"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."

"Hosein did a great job at short notice redecorating our sitting room. The job turned out to be more complicated than expected (after stripping the wallpaper the wall was in worse condition than we thought) and he was quick to let us know and easily handled the more complex job. We were very pleased with the final result."
Greg Chadwick, Redland
★★★★★
"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, all well within the timeframe they first gave me. 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 and I had begun to despair over, so I am very grateful for that! I would definitely hire again."

Straightforward quote, the work was completed in less than 4 days and they even came back on Saturday to finish off a few bits for us. Painted a room, repaired and rehung a door, fitted a ceiling light and mounted a tv in the wall complete with new wall plug sockets. Lastly they made two new cupboards for us complete with shelves and beading, and painted them both as well. Punctual, tidy, and a pleasure to have in the house. Have already recommended them to neighbours and friends!

Hosein and his colleague did a great job of decorating our bedroom and making and fitting a large storage cupboard. We are very happy with the results and the job was completed ahead of schedule and each day, everything was left clean and tidy.

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.

Hosein and the team helped make our house shine before we put it up for sale. Efficient and high quality work and very responsive throughout. Plus the added bonus of being really reasonably priced. We highly recommend the Bristol Handyman team.

Great service from Hosein and team, they quoted us quickly and at affordable, competitive rates. They helped us take down some wallpaper in 3 bedrooms and the hallway, leaving the walls ready for plastering and painting and the house was left tidy afterwards. Highly recommended.

Hosein was recommended to us from a friend who is an Interior Designer (so I knew she had high standards!) Hosein came and did a very thorough walk through what we wanted. He then produced an itemised quote for every element so we were able to clearly see the breakdown, and choose what to do with him. That said, he was so reasonably priced that we did the complete list. Hosein was timely, professional and polite. We have been delighted with the results and would highly recommend him for painting, decorating stud partition and repairs. Thanks bristol handyman team.

Decorated our bedroom to a high standard. The job included stripping wallpaper, removing woodchip, smoothing over plenty of bumps/cracks and replacing an old vent. I'm sure we'll use the Bristol Handyman Team again in the future. Thank you!

Had a shower screen fitted, new sealant placed around the bath and a new handle fitted on the toilet. Hosein responded quickly to my initial query. Phoned before arriving to confirm he would be there. Was on time and did all the jobs quickly but keeping me informed along the way ro make sure I was happy. Impressive. I am going to ask the company to come back and do more work for me. Good job.

Frequently Asked Questions

We carefully sand down dried drips and runs using fine-grit abrasives, then feather-edge the area before re-priming and repainting. Our colour-matching expertise ensures the repaired section blends seamlessly with the surrounding wall, leaving no visible trace of the original mistake.

Yes, in most cases. For fresh spills, we use specialised solvents that won’t damage finishes. For dried paint, we employ gentle scraping techniques combined with polishing compounds. On delicate surfaces like laminate or upholstered furniture, we test methods in inconspicuous areas first to guarantee safe, effective removal.

Cracking and peeling typically result from poor surface preparation—such as painting over dust, grease, or loose old paint—or applying paint in unsuitable conditions (too cold, too humid). We address the root cause by properly cleaning, sanding and priming surfaces before applying high-quality, breathable trade paints that flex with temperature changes.

We start by identifying the cause—often uneven roller pressure, insufficient paint coverage, or colour mismatch. Then we lightly sand the transition areas, apply a tinted primer if needed, and re-roll the entire wall section using professional techniques (maintaining a wet edge, consistent pressure) to achieve a uniform, professional finish.

Most corrections take 1–2 days for a standard room, depending on the extent of prep work required. Simple drip removal may take just a few hours, while extensive patchwork, colour correction or full repaints could require 2–3 days. We’ll provide a clear timeline after assessing your specific situation—often with just photos sent via WhatsApp.
