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.

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

Typically, a fresh skim coat needs 24–48 hours to dry fully before applying primer or paint, depending on ventilation and humidity. We’ll advise you on the exact timing for your project to ensure the best finish.

Not when done professionally. We feather the edges of repairs and apply a thin skim over the affected area, then sand flush with the surrounding wall. Once painted, the repair will be completely invisible.

We address the root cause first — whether it’s structural movement, damp, or poor previous work. For hairline cracks, we use flexible fillers and mesh tape; for deeper issues, we reinforce with backing plaster. This ensures a durable, long-lasting repair.

Yes, if wallpaper is present over damaged plaster, we’ll carefully strip it first to assess the wall underneath. This allows us to properly fill, skim, and prepare the surface for a flawless paint finish.

Absolutely. We have extensive experience working with period properties in areas like Clifton and Redland. We use traditional lime-based plasters where appropriate and match the original finish to maintain your home’s character.
