Handyman services in Alderney

Alderney lies inland on the Poole side, north of Upper Parkstone and west of Rossmore. L&G is based in Bournemouth; discuss the work at your own property with Landros.

For an Alderney room refresh, distinguish a cosmetic change from a repair to a damaged background. If shelves or fittings have been removed, photograph the fixing points and any loose plaster around them. Explain the intended finish and retained features so local repairs, a wider skim and painting can be compared on a defined scope.

For an Alderney room after shelves or brackets are removed, show each fixing point and the surrounding plaster. Small holes can be straightforward to describe, but loose material around them changes the question. State whether a new fitting will cover the area or it needs a complete decorative finish.

Divide the project into preparation, repairs and finishing. Identify links to painting, tiling, skimming, plastering or rendering where relevant, rather than assuming every task belongs in one allowance. A simple sketch and annotated photographs can make the scope clearer, particularly at doorways, changes of level and junctions between different materials.

If the wall has several former fixing points or patch edges, ask whether local repairs or a wider skim fits the desired result. Include retained skirting and sockets in photographs. The painting scope should relate to that decision rather than assume repaired areas blend with the old coating.

Explain your priority and what a usable finished result looks like. Provide photographs for each task rather than one general room image. Discuss material supply and the areas included, plus any work being arranged with other people. This makes it easier to plan the interfaces and avoid decorating something that still needs alteration.
