What Samson does
One small local team for repairs, finishing work and home improvements
I’m Edvardas. I manage a small team of handymen, plumbers, painters and decorators, and carpenters. We help homeowners, landlords, letting and estate agencies, and local businesses with repairs, maintenance, decorating and home improvements. You have one point of contact: speak to me about the work and I’ll arrange the right team member for the job.
For specialist or regulated work, the job is assessed first so you know whether a dedicated qualified trade specialist is required.
Landlords, letting and estate agencies, and property managers can also book HMO maintenance-readiness visits, rapid repair lists and rental void resets.
Straightforward pricing
Small jobs from £60, with the price agreed first
Small handyman and painting or decorating jobs start at £60 for up to one hour of work, including materials and travel within our service area. I’m not VAT registered, so no VAT is added. I’ll confirm the price before we book; larger jobs are quoted separately.
Send me a short job list, your postcode and a photo if you have one. I’ll let you know what we can do and what it will cost. If the work changes, we’ll discuss it before going ahead.
