Handyman George came to hang a large mirror for us, and sort a wobbly toilet seat. He was very professional, and did a perfect job. This is the first time we have met George, we will definitely be using him in the future.

SuperStar George. He is professional, perfect manner, highly skilled, fairly priced, good communicator., honest Our "go to" handyman. Highly recommended. George just did tricky bathroom fittings and mended a no longer sliding wardrobe. He is returning to some some shelves. We are very happy with his work.

Just had a metal curtain pole replaced by Handyman George . So good to receive such a truly conscientious ‘handyman’service and to know there is someone nearby whom we can confidently contact when the need arises.

I've used George's services repeatedly over the past 5-6 years, he's my first port of call whenever I have a problem. He is always very prompt and helpful, explains things clearly and makes sure I get the best bargain in terms of quality and cost of any products he uses or replaces. Heartily recommended!

I am one of George's many repeat customers. This time he replaced a damaged mixer tap which was quickly becoming an unintended water feature in my kitchen, doing a temporary fix first that lasted until I could buy a replacement. As always he came quickly, did the job for an excellent price, and explained everything as he went along. He really goes the extra mile for his customers and you always know the quality of his workmanship is excellent as he pays such attention to the detail. George is my go-to guy for any little jobs around the house, he is such a find.

George recently carried out a few jobs in our bathroom and outside in our garage. In addition he gave advice over the phone, early morning, as our electrics kept tripping. He clearly and methodically advised how to find the appliance that was causing the electricity to switch off. We call on George time and time again, and have been using him for DIY jobs for many years. It is always a pleasure to see George, he is professional, trustworthy and I can not recommend him highly enough.

George mounted two large mirrors, put up a cupboard and wall mounted shelf/coat hooks for my Mother. He advised on positioning explaining where the cables ran in the walls. He also advised on two other jobs we would like done in the near future. He made sure we were clear on everything he was doing and were happy. He cleaned up thoroughly as he worked. We have recommended him to my Mum's neighbours and will definitely be calling him again soon. Thank you George

I am extremely happy with the service provided by George. He was very efficient and was completed an urgent job for a reasonable price . To be honest he saved me a few pounds by saving an old door by repairing it instead of going through a long hassle getting a new one fitted . I would say he is a person who would go the extra mile to help people. I will have no problem hiring George again when needed. God bless him!

Handyman George has been coming to me for a few years and has done several plumbing as well as tricky ceiling, door and gate repairs. He is the best because he approaches problems intelligently, with a wide knowledge and initiative so he sees different solutions or options, including possibilities for repair instead of complete replacement. He explains things clearly, and does the job thoroughly and conscientiously. He is reliable and trustworthy, helpful and kind. I wholeheartedly recommend him.

George has been a life saver for us many times since we moved into our first house in 2020. As first time owners, there were many things we didn’t know how to do, such as installing appliances, installing bloc blinds on Velux windows, installing ceiling speakers, mounting large TV's, drilling and mounting on brick, securing stair gates, electrical issues, etc etc. the list goes on. Handyman George has come out to help us move in and get settled in our home and continues to help us to this day as we make updates and changes. He’s really thoughtful and thorough, and always finds clever solutions to tricky problems. I can always trust the job is done right and reliable when George does it, which is super important as many of things in my house must stand the test of young children: both sturdy and safe. Many thanks for all your help in the past couple of years.

I had a fantastic experience with George! While I was away, there was a broken curtain rail at my Airbnb, and I was feeling quite panicky because I had guests staying there. I didn't want them to have an evening without bedroom curtains. However, George quickly responded to the situation and did a brilliant job fixing the curtain rail. He saved the day for me and my guests, and I couldn't be more grateful for his prompt and professional service. I highly recommend George for anyone needing reliable help with their Airbnb or any other handyman tasks!

Exceptional and highly professional fitting of garden gate at the end of the day.
George even went to collect gate and reorganised all his tools so it would fit
into his vehicle. Couldn’t ask for better service and would happily recommend. -
Needed to replace my old Aqualisa shower with a new one. George came over at short notice late one evening. He isolated the water supply, removed the old one, installed the new one and cleaned up afterwards. Explained what he was doing along the way and why. It took approximately one hour from start to finish. Found him to be very professional and good value for money.

Handyman George (entry 187 in 2023 edition) came to our house yesterday, to fix a dripping tap and to install a venetian blind. I would like to award George 10 out of 10 for his workmanship, knowledge, politeness and overall professional approach. My wife and I will certainly use George again in the future.

Handyman George is the king of all handyman services! He is very reliable, always punctual and most importantly he has great communication skills. What I like about his service is that he discusses things before or during work, gives you options, and makes recommendations. Works quickly and efficiently but accurately and to 100% perfection! George has done a range of jobs for me around the house from putting up new lights, curtain rails, blinds to fitting spare parts to an electric shower. Invaluable service!

George came to add some ventilation to our kitchen as this was required for our gas boiler. He came up with a good solution resulting in a very neat job. There is no draught and we are very pleased with the work. I would certainly use Handyman George again for further tricky jobs around the house. He seems very experienced and professional.
-
Really happy with his work overall. I had called him in, to replace my power shower. The plumbers who came in before him to do the job, left it incomplete and in a complete mess. The light was short circuiting, and shower not properly installed. He came in, worked methodically and sorted it all in an hour. Real professional work, would definitely call him next time I need stuff done in the house.

I first called Handyman George to fit curtain poles, a mirror and a cabinet in the toilets of my new property. I must say he has a sound knowledge and knows his trade well. He even explains to you the various aspects and gives you choices to select which option will suit you. He seems to be a perfectionist. After that I appointed him to do some shelving in a wardrobe and a storage area and he made good use of wood I had in stock and the job was done in an excellent manner. He is a honest man and I like his work and is not that kind of a person who would charge you more unnecessarily. I like his work and will definitely be calling him again when I need him.

This is the first time I have written a Google Review but I feel compelled to do so, such was the level of service I had with George. George was firstly very accommodating with regards to dates and times and communicated with us throughout. We needed a number of jobs to be completed (owing to our new move) that varied i.e. from electronics to fitting heavy, large mirrors. Each job George completed with dilligence and the care one would hope and expect - clearly explaining the pros and cons of each job to allow me and my partner to make an informed decision. Needless to say, each job was of the highest standard and we have already requested George to complete more work in the near future. Thanks George!

Great and reliable service - I have used George on many occasions to do a variety of jobs from leaks in the bathroom, sorting out lights, putting shelving up to building fitted cupboards in a bedroom. He has always kept me informed of availability and turned up when he said he would. His work is exceptional and he always explains what he is going to do. He takes pride and time in his work and you know that it will be to a high standard and will last. George also has good suggestions/ideas too.
-
I contacted George as I had a variety of odd jobs around the house (Cabinet door fixing, wall mirror to fix, window handle replacement, replace kitchen tap). George was very responsive in planning the visits and kept me updated. The quality of work is excellent. George really takes such care and pride in his work. We will always be calling George when we have anymore work to do
-
Fantastic service. Used on two occasions - first to fit a cat flap and most recently to repair a leaky loo and kitchen tap. Both jobs done quickly, tidily, and at a reasonable price. George is your man for all those small jobs around the home.
-
I highly recommend George I agree with all his previous excellent reviews. I had a significant leak in the kitchen - an accident cover engineer had visited after several (very wet) hours delay and advised that they could not isolate the leak without dismantling everything including possibly walls. I was fortunate to see George's entry in the Green Book. He arrived as promised that evening. He efficiently used a head torch to find the source of the leak and stopped it with no hassle. He then waited until he was sure it was stopped. He explained everything well. Highly professional. Very knowledgeable Friendly and I was very impressed with him all round. So pleased I found him. A big thank you to Handyman George.
-
I can't praise George highly enough. I'd give him more than five stars if I could! The standard of his work is extremely high. He is completely reliable, and if he says that he'll come on a day, he turns up on time. Everything is carefully explained. He is very creative and inventive, and can find solutions to problems that had seemed almost unsolvable. I am really delighted with everything he has done for us since our move into the area.
-
I chose George because he is experienced in electrics, plumbing and carpentry therefore was able to do a number of jobs around the house. He has an excellent easy to use website that tells you all about him. George came the same day that I called and was very professional and polite in all his communications and completion of works. He was very neat and tidy and explained everything he was doing giving good advice. Very trustworthy and good value for money, I will definitely be using him again.
-
Very prompt and helpful response to the problem with our door. Will definitely use George again.

Excellent in every way - very communicative from the start, very thorough job with good attention to detail - talked us through everything carefully.

I had a great recent experience with George, who put up some rather tricky curtain poles for me. He was able to come over the same day I contacted him and was very polite and courteous. He was very professional and talked me through exactly what he was doing and why. I'm very happy with the result and I'll most definitely be using him again in the future.
-
I've had George come and help out with many jobs, some urgent and some less so. He is always prompt, provides all the information about cost and duration and any spare parts, unfailingly polite. He has replaced window locks and light switches, sealed bathrooms, replaced kitchen cupboards and much more.
-
George came round to attach hand rail for our stairs. He was able to come round quicker than thought. he was very methodical and diligent. Let me know all way through the task what he was doing and such a nice guy to talk to. Did a great job, and I would highly recommend him.

I have recently employed HANDYMAN GEORGE (entry number 229) to carry out several jobs in my Marlow home. I can thoroughly recommend HANDYMAN GEORGES's services. He is polite and was most helpful in explaining his proposed solutions to the various matters matters requiring attention. He carried out the work efficiently - to my entire satisfaction - at a reasonable price. Altogether, a most satisfactory experience.
-
I’ve used George for a wide variety of different home improvement tasks over the years and have always been very satisfied with the results. Not only is the quality of workmanship exceptionally good but he designs creative solutions to problems - a good example being a kitchen unit which was too large for the space which he cut down to size. You’d never know it had been altered and looks made to measure. So it’s not just the workmanship getting for a very competitive price it’s also consultancy on the options available to you which I really like.
-
George has been my 'go to' handyman for several years now, for everything from floor tiling to gutter repairs. His work is always of the highest possible standard. He is an incredibly friendly and trustworthy person. I can't recommend George highly enough!

Excellent work removing and installing bath panels, shower screen and shower hose. Cared about making a nice finish. Friendly and extremely polite. Communicated well both when arranging the for work to be done and when carrying it out. Highly recommended.

George came round at short notice to sort out a electrical socket behind my washing machine. He was very helpful, and ran through my options with me first. He was thorough in his work and stuck around afterwards to ensure the machine performed as it should. He even offered helpful advice on other issues around the flat! Would definitely use again.
-
George responded overnight to an email enquiry with a fixed price and was able to come later the same day to carry out the work - replacing all the brass fittings (handles, letterbox, knocker, rain deflector) on our front door, which included enlarging the letterbox opening in a hardwood door. He explained his approach to the task in advance, carried out the work in a very thorough, professional manner, gave useful advice on future maintenance, and for a small extra charge also fitted a new towel and toilet roll holder in our cloakroom (a last minute request). A very friendly, positive and reliable person - would definitely use him again and happily recommend him to anyone in need of a handyman.
-
He came over on very short notice and was extremely helpful. He was happy to advise me on work that needs doing in the house and what future steps I should take. Very precise, would call him again for any house work that I need. Would recommend, very friendly person also.

George did some fantastic work at my home starting from fixing holes in the wall to assembling flat pack furniture at a very reasonable price. The best part is that he discusses the choices and explains pros/cons before starting anything, which helped me to understand and request any changes that I wanted to make. Thanks for all the good work you have done at my house and hoping to get more done through you in future. Also I highly recommend you to others.

Oh my goodness, what an angel. I asked George to fit my new built in oven. Im a single mother and just bought one thinking it will fit fine and did not look into sizes etc. George did every thing in his power and expertise to fit it in safety knowing how desperate i needed it. I was blown away by his kindness to get the job done for me. He is fantastic and 110% recommend him to anyone happily. Thank you George.
