Handyman near me in Gloucestershire

If you have typed handyman near me, you probably have a list rather than one job: a dripping tap, silicone that has gone black, a door that will not shut, two shelves and a wardrobe still in its box. We take that list, tell you honestly what is handyman work and what needs a specialist, then book a half-day or full-day slot at a fixed price.

Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm. Quotes are free and without obligation, and we aim to reply within 24 hours.

Who is actually turning up

Cotswold Maintenance Group is a bathroom and plumbing firm based at 37 Boundary Place, Gloucester. Bathrooms are the core of the business: design, installation, fitting, wet rooms, showers and tiling. Alongside that we run general plumbing, property maintenance, kitchen fitting and handyman work for the same customers and the same area.

That matters for a small-jobs visit. The person renewing your sealant sets out tile layouts for a living, and the person swapping your tap replumbs bathrooms. You are not booking whoever answered first on an odd-job listings app.

The small jobs we genuinely take on

This is the honest list, not everything a handyman page could claim. It follows the trades we work in every day: plumbing, tiling, sealant, joinery and finishing.

Water and waste

  • Tap replacements and dripping taps
  • Leak repairs and leak detection
  • Toilet replacements and running toilets
  • Kitchen sink plumbing and waste connections
  • Water pressure troubleshooting

Sealant, tiling and finishing

  • Cutting out blackened silicone and re-sealing baths, showers and worktops
  • Small tiling repairs and replacing cracked tiles
  • Grout renewal in showers and splashbacks
  • Filling, making good and finishing after a repair

Doors, shelves and fixings

  • Sticking, dropping or rubbing doors, hinges and strike plates
  • Flat-pack wardrobes, beds and units built and shimmed square
  • Shelving put up and levelled
  • Heavy items fixed safely: TVs, mirrors, kitchen wall units

Fixtures and upkeep

  • Bathroom fixtures swapped: showers, screens, rails, accessories
  • Small joinery repairs, including floorboards damaged by a leak
  • Landlord snagging lists between tenancies
  • Batched repair lists for owner-occupiers

What we will turn down

A handyman who says yes to everything costs you more in the end. These are the jobs we will tell you to book elsewhere.

Gas appliances

We are not a gas company. Boilers, gas fires, gas cookers and anything on the gas supply are not work we take on, and we will say so rather than have a go.

Notifiable electrical work

On bathroom projects electrics are handled through a Part P electrician, not as a handyman job. We do not treat consumer units or new circuits as odd-job work.

Ten-minute call-outs

Our minimum visit is half a day. A single five-minute job on its own is poor value for you, so we would rather you batched it with three or four others.

Why book us rather than a listings app

A skilled tradesperson, not a general labourer

The same team that fits full bathrooms does the small jobs. Plumbing, tiling, joinery and finishing all sit under one contact, so a leaking waste that has rotted a floorboard is one visit and one bill.

Insured and used to occupied homes

Dust sheets down, shoes off, tidy site at the end of the day. We work in lived-in houses and rented flats every week.

Fixed written quote, even on small jobs

Each job is priced individually so you can green-light some and defer others. The price quoted is the price you pay unless you add work.

Honest about the boundary

We tell you plainly which items on your list are handyman work and which need a specialist. That is the part the listings apps cannot do for you.

How booking and pricing work

  1. 1

    Send the list

    Text or email the jobs, with photos where you can. Photos mean we arrive with the right fixings first time.

  2. 2

    We sort it into handyman and specialist

    You get told plainly which items we will do on the visit and which need a different trade.

  3. 3

    Fixed price, half day or full day

    Each job is priced individually and the visit is booked as a half-day or full-day slot. You know the cost before we arrive.

  4. 4

    On site, in order

    We work down the list. If something turns out bigger than it looked, we agree it with you before carrying on.

  5. 5

    Walk round and clear up

    We show you each job, test anything that moves, sheet up and vacuum before we leave. Landlords can have before and after photos for their records.

Quotes are free and without obligation, and there are no hidden costs. If something unexpected turns up behind a panel, we tell you straight away and agree the cost before going further.
