Reliable and Responsible

I am fortunate that, while still relatively young, I’ve been able to reduce my main job to three days a week. As I step into semi-retirement, I find myself with a lifetime of practical experience and a bit of free time on my hands.

​

When I'm not running, cycling, walking the dog, or working on getting my motorbike licence, I'm ready to tackle all those wee jobs you’ve been putting off.

​

Covering the Scottish Borders, East Lothian, and Edinburgh. No job is too small (though a few might be too big!). Get in touch to see if I can help.
