Prestwick
Your local handyman in Prestwick
Prestwick is bungalows and big gardens, and both of those age in a very particular way this close to the water.
A great deal of Prestwick is interwar and post-war bungalows on generous plots, with the links, the beach and the airport along the edge of it. Big gardens mean fencing, turf, decking and patios rather than the tight back courts you get further inland.
Being this close to the shore shortens the life of everything outdoors. Fence posts go at ground level, gates drop, timber greys off, and paving greens over in a season. Most of the calls here are maintenance catching up rather than anything dramatic.
The jobs that come up in Prestwick
- Fencing on long boundaries that take the full weather off the sea
- Decking cleaned, re-boarded or rebuilt after the salt air has had it
- Patios, monoblock and paths power washed and rejointed
- New turf and artificial lawns on the bigger bungalow gardens
- Gutters and roof repairs on properties with a lot of roof and a lot of wind
- Hedges, grass and general tidy ups on regular visits

Questions
Common questions about Prestwick
Do you cover Prestwick?
Yes, along with Ayr next door. Give John a phone and he will tell you honestly when he can get across.
My fence keeps blowing down. Is that a post problem?
Nine times out of ten, yes. The panels are usually fine and it is the posts that have rotted off at ground level. Replacing three posts is a far smaller job than replacing the whole fence, and John will say which one you have got.
Can you clean decking rather than replace it?
Often, yes. If the frame underneath is sound, a wash and a treatment gets a lot of life back out of it. He will only tell you it needs rebuilt when it actually does.
Do you do regular garden maintenance here?
Yes — grass, hedges and tidy ups on a regular run, which suits a lot of the bigger gardens in the town.
