Found Alan in a local community page.. needed our decking steps making safe.. communication was great.. friendly and personable.. no issues.. happy to work around any possible conundrums found.. really pleased and wouldn’t hesitate to use again or recommend..
Alan has sorted many problems over the last 7 years. He has repaired furniture; renewed fencing and decking; put together flat pack items; and fixed many small household problems. Most of all, he has fixed my bathroom- he replaced all the fittings and a bath panel so it looks like new. Alan is always good humoured and efficient. Prices are always competitive.
Great work, Alan, really pleased with the gutter clearance. Job was completed on time, efficiently and property left nice and clean. Overall, very good value for money!
I used Alan to supply and install a new kitchen extractor hood in my kitchen. Alan was very professional and punctual. He was a tidy worker and left the job immaculate. I have already book Alan for a few other jobs and would happily recommend.
THIS PERSON IS A LIAR! Contacted him several weeks ago for some gardening work which he says he does, told him I was disabled and unable to do it myself. Didn't show up after 5 days phoned him didn't answer, sent text ignored left 1* review obviously saw this and sent message to say he'd been ill with asthma, but noticed 3 new reviews for jobs when he told me he was sick. Never used this person before. Obviously has a thing about DISABLED PEOPLE HE OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF no * Wouldn't have minded if he said he didn't want to cut grass and hedge but couldn't even be bothered to do that. Shame on you, unfortunately have to leave 1* doesn't deserve it
Alan "The Handyman" has been working for my family for three years. Alan provides us with regular seasonal garden services and household maintenance to include plumbing and electrical. Alan has a great "Can do" attitude and will I hope be looking after us for years to come. Byron Danahay

Also replaced extractor fan and 2 lights in the bathroom. Alan did a proper job and I will certainly be using him again. He knew what he was doing and, as important to me, he is a top fella. I have a rented property and have already given his details to my tenant telling him any issues go straight to Alan. A1 service 👌
Alan, top bloke and our new handy man. Great job fitting a new kitchen tap, mess free and has actually improved the tap since we had it first fitted with the water flow. Real genuine bloke and really happy with the service and work carried out.

Alan was easy to work with and constructed a very large flat pack furniture for our downstairs tv room. Did a great job, and very tidy.
Excellent worker. I recently hired Alan to cut some trees on my property, and I couldn’t be more impressed! From the get-go, he was punctual, arriving exactly when he said he would. The job was completed quickly but with an incredible level of attention to detail. He took great care in ensuring everything was done properly, leaving my garden neat and tidy once the work was finished. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for reliable, efficient, and professional tree cutting services. Will definitely be using his services again in the future!
Alan recently did a few odd jobs around our house and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Everything was completed promptly and to a very high standard. As well as the jobs inside, he jet washed our driveway, removed a large amount of waste and debris that had collected at the front, and even took the initiative to clear out the channel drains when he noticed they were too full and could cause problems. Alan is thorough, reliable, and clearly takes pride in his work. Highly recommended!

Alan did an excellent and very professional job installing a drop down cinema screen at a great price and extremely short notice. This was after I had been let down by someone else who didn't even bother turning up wasting a day of my time.

I will certainly be using him again. Thank you Alan.

Alan completed multiple jobs for me today including several that I hadn't booked him in for! Installed cameras, new door handles, a curtain pole, toilet seat, fixed the water tank in the loft and even cleaned the window below. Excellent communication, efficient professional but friendly service, Alan could not have been more helpful. Would highly recommend 👍🏼
Would highly recommend Alan! I got a bit stuck trying to put up a new curtain rail after repainting my bedroom - unfortunately the holes on the brackets didn’t line up with the holes previously drilled for the old curtain rail and I didn’t have a drill. Despite being completely booked up, Alan was kindly able to fit me in very last minute and arrive promptly after me calling him to help me out! I massively appreciate him squeezing me in so last minute and doing a fantastic job - and a really friendly guy to book!
Brilliant service. Professional conduct. I needed a cast down pipe removed and replaced with a plastic pipe. Very competitive price ie others who quoted were three times as much. I can highly recommend and will be certain to use again.
Had The Handyman here all day. He put curtain poles up, put in a rotary washing line, repaired part of the decking and many small jobs just as I asked. Brilliant. He was recommended to me and I would strongly recommend him to anyone else.
Excellent service from Alan installing a wall TV bracket. Prompt service, friendly and top job done

Only a few small jobs, but Alan was reliable, efficient, friendly and did a great job. Will use again. Thank you!
Alan installed our 2 camera security system. He made it seem very easy. He came prepared with all the tools, worked diligently and quickly and got the job done with no fuss. He's also a very nice and affable man, so he's easy to work with. Incidently, he's actually done multiple jobs for us and so I will continue to ask him to do future jobs as well. 5/5!
Will definitely use Alan again-very professional and goes that extra mile too. Thank you for fixing and hanging our kitchen cupboard.

Alan fitted a key safe for one of our vulnerable adults. Professional. Friendly and knowledgeable. Brilliant experience. Will be using again.

Excellent service! I have found Alan very reliable over the past few years. His work is always to a high standard.
Great response time, good communication and perfect for the smaller jobs that the bigger companies don't want. I would recommend Alan everytime.
Alan assembled a flatpack bedside cabinet for me and also put up a Venetian blind in the kitchen which I had incorrectly measured and it was not wide enough. However Alan managed to solve the problem and I have a lovely new blind. Thank you Alan
Alan arrived promptly and fixed 2 curtain tracks in minutes. He then fixed a sink and bath plug. Alan was very friendly and a mine of information. Would highly recommend
Being new to the area I had a problem in trying to find a workman who would be able to fix a bracket which has dropped above my front door causing it difficult to open and shut the door. However I was lucky to find an as advertisement for the Handyman. Alan did an excellent job and would have no hesitation in recommending him. I certainly will be using Alan again when I have a job to be done. Alan Dewey
Alan has been keeping my garden tidy over 5 years now, helping me on numerous jobs as the seasons progress. As usual Alan makes an excellent job in a timely, professional manner. Today he power washed the drive clearing all winter debris, cut the grass and cleared dead leaves. He also cleaned the patio at the back . I am very pleased with the result and now it is ready for spring time.
Thank you Alan, another good job completed. Quick, clean, neat and tidy and at a good price.
Suplied and fitted an outside security light and a mixer tap in our kitchen, great service and a great price, will definitely use Alan again
I used The Handyman Poole for instaling security cameras and light sensors at our property. Alan was very efficient and offered good advice. I will definitely be calling upon him again. Very reasonable price and responded at short notice.
Alan did a few bits for us recently including fixing a curtain pole and installing a new hallway light. He did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend, thanks again!
Alan got his head right into the problems my mother was facing at home. He’s saved me a fortune on carers now that she’s up and running with independent showering and moving between the kitchen and the home with her rollator. Alan has flattened the threshold. She has new confidence. 💯 recommend as a general handyman who can offer solutions to the elderly or other people with mobility issues.
