Barry had done some work for me recently. All work was completed to time and within agreed costs and was done really professionally. Within a week, I needed another small job done urgently that I had forgotten about whilst he was there. He came the next day, sorted it within minutes, and didn't charge. I have been recommending Barry to friends and I'm sure I will book him again in future.

My wife and I cannot recommend Barry enough for the quality of his work and his reliability. He had few things to fix around the house including redecorating and carpentry and Barry did an outstanding job with everything, caring as it was his own place.

Pleasant, reliable, good value and a great result. The only reason I wouldn't recommend Handy On The Hill is that I don't want everyone else to book him up before I get all my jobs done!

Barry has helped us a few times and I can't recommend him highly enough. He is a true professional and does each job with attention and precision. I've also found that when an issue has more than one way of solving it, he will choose the best solution, even if it means harder work, rather than an easy fix.

Barry - Excellent service as usual. Brilliant job. Thanks for coming at short notice and staying late to get through everything. Absolute superstar! I would highly recommend Barry to anyone. Over the last two years we have been using Barry I have never been let down and have always been impressed with the standard of his work. He has saved us a fortune, most recently fixing our hard wood flooring in the hallway and kitchen which I thought was unrepairable.

I am very happy with the work Barry carried out at my home. He worked hard from the time he arrived until he left. He is very pleasant and his work is carried out with care. He arrived promptly for all appointments.

My earlier review should have read that Barry was extremely promp, helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Please ignore my earlier review.

Barry was great - organised the job really well, turned up on time, brought all the tools, repaired this fiddly job brilliantly, so no one could even see the door frame had ever been broken. Even my father in law was impressed and that is saying something. Thanks so much - I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him. I will be using him again, for sure.

I have used Handy on the Hill for a number of jobs over the past couple of years, installing a kitchen tap, fixing a stuck sash window, fitting curtain rails, resealing in bathroom. On each occasion Barry has arrived punctually, been very polite, worked efficiently showing attention to detail, and has cleaned up after the job. His work has always been performed to a very high standard and I would certainly recommend him.

We've been using Barry for a couple of years now and have recommended him to our neighbours too. He's a whizz with child proofing, and can turn his hand to anything we ask for both indoors and the garden. He's also done a couple of carpentry jobs for us and it's always quality work. I always book him for the day and just leave him a list. I know i can trust him, that he will do a great job and that he will leave the house spick and span.

Always very happy to recommend Barry. We've been using him for years now. The quality of work is very good. He is also contentious, thorough, tidy, fair and considerate, as well as a pleasure to have in the house.
