Handyman & Property Maintenance
The trades who won't come for a half-day job. We built our calendar around exactly these.
Sticking doors. Cracked coving. Dripping taps. Dead sockets. We show up at a real booked time, clear the whole list in one visit, and charge a rate that's agreed before we start. Most handymen won't commit to a half-day job list. We built our calendar around exactly these.
Send us the list. We'll tell you if it's a half or full day.

Don't see your job? If it's a domestic repair, we most likely cover it. Call or email and describe what you need.
07405 739028The repairs service that actually shows up — at the time you agreed.
Six specific things that separate us from every handyman who told you 'between 8 and 12' and arrived at 3.
A real start time — not a window
"We'll be there between 8 and 12" is not a start time. We book a specific slot and we show up for it.
Half-day minimum, no call-out fee
Transparent pricing from the beginning. No surprise call-out charge on top of the hourly rate.
One visit, multiple trades
Our repairs team covers plaster, paint, electrics and plumbing. One visit can clear a whole list.
No job too small
Most tradespeople won't leave their van for a half-day job. We will. Our repairs calendar is built around it.
Four steps — no portals, no holding music, no chasing.
You call or email. We confirm the scope, show up at the agreed time, and send a clear invoice the same day.
Book your slot
Call or email with a description of the jobs. We'll confirm whether it's a half-day or full-day scope and give you specific available dates — not a four-hour arrival window.
Usually available within 5 working daysWe confirm the scope
A brief call or message the day before to confirm the job list and any materials we need to bring. No surprises on the day about what was or wasn't included.
Day before reminder includedOn-site assessment & work
We arrive at the agreed time, assess each job, confirm the scope and get started. If anything's more involved than expected, we tell you before touching it.
Multi-trade where requiredSign-off & invoice
Walk through the completed jobs with you. Invoice issued same day with a clear line for each task completed. No ambiguity about what was done and what it cost.
Same-day invoiceStill chasing someone who said they'd be there Tuesday?
We book a specific time, not a window. Half-day minimum. One visit clears multiple jobs. Usually available within five working days.
From £45 per hour, or half a day from £150.
Every job is quoted at a fixed price after a free survey — no hidden extras.
General repairs questions, answered.
Half a day. We don't do hour-long callouts — it's not economical for either of us, and it usually doesn't allow enough time to do a job properly. A half-day covers most small job lists.
Yes — and it's how most of our repair bookings work. One visit can cover a sticking door, a cracked plaster patch, a dripping tap and a dead socket. Tell us the full list when you book and we'll bring the right materials and skills.
We stop, show you what we've found, and quote separately before continuing. We never extend the scope without your agreement. If the additional work is significant, we'll schedule a return visit with the right trade.
We carry out minor electrical work: socket and switch replacement and light fitting installation. Any work that requires Building Regulations sign-off — new circuits, consumer units, work in bathrooms — must be done by a registered electrician. We will let you know before the job starts if anything you have listed falls into that category.
Yes — sash cord and weight replacement is one of our most common jobs. We also do draught-sealing, spiral balance replacement on modern sashes, and general sash servicing.
Yes — the majority of our repair work is in occupied homes. We work cleanly, protect floors and furniture, and leave habitable space throughout. Landlord instructions and tenant access can be coordinated through us.
Call 07405 739028 or send an email to info@corebuildgroup.co.uk with a description of the jobs. We typically have availability within five working days and can often be faster for urgent issues.
