Darvel
Your local handyman in Darvel
Darvel sits at the top of the valley and takes the weather first.
Darvel is the last town in the Irvine Valley before the road climbs over the moor towards Lanarkshire, and it is noticeably more exposed than the towns below it. Wind and driving rain off open ground reach Darvel before they reach anywhere else in the valley.
You can see it in the work. Fencing, ridge tiles, flashings and anything the wind can get underneath come up more often here — and they come up first.
The jobs that come up in Darvel
- Fence panels and posts taken out by wind off the moor — the most common call in the town
- Ridge tiles and flashings lifted where the roof takes the weather side
- Gutters overflowing under genuinely heavy rain rather than just being blocked
- Repointing on exposed stone gables that are wet more often than they are dry
- Garden clearance on plots that back onto open ground and grow back fast
- Power washing on north facing paths and drives that go green quickly

Questions
Common questions about Darvel
How far is Darvel from you?
A few minutes up the A71 from Galston, through Newmilns. It is well within the normal working area, not an outlying job.
Our fence goes over every winter. Can it be done better?
Usually yes. Repeated failures on an exposed run are normally about post depth, post spacing and whether the panels let any wind through at all. John will tell you which of those is doing it to yours.
Do you come out in bad weather?
He works seven days, but nobody sensible goes up a ladder in a gale. He will tell you straight when a job needs to wait a day for safety rather than pretend otherwise.
Do you charge for coming out to Darvel?
No. The look and the price are free.
