North Hinksey is a village just west of Oxford, beside Botley and the A34, with older stone cottages around the village centre and newer houses on its edges. It feels rural but is only a few minutes from the city. Cottages call for careful work: fitting curtain poles to old walls, easing doors that have dropped and repainting with finishes that suit older surfaces. In newer homes, typical requests are TV mounting, flat-pack furniture and fixing leaks. A single small job is fine; you do not need to wait until you have a long list.

What local customers say
Mike was great - would highly recommend him and would 100% use him again. He put some blinds up for us and fixed a leaky tap. He was reliable, friendly and did a great job for a fair price.
Thoroughly recommended! Mike efficiently fitted Ikea astroturf tiles to a small patio space, securely wall-mounted a hose reel, dug out an obstinate 24inch stake and mended a fence. He is both skilled and flexible, re-using existing materials where possible, and a pleasure to work with.
