I desperately need a holiday. However, I also desperately need to tick off my to-do list many house-related tasks that have been piling up for months. You know how it is… the lightbulb goes out, the tap keeps dripping and the kitchen cupboard doesn’t close properly but is there time to fix these? No. There’s not enough time for everything.
So, I started to look for help to get these house tasks done. This is how I found the Handy Squad, handyman London, a fabulous handyman service with years of experience and covers the whole of London (and some surrounding areas!). While speaking to them, I found out that I could use their services while being away. Imagine going on holiday and then coming back stress-free to a home that is as problem-free as it was when you moved in. Sounds great, right?
The team at the Handy Squad can complete variety of tasks. Whether you need small tasks done, such as painting or pressure washing your patio or need a larger home renovation project done, the Squad can do it for you. You might be thinking that leaving tradesmen in your home to do a large renovation job without you being close by sounds like a nightmare – think again.
As With Love From Lou mentions, “being away from your home when you are having a major home renovation done couldn’t be a better idea.” If you think about it, large home renovations are loud, disruptive and messy, so being away from it all might be the perfect solution.
“What if something goes wrong?” You ask. There is always a solution for everything. As Rachel Bustin recommends, “Why not ask a close friend or neighbour if they can have a look from time to time?” You could also ask the handymen to send you some photos at the end of each day to see how the project or tasks are going.
As the Handy Squad states on their website, the Handy Squad team is polite, professional, fully-insured and CRB checked. “That is the only way they get to wear our uniform!” So, there is nothing to worry about! For some peace of mind, maybe seeing other people’s opinions about the topic would help – check out this discussion on Mumsnet that highlights the pros and cons of having building work done while away on holiday.
