Looking for a dependable handyman in Penrith? I'm Eddy, and I make the short trip from Carlisle regularly to help homeowners and landlords throughout the town and surrounding Eden Valley villages.
Penrith has always been Cumbria's gateway to the Lakes—a proper market town with red sandstone buildings, a bustling high street, and a real community feel. From the historic properties around Devonshire Street to the newer estates towards Eamont Bridge, the town offers a mix of housing styles that each need different approaches when it comes to maintenance and improvement.
I'm based in Carlisle, which means Penrith is just a quick drive down the A6 or M6. I'm in the area frequently, working with homeowners in the town centre, out towards Stainton, and across the Eden Valley villages like Clifton, Langwathby and Temple Sowerby. This regular presence means I can often combine jobs and respond quickly when you need something sorting.
Penrith's distinctive red sandstone gives the town its character, but it also means many properties have features you won't find elsewhere. The Victorian terraces along Wordsworth Street, the Georgian properties near the castle, and the traditional cottages in surrounding villages all benefit from someone who takes care with period features.
That said, I'm equally at home working on modern properties. Whether you've just moved into a new-build near Penrith Lakes and need flat-pack furniture assembling, or you're refreshing a 1970s semi with a full redecoration, I bring the same attention to detail to every job.
With the Lakes on the doorstep and excellent transport links, Penrith has a thriving rental market. If you're a landlord or letting agent, I can help with property maintenance between tenancies, quick turnaround repairs, and those urgent jobs that crop up when something breaks down. I understand the pressures of keeping tenants happy and properties well-maintained.

I believe in keeping things simple. For larger projects, I'll assess the work and give you a fixed price upfront—no nasty surprises when the bill arrives. For smaller jobs, I work on an hourly or day rate. Either way, you'll know exactly what you're paying before I start. I'm fully insured with public liability cover for your peace of mind.
If you've got a property in Penrith, Eamont Bridge, Stainton, or anywhere across the Eden Valley that needs some attention, I'd love to hear from you. Drop me a call or send a WhatsApp message—I'm always happy to chat through what you need and give you honest advice on the best way forward.
