second time we have used John's services. On both occasions we have found him to be very professional, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. We would not hesitate to recommend John to anyone who requires work done in or around property. On his visit today he tackled two quite different jobs. One regarding a water leak under a double glazed door, the other some repairs to a wardrobe unit. Both jobs assessed and carried out swiftly with great skill. After our original phone call John contacted us to confirm the time and date of his visit to carry out the work and turned up on time. Absolutely first class in every way.

John fitted guttering and water butts to our shed as well as air vents to prevent condensation. He also made and fitted a new door for our gas meter cupboard. The work was completed quickly, efficiently and professionally for a fair price despite the cold, windy weather and he went above and beyond what was asked. We would definitely use him again and would recommend him without hesitation.
John came to see us today in response to our request to do several small jobs. He was prompt, polite and considered. He gave advice on two jobs that he was unable to do as they needed replacements, and then advised on how we could do the other two jobs ourselves quite easily as he felt they didn't require his skills. He made no charge for his time or his advice. Thank you John. We'll be sure to call you when needed in the future.

John was excellent, very clean worker, no mess! wanted a fire place hanging on wall, he wasn't long and charged me a fair price, definitely use again!
John was quick, efficient, pleasant and prompt. I found he gave me great confidence in him and would certainly have him again. Really pleased with the new door he made and new crossbar over the fence.
Excellent work. Well executed. Tidy. He remade a rotten gate and fitted new one back in place. Pleasant demeanour. Efficient.
We have used John the Handyman on many occasions because we are always so pleased with his work. He has many skills which are always of the highest standard. Would definitely recommend.
Asked John about my chimney while passing him on pavement, he promptly gave me a quote the same day for removing the weeds on my bungalow chimney stack, came and did the job the following day at a good price and wearing his mask, recommending it to be rebuilt in the summer, unfortunately John is unable to do that job. Very pleasant and helpful man.
From initial phone call to completion John was very polite and understanding. Punctual on arrival, explained charges and did a first class job. Will definitely use again.
John was fantastic. He was reliable, did a few different jobs for me and was very good indeed. Took care of everything. Very fair price too. Would definitely recommend him and will be booking him again. Five star service.
We have had John several times. He has always done a good job and is reliable. He goes the extra mile. He has always worn a mask since the Covid outbreak so has looked after our health also.
As always, thoroughly satisfied with the work that John did. We can't recommend him highly enough.
Excellent work.
Would recommend John without hesitation. Left him a message and he rang back the same day. Arranged to visit 2 days later and did loads of small jobs with friendly efficiency and at a very reasonable price. Would definitely use again.
