"I have used the Horshader handyman on many occasions. He cuts my grass every few weeks(which I hate doing), he's fixed my locks on my doors, sorted a leaking tap and helped me to clear out my loft. When I'm stuck around the house I think Horshader Handyman."
"Prompt and helpful service. Thank you!"
"I needed to move furniture and couldn't do it and contacted Horshader who provided an excellent service. Well worth a phone call."
"Greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help."
"I am very, very pleased with the work carried out by the Horshader Handyman, I live alone and am on my eighties the grass cutting is just too much for me but the handyman made a really good job of it and I really appreciate it"
"Fantastic Service to have in our community"
