For busy Bristol and Bath residents, this time saving is invaluable.
Proper Tools and Equipment
Our handymen are equipped with professional-grade tools specifically designed for the tasks they perform.

Our coverage extends to most BS and BA postcodes, and we can confirm availability for your specific location when you enquire.

What tasks are beyond your handyman service?
While our handymen are multi-skilled, certain tasks require specialised tradespeople. These include major electrical rewiring, gas fitting, structural alterations, extensive plumbing system changes, and major roofing work. However, we're happy to advise if your task requires a specialist, and we can often coordinate with other tradespeople for comprehensive solutions.
Are you insured?
Yes, we carry comprehensive public liability insurance and professional indemnity cover for all our services. This provides protection and peace of mind for both our clients and our team. We're happy to provide evidence of our insurance coverage upon request.
I recently moved into an old Victorian property in Southville and had a lengthy list of small issues that needed attention – from sticking doors to leaky taps and a wobbly banister. Rather than tackling them one by one myself, I decided to book Fernwood's half-day handyman service. It was genuinely impressive how much they accomplished in just four hours! The handyman arrived punctually, was incredibly knowledgeable about period properties, and worked through my list methodically and efficiently. Every job was completed to a high standard, and he even had time to fix a couple of additional issues he spotted. The flat rate pricing made it easy to budget, and the value for money was excellent considering how many individual tasks were completed. I've already recommended them to several neighbours and will definitely be using them again.
