About Elephant Handyman Service

---

Elephant Handyman Service draws on over ten years of experience in construction, combined with five years of carpentry and joinery. Multiply that by a conscientious, calm and diligent approach to work and the result is a great experience all round. Embracing the problem is the first step to the solution, and respecting the customer is the first step to improving their living environment.

The business has a varied history, I have worked on major projects extending houses, converting lofts and garages. This has given me a good understanding of how household construction should be, and some of the shortcuts builders take that later become problems. I have been trained on site, by experience and by other tradesmen. I can build stud-work, dry line, plaster/render/bond, construct flooring timber-work, install door frames and doors, skirting and architrave, insulate, dig foundations, and cut in roofing timbers.

Out of all these hard tasks, carpentry, joinery and creative woodworking became Elephant's main focus. Working on bespoke furniture, cabinet construction, kitchens, furniture repair and even a brief spell making wooden jewelry. I began to enjoy plastering, and gained very basic electrical and plumbing skills, moving plugs, wiring in new lights, fixing minor leaks and damaged pipes, replacing taps.
