The whole list, not just the easy bits
If it's a small repair, an odd job, or the kind of thing that's been on the list for months — there's a good chance Useful Hands can sort it. Bigger jobs needing gas or notifiable electrical work are passed to trusted, qualified local trades.
Repairs & odd jobs
Flat-pack assembly, shelves, mirrors, blinds and curtain poles, TV mounting, sticking doors, leaking taps, and the rest of the list.
Painting & decorating
Interior and exterior decorating done properly — careful prep, clean lines, and everything left tidier than we found it.
Home maintenance
Gutters, fences and gates, sealant renewal, seasonal upkeep — the steady jobs that keep a home in good order.
Landlords & lettings
Reliable turnaround and between-tenancy maintenance, with photos, written quotes and prompt invoicing for agents and owners.
A little extra help
Trusted, patient help for older neighbours with the jobs around the house that have become harder to manage alone.
Small business jobs
Minor repairs and maintenance for shops, offices and small commercial spaces around Newbury.
