David

Total cost per hour: £24.40 (incl fees)

Hello, my name is David Bowers and I am a handyman with a difference! I have been working for the last couple of years under the name of ‘Dave and his Van’ however, I have past experience as a registered nurse and so I pride myself on combining my handyman skills with a caring supportive approach to any and all work I do.Over the last two years I have done a whole range of jobs for different people, including those who are elderly or more vulnerable which I have always enjoyed and often go back to. Yes, I am there to provide a service, but I can appreciate that sometimes sitting down for a cup of tea and a chat is equally important.As well as the handyman side of my work I also have a waste carrier licence, so I can collect and dispose of any waste to a commercial waste station. The cost of disposing depends on the type of waste but this can be easily explained as/when required.I have experience with garden jobs, such as garden clearing, pruning, basic landscaping, fencing, paths, shed bases, building bin stores, etc. I also offer hoarding support, having had experience both professionally and within my wider family I have an in depth understanding of the issues around hoarding and support needed in these difficult circumstances.Between working as a Handyman and previously being a nurse, I am also a mosaic artist. I’ve done a lot of work in primary schools and other community spaces (e.g. Windmill Hill City Farm), so if you see any mosaics around the BS3 area it may well be one of my projects. Because of this, I can do tiling work and could even also teach you some new skills.My availability is flexible depending on the work required. I’m happy to do day/evening or weekend work and can be booked in for a morning/afternoon, day, week, etc depending on requirements.My rates vary between £18-20 per hour depending on the job and if it’s a short or a long-term project. I can quote for any project and give you an estimated cost but also happy to work to an agreed budget if needed. Please bear in mind that any costs quoted do not include the BS3 Community Care fee.On a final note, when working with a client recently they came up with the idea that I am a “handyman with a heart” and yes it does sound a little cheesy but in truth I believe this does describe me rather well and I take pride in being described this way!!Please contact me or BS3 Community if you would like to discuss or have any questions.
