01 · The person behind the skill

Meet Johan.

Handyman for 30 years. If it drips, squeaks or wobbles, I can probably fix it.

Experience & approach

Example focus: everyday home maintenance and planning small repairs. Licensed electrical work, structural work and specialist installations need the right qualified tradesperson.

How I like to work

Describe the problem and share a photograph if you can. We agree whether a visit is needed, the task that fits the available hours and who supplies parts.
