About Me

Handiwork runs in my family. My dad is an engineer and a keen carpenter, my grandad taught me to paint and do masonry work, and my grandmother restores antiques. Growing up around them, I developed a love for working with my hands and learning how things are built—and how to fix them.

At university, I studied business, and after graduating I explored different jobs before starting my own commercial photography business, which I continue to run today. Photography sharpened my eye for detail, patience, and problem-solving—skills that also carry over into my practical work.

For the past six years, while working as a photographer, I’ve also been helping family and friends with handiwork and plumbing projects. Word spread, the jobs grew, and so did my collection of tools. Eventually, I realised that this wasn’t just a hobby—it is something I truly love doing.

Now, alongside my photography, I work as a handyman in Cambridge, offering a wide range of services. Whether it’s fixing, building, or improving, I take pride in doing the job properly and leaving things better than I found them.

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Many jobs, removing fixed in cupboards, putting in kitchen units, new worktop etc

    Fireplace restoration & downstairs loo renovation

    Faulty Shower mixer tap. Plus dripping Outside garden Tap

    David arrived promptly and after a brief discussion, examined the mixer valve and we decided on a replacement unit, he duly ordered and fitted the unit with no problems, he kept you informed throughout the procedure. Also we had a problem with a dripping outside tap, what I liked was that he did a repair on the tap, but indicated that if the tap did not hold up, he would return, and replace the tap at no extra cost. so far we have not had to call him back. not many handymen would do that! Very reasonable prices.
