Where does Solent Home Fix work?
Solent Home Fix is a local, one-person handyman service based in Gosport. I cover Alverstoke, Lee-on-the-Solent, Stubbington, Browndown, Hardway, Fareham, Hill Head, Titchfield, Warsash and Hamble. You deal directly with the person carrying out the work, from your first enquiry to the finished job. The areas covered page explains the local coverage; if you are unsure whether your address is included, ask before making arrangements.
What jobs can a handyman help with?
A handyman can help with everyday repairs and improvements that build up around a home. At Solent Home Fix, examples include repairing doors and handles, patching walls, painting and decorating, hanging wallpaper, assembling flat-pack furniture, and fitting shelves, curtain rails, mirrors or TV brackets. Non-gas plumbing tasks include replacing taps, repairing waste fittings and resealing silicone. See the services list for specific examples and describe what needs attention rather than trying to diagnose the repair yourself.
Which work needs a specialist?
Solent Home Fix does not undertake gas appliance installation, repairs or maintenance, or gardening and landscaping. Gas work should be handled by a suitably qualified Gas Safe registered engineer. Light electrical work is limited to legally permitted tasks; work requiring specialist qualifications or certification should be assessed by a qualified electrician. If you are unsure whether a job is suitable, explain it when enquiring so the scope can be checked before a visit. A handyman enquiry is not a substitute for emergency assistance.
How do I request an accurate quote?
Start with a short description of each job, your location and a phone number for a reply. A clear photo of the problem, plus a wider view of the surrounding area, helps show access and the existing finish. For assembly or installation, include dimensions and product details if available, and say whether you already have the materials. Send these through the Snap & Send enquiry form. I will make contact and arrange to come and visit, then confirm the work and price before starting.
How should I prepare for the visit?
Write down your priorities so the most important repairs are discussed first. Mention any parking or access restrictions, and clear the immediate work area where it is safe to do so. Keep furniture instructions and supplied fixings together. You do not need to attempt repairs or remove fittings in advance. Combining several small tasks into one enquiry helps establish the full scope, but the time needed depends on the jobs and conditions found. Clear communication and respect for your home are part of the service.
Can I enquire about a larger improvement project?
Yes. Alongside smaller repairs, Solent Home Fix takes enquiries for bathroom rip-outs and refits, kitchen upgrades, wall skimming, tiling, flooring and refurbishments. Larger jobs need a discussion about the existing space, the finish you want and the work involved before a quote can be agreed. Visit the projects page to explore these services, then request a quote with your plans and photos. The aim is a clear scope and an agreed price, not a guess based on a generic online estimate.
