The customer supplied the gate to be fitted, but it needed to be cut down to size in order to fit in the entrance space.
Two wooden posts need to be fixed to the wall on either side of the entrance for the gate to hang on and to close with the latch attachments.
Lastly, the customer wanted the gate painted. All done in 2 hours.
Looks smart!
The old sink is removed and supply pipes re routed to new corner basin. Tiles added to top area as the customer required.
The customer wanted to take the fence section away in order to fit 2 storage bin enclosures.
I suggested using the part of the fence to carry it through to the shed, keeping the uniformity and utilising the materials.
There was already paving to assemble the 2 storage bin units.
Looks good with the fence moved to the side, cut to size and fixed to existing fencing posts, utilising and making good use of space.
The black mould was removed using bleach diluted with water using a sponge. It’s hard work, but with persistent rubbing, it is removed. Allowing to dry, l then applied white emotion paint.
Keep bathrooms well ventilated to prevent mould appearing.
The floor by the front door has collapsed.
As you can see, this could be a tricky job without having to remove more of the laminate.
I need to replace the joist with new to run right across the width of the floor.
Job done. Refitting the laminate and skirting.
I estimated 6 hours to assemble the multi gym. Having unpacked the components.
6 hours later, it’s built with the pulles and cables fitted.

A large awning has come away from the wall at one end and needs fixing back. But the brick, which the fixings are in, has crumbled, so l suggested the fixings use the next line of bricks up.
Having hired two scaffold towers to rest the awning on, l use 10mm driver bolts.
The brackets are fixed to the wall, and the awning can now be offered up and secured to the wall.
Job done.
The customer wanted some shelves in the garage.
So, cut down into three a sheet of 18mm ply and sourced 15 large brackets from Wicks.
Job done.
The rotten timbers are removed and some of the shed frame is strengthened.
I decided to remove all the lower timber as this would make it easier to replace under the window, it just so happened the the run would put up to the window with out having to cut.
There looks great with the added trim around the window.
The timber on this side of the shed is damaged and needs replacing. Having removed the rotten timber and strengthened the shed frame, the new timber is fitted.
Jib done, just needs painting to match in with existing.
The customer wanted to open an old window that was situated from the kitchen extension through to the sitting room.
Having knocked out the bricks, the trim and plaster was applied.
Checking everything was square and level and some plaster applied to take out any curves in the frame.
Looking great and so much lighter through to the dinning room.
Looking so much better, and better insulation. Just needs painting.
Once again, Ashtons Handyman Services was rated the best of the three in Stockton on Tees area.
Here you can see how the joist by the front door have rotted slightly over the years.
So of the get some timber and a new board.
I have used plastic spacers to raise the new timbers from the old joists to prevent the slight damp getting through and to get me to the right level for the new board to sit on.
There job done and the new board is level with the existing.
It’s unfortunate but in a new build the pipes for the heating system run through the walls.
It’s impossible to see where the pipes go so if l’m going to hang or fit something to a plaster board wall l always check with a professional detector to see if there are any pipes or electrical cables.
Unfortunately for the BT engineer they didn’t check and drilled through these pipes. It took a month for the home owner to release water was slowly dripping out and damaging the floor.
My job was to simply cover over the hole made by the plumber who mended the leak.
Leave that to dry then after a little sand down your ready to paint.
