Barry is extremely helpful and trustworthy. Completed a very long and varied list to a high standard for us. Most importantly he was knowledgeable and proposed practical solutions. I highly recommend his work. Extremely hard to find someone that can solve all your problems, so much easier!

Not only is Barry multi-talented, he is also a lovely person. He has refurbished my bathroom, decorated my flat, and fixed a list of jobs to the highest standard. He cares about the finish as much as I do and the work he has completed couldn't be better. I would highly recommend Barry.

After completing an ambitious renovation and extension of our Muswell Hill home, I finally gave up on getting my builders to effectively remedy the vast defect list we had been left with. My husband and I didn't have the knowledge, tools or experience to even know where to begin with many of the issues we were facing. And so I finally turned to Handy on the Hill. Barry got to work immediately. Across several full-day bookings he turned my house into a home.
My list of jobs that I had no idea on how to address, has now virtually disappeared. Barry even helped me design and mount a gallery wall, which everyone comments on. And when things go wrong with my home these days, I no longer despair but simply call Handy on the Hill! The service has been worth every penny, saving me a fortune in tradesmen costs. I highly recommend Handy on the Hill for all your household projects, upgrades and repairs.

Barry has done a couple of jobs on my flat and I am incredibly impressed. Barry is personable, efficient, tidy and his work has been of a very high quality. He provided extremely useful advice on what needed to be done and on what might need to be done in the future. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend Barry's work. So far, he has helped me with plastering, painting, picture and mirror hanging as well as other smaller jobs. He is exceptionally efficient, conscientious, hard working and punctual. He takes alot of care with his work and tidies up after himself before he leaves - that may seem like a small point, but is super important. If you need a reliable, skilled, friendly person to help maintain your property, absolutely use Barry.

I picked Barry based on all the good reviews and I wasn't disappointed. Barry was efficient and effective, I'm very pleased with the results, and I've already discussed some more tasks with him. Would highly recommend.

Barry has come to my rescue many times over the last few years, from painting my hall, kitchen and bedroom, to making beautiful cupboards, laying a new wooden floor, and many other smaller but vital jobs. As all the reviews say, he is an excellent craftsman, thoughtful and inventive, and he takes a pride in his work which is done to a high standard, without overcharging, and the place is left really clean and tidy.
What also comes through in previous reviews is Barry's reliability and friendliness; he is a pleasure to have around the house, and totally trustworthy. I'm thinking of getting him to make a cupboard to keep him in - he's invaluable! Highly recommended.

I am more than happy to recommend Barry to anyone who wants high quality work with professional, all is possible attitude. There is no job too small for him, he is reliable, punctual and never disappoints. He fixed my garden fence, leaking drain pipe, broken shed door, cleaned my windows and conservatory. He is a delight to have around the house.

Ive used Barry twice, once for decoration and another to do a long list of odd and varied jobs. I am an absentee landlord and so was reliant on him to collect keys, let himself in and complete the work and then lock up and return the keys. On both occasions he did exactly what I asked and sent me photos of the completed work. I couldn't have asked more and would recommend him without reservation.

Very happy to recommend Barry's services. We had a cupboard which had fallen off the kitchen wall, causing quite a lot of damage. Barry got the job done quickly and I'm really pleased with the job he did. Will definitely be using Handy on the Hill again!
