Handyman repairs in Wingham and the CT3 patch.

What's covered

• Sticking doors re-planed and re-hung; frame movement corrected where possible
• Squeaky floorboards - screw down from below where crawlspace access exists, top-fix and colour-match where not
• Cracked plaster patch-and-paint, hairline to 5mm; larger cracks flagged as movement not decoration
• Dropped shelves re-fixed with correct wall-fixing for the substrate (stud, brick, block, plasterboard-and-dot-and-dab)
• Curtain poles and blinds - correct fixing for solid or hollow wall, level, load-rated
• Kitchen unit door adjustments, hinge replacements, drawer runner swaps

Pricing

Half-day (up to 4 hours): £180. Full day (up to 8 hours): £320. Parts and materials at trade cost, no mark-up. Fixed-price jobs quoted where scope is well-defined (a single shelf, a single door). Most Wingham cottage snag-list visits fit inside a half-day.

Wingham-specific notes

Older village-cottage stock has settled walls, drifted lintels, and mixed-substrate walls (lime plaster on lath, then dot-and-dab in the 1980s over the top). Fixings vary by wall type in the same room. I test each fixing point before drilling - the difference between a shelf that holds and a shelf that drops is knowing what is behind the plaster.
