Mayday Derby Handyman Services

Excellent service from start to finish! The handyman arrived on time, explained the work clearly, and handled multiple repairs around my home with great attention to detail. The pricing was fair, and the quality of work exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be using their services again in the future.

When I first met Andris he appeared professional & polite. However, over time he became less punctual, overworked, stressed & overtired during the time he worked for me. Some of his work was ok, but his prices started to escalate & his work was disorganised & slowed right down. I had a verbal agreement for fences for £400. However the job remained the same & the prices increased daily to £400, £500, £600, £700. Extremely overpriced work, no experience in fence installation or gates. 9 fences installed, 4 correctly, 5 installed upside down, 2 fences cut & will need replacing, when repositioned correctly. Massive gap in fence, fence not on boundaries as stated, dog escaped. Had a very disastrous tile installation for a small kitchen, complete chaos, like an episode of carry on building or faulty towers!!!! Andris wanted to charge £250 a day, £2500 for 2 weeks. Job should only take one and a half days. Professional tiler stated it should only cost £400. Andris is charging £700. Charged £100 to clear less than 2 meters of guttering. Charged £350 for a meter and a half of skirting boards. Put tiles on top of tiles, could not get out the back door, door jammed, had to unscrew door off to get out & receive delivery & installation of washing machine, fridge freezer. Completly blocked entry full of equipment. Nightmare job, wasn’t sure if the tiles had set! Loads of damage to brick wall from installing gate. Kitchen cabinets look good but scratched glass on front of cupboard, scratched new washing machine, dented & scratched new fridge freezer. Uneven strip finish, drop floor on tiles, strip awful, trip risk, Dad fell, friend slipped. Charging £250 a day, turned up at 10.30-11, 11.30, had 2 hour breaks, left at 17.30-18.00. Spent £2810, loads of damage & mistakes on building work, currently going to court for refund, repairs, damage compensation, currently not paid Andris for last comedy tile job. Awaiting court action. The prices got more expensive, no quotes, no invoices, Andris wanted to sort out fences & put the 4 correct ones upside down! Fences still not corrected, damaged next door neighbours wall, not replaced broken bricks, terrible service, feel ripped off! Beware no verbal quotes, no invoices just massive bills at the end of projects. Damaged property, mistakes remain unresolved….. A couple of jobs were ok, the sign outside my house & the fire place. Feel very disappointed, where are all the honest, hardworking, professional handymen. Andris also cancelled work 3 times & turned up injured twice & struggled to perform his job. One good thing was that my Dad was really ill & really helped me when I needed first aid & the emergency services.

I contacted Andris about installing a couple of hand rail kits I had ordered for my mum's stairs. He was very flexible when arranging a time and turned up exactly at the time agreed upon. In terms of the work itself, I was extremely impressed by his work ethic and attention to detail. He understood exactly how to use the kit and knew the regulation height that the hand rails needed to be installed at, something that hadn't even crossed my mind. He even checked that the screws and fixings sent with the kit were of a sufficient quality to be used. He checked in with me during the work to see if I was happy with the placing of each of the hand rails. I was very pleased with the result of his work which was top quality and very clean and tidy. I would definitely contact Andris for further jobs and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone else.

This Handyman ,is Good !!! He came, when he said he would. Sent text to say ,he's on his way. He explained the job thoroughly as to what is required. He even , made safe the door hinge, before leaving. For that, alone, I would recommend him to others.

Super all round. Andris was professional from start to finish and did an excellent job. He works extremely hard and is very thorough, taking pride in his work, and with a clear focus in customer experience. I asked him to help prepare my house for sale: preparing, making good and painting walls; boxing-in pipework; tidying up kitchen units that I had knocked about (including replacing socket); and fixing the bath panel. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Andris has now done work for me on two occasions in the past six weeks. His work is absolutely first class and his attention to detail is exemplary. He not only does a thorough and professional job, he turns up on time and does a full day’s work and thoroughly cleans up after he has finished. I have no problem of highly recommending Andris if you need any type of work done at your home.

Andris has worked tirelessly to prepare and fit the floor and skirting boards in my kitchen/diner. His work is impeccable and to an amazing standard. He also removed a radiator for me and drained the system which needed sorting out....his skills, knowledge and workmanship are without limit. I cannot recommend this genuine, hardworking man enough. I've booked him again to decorate for me in a few months and no doubt more projects in the future. He turns up when he says he will, cleans up after himself and keeps you updated every step of the way. An extremely trustworthy guy and who takes pride in his work. Thank you Andris.
