Handyman and carpenter in Delft

Yes. You can contact us in English by phone, WhatsApp or the form, and we discuss the jobs, the quote and the planning in English.

That depends on the jobs, the materials and how many jobs are done in one visit. Small jobs we charge by the hour, larger carpentry at a fixed price. Send us your list with photos, or we come and look first free of charge, and you get the price in writing before we start.

For small jobs such as adjusting a door, hanging shelves or assembling a wardrobe, we charge by the hour. For work we can assess in advance, such as replacing a sill or putting up a fence, you get a fixed price. Which one applies is stated in the quote.

Yes, and we recommend it. Send us the whole list with a photo of each job. We bring the materials for all of them and work through the list in one visit, which keeps the travel time per job low.

Yes. A photo via WhatsApp is often enough to tell you how we would tackle a job and roughly how long it takes. For larger carpentry we still come and look, because the condition of the wood or the wall only shows on site.

Yes. Timber, skirting boards, hinges, locks, fixings, filler and paint we buy and list in the quote. If you have already bought a door, a TV bracket or furniture, we fit what you have.

No. We don't install or move sockets, switches, lighting circuits, pipes or taps. We do the carpentry and mounting around them, such as boxing in pipes or mounting a TV next to an existing socket. For electrical or plumbing work, please use a certified installer.

Often, yes. Drilling holes, mounting a TV, replacing a door or changing anything on the outside of a rented home usually needs your landlord's permission. Check your rental agreement or ask your landlord before we start. In an apartment, changes to the outside may also need approval from the VvE.

Yes, on a wall that can carry it. We check whether the wall is brick, concrete or plasterboard, use the right fixings and look for pipes and cables before drilling. Cables can go in a cable duct on the wall. We don't install new sockets or wiring inside the wall.

Yes. Wardrobes, beds, cabinets and desks, and where the instructions require it we fix tall furniture to the wall. It is a good job to combine with others, such as hanging shelves or curtain rails.

Yes. We fit the door into the existing frame, cut in the hinges and lock, and lacquer the cut edges. Tell us which door it is when you send the request, so we bring the right hinges and lock.

Usually not. Often the hinges have dropped or the wood has taken up moisture. We adjust the hinges first and only plane the door if needed. The planed edge we lacquer again straight away.

Yes. Small patches we repair with epoxy, larger parts we replace with new wood in the same profile. How we do that is explained on the page about wood rot repair.

Yes. We put up new posts and boards or panels, replace loose posts and rehang garden gates. On request we stain or paint the fence at the same time.

Yes. We fill plug holes and cracks, sand them smooth and paint the wall, so the home is ready for the handover. For whole rooms see interior painting.

Yes, that is why many clients ask us for carpentry. New wood is primed on the same day and then finished in two coats, in the colour of the rest of the house.

Yes. For example small repairs, doors and skirting boards between two tenants, or replacing sills across a whole block. More about that on our business page (in Dutch).

We respond to your request within one business day and plan the visit at a time that suits you. When the work itself can start depends on the planning and on the delivery time of the materials.
