Looking for a dependable handyman who actually knows the area? I'm Eddy, and I travel to Keswick regularly to help homeowners, landlords and holiday let owners keep their properties in top shape.
Keswick sits at the heart of some of the Lake District's most stunning scenery, and with that comes a unique set of property challenges. The beautiful Victorian townhouses along Station Street, the traditional slate-roofed cottages dotted around Portinscale, and the character properties overlooking Derwentwater all require someone who understands how older buildings work.
That's where I come in. Although I'm based in Carlisle, the drive down the A591 is one I make frequently. Many of my regular clients are in Keswick and the surrounding villages, so I'm often in the area and happy to combine jobs to keep things efficient for everyone.
Keswick thrives on tourism, and I understand the pressures that come with running a holiday cottage or B&B. Guests expect everything to work perfectly, and when something goes wrong between bookings, you need someone who can respond quickly and get things sorted before your next visitors arrive.
I offer rapid turnaround repairs for holiday accommodation owners. Whether it's a broken curtain rail, a door that won't close properly, furniture that needs assembling, or a room that needs freshening up with a lick of paint, I can often fit in same-week appointments to help you maintain your five-star reviews.
Many homes around Keswick feature exposed stonework, lime plaster, and timber that's been standing for centuries. I take a careful approach with older properties, understanding that modern quick-fixes don't always suit traditional construction methods. From repointing small areas of stonework to sensitively redecorating period features, I work with your building rather than against it.
