""Hired to fix a section of damaged flooring that had collapsed. They were very prompt doing the work just one day after calling and were quick to get the work done. While not the cheapest, I can recommend them if you need work done quickly.""

— Michael Biggins, Horfield

★★★★★

""These guys are experts! Very professional and fast work redoing my bathroom floor and tiles. They were able to easily identify unexpected extra problems (a leaking toilet and rotted floors) and fix those too... They came up with a creative solution to fixing a rotary shelf and cupboard door in my kitchen that two previous handymen had been unable to fix... I would definitely hire again.""

— Sienna Parulis-Cook, Clifton

★★★★★

""Brilliant service. After being let down by another handyman company, I contacted the bristol handyman team. Replied straight away and fitted in within 4 days. Jobs done within 2 hours and polite and professional and friendly. Highly recommended ""

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have hired Hosein for a couple of jobs now, including repairing a damp wall and re-grouting our bathroom, and we have been super pleased with his services. What we love most is that we can trust that Hosein will quote us a reasonable and fair price for the work, show up when he said he will, and then crack on with the job without fuss or complications and to a high standard. I work from home and have a lot of meetings, and this has been no problem for Hosein as he is able to get on with the work independently. On top of this, we have also found Hosein to be very friendly and adaptable; he is totally open to questions and is understanding of changes to plans, maintaining a positive attitude towards the work throughout. He is straightforward and logical in his thinking and communication, which also helps make even complex jobs feel totally manageable and simple. We have really appreciated having him around to take these jobs off our hands, and we plan to hire him for quite a few more things in the future. We recommend him!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hosein and his team helped refurbish the new house we purchased which required a lot of work - replastering, rendering and repainting all the indoor/outdoor walls, fixed some broken cabinets and retiling a wall. He was quick to respond to our initial enquiry, coming over to the house on the same day to provide a competitive quote, and very quickly started work 1 week later. We appreciated all his hard work and time, including coming in on Saturdays to complete the job. We were also able to trust his team and left our keys with them when we were not at home during the day. Would highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hosein worked quickly and professionally on our house. We required painting to all interior walls and the installation of laminate flooring, which took him only around 10 days to complete everything. We cannot fault the quality of his work and if you have an issue,  he is quick to rectify it.

Owner's reply
Dear Stephanie, Apologies for such a late response to your kind words about us. We are delighted that you were so pleased with our work. We look forward to being of service to you again. Best wishes, Bristol handyman team.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This men painted the living room and did the flooring. Redid our bathroom and kitchen as well as the hall way and main bedroom. These two men were amazing. They did their job so thourouly and really listened to the changes and points we had as the went along with the job. They gave their option about certain aspects of the job which was received very well and as they know what they were talking about. Their options about things turned out to be even better than what we have in mind. I really like the fact that they were very patient and would make any reasonable changes or adjustment to things we had a second opinion about. They were very quick with completing the work and my favorite of it all...swept and tidied up the place every day before leaving. We'll definitely be using these two men again in the future if we needed anything doing around the house. By the way they are very affordable!!!!! 1000 stars for affordability. We  had asked around and they other handmen who had come to see the job quoted some ridiculous amount of money. But the price we got from the bristol handymen team was great. My mum loves her new looking home. Thanks again

Frequently Asked Questions

Gapping in laminate flooring is usually caused by one of three things: the planks weren’t acclimatised to the room’s temperature before fitting, the subfloor is uneven causing the joints to pull apart under pressure, or the room’s humidity has dropped significantly. We will assess the environment and re-click the boards correctly to close the gaps.

We carefully grind out the grout lines surrounding the damaged tile to isolate it. Then, we use a specialised technique to break the tile inward into small pieces, chisel it out gently, scrape the old adhesive, and set the new tile perfectly flush with the existing grid.

Generally, no. Pouring over a failed layer will likely result in the new compound cracking in the exact same places. We always grind down the compromised layer, re-prime the subfloor properly, and then apply a fresh, correctly mixed batch of self-levelling compound for a permanent fix.

Buckling occurs when the floor has nowhere to expand. We carefully remove the skirting boards or scotia beading, use a specialised oscillating tool to trim the edges of the laminate planks to recreate the mandatory 10mm expansion gap, and then reinstall the beading to hide the gap neatly.

Corrective work is priced based on the time required to diagnose the issue, the complexity of the dismantling or remediation, and the materials needed for the fix. We always provide a clear, transparent quote after reviewing photos or conducting a quick site visit, with no hidden fees.
