Welcome!

Hi. My name's Rob, and I'm a painter, decorator and handyman based in Emmbrook (near Wokingham) in Berkshire.
I spent 20 years in an office job, looking forward to every weekend so I could get on with my list of DIY projects. Then it dawned on me – why not spend the working week doing the work I really enjoy? So now I’m my own boss, running my own business (established 2007), doing what I enjoy, and I love it!

The majority of my business is "domestic", working for private individuals in their homes. However, I also have regular customers in other areas - please click for further information if your enquiry falls into one of these categories:

The aim of this web site is to answer any questions you may have about the type of service I can provide, what I can (and can't) do, and show examples of my work.

I'm usually booked up a month or so in advance (but if you have an urgent job, it's always worth contacting me anyway).

Although I started out on my own as a "sole trader", I now have a small "virtual team".
Some of them run specialist businesses of their own (e.g. plasterers, bricklayers or plumbers), and I call them in to help out on specific jobs or parts of jobs, always under my supervision.
Others are "extra pairs of hands" who I call in on a part-time/occasional basis to help get through the volume of work. Who I call in will depend on the nature of the work and the skills of the person involved, but in all cases I will always be on-site to supervise, unless I have made other specific arrangements with you, the customer, in advance.

This Month's News

Writing this in darkest November in the middle of the worst storms of the year (so far?!?), Spring seems a long way off. However, the diary is pretty much full until the middle of January, and I'm working on a patio quote for the Spring already. Still plenty of time for some decorating etc before then, though...
Apologies to anyone who has been trying to get in touch via the web site or email during the second half of October or beginning of November.
There were a few technical problems, but we seem to have resolved them all now.

What I do

Here are some examples of projects I've completed recently. It's not an exhaustive list of what I can do, but hopefully it gives you an idea of some of the things I'm capable of.
If you want to see examples of my work, click on the item on the list, or click here for my full photo album.

I'll gladly take on:

If it's not on the list, just ask. If I don't have the necessary skills, I'll try to put you in touch with someone who does.

Flexible hours to fit around you – you can even check my handyman diary to see when I’m free!

Fully insured.

References available on request, or you can find one or two references online here. I take great pride in the fact that already almost half of my jobs are repeat business from existing customers, so I must be doing something right!
