Looking to start up on my own, is this something you guys would use? Local area ideally as I've had people wanting me to go miles just for a little job which would cost more in fuel than the actual job. |

Friend of ours does this around cardiff, has a few guys working for him now and they pick up on the small jobs that don't quite justify a dedicated plumber/ builder etc to do.
As the guy above said people just don't know how to do things anymore, some of the stuff he's told me people call for; light bulb changing, putting up a washing line, cleaning the filter in a washing machine, the door squeaks. Small stuff he'll only do locally unless there's a group of things they can sort in one visit to make it worthwhile.
Pretty much all of his clients are word of mouth and repeat customers, a mix of the elderly and young office workers that just don't have any practical hand skills. Taking stuff to the skip seems to be a good earner for him too.
Good luck with it |
