Handyman in Galston

Your local handyman in Galston

Galston is not an area John covers. It is where he lives and where the van sits at night.

Handyman 2 Your Rescue works out of 30 Loudoun Avenue, Galston. If you are in the town, you are five minutes from the job — which in practice means John can often come and look at something the same day you phone about it, and it is not worth him charging you to come and price it.

The town is a mix of older stone terraces, post-war semis and newer estates, sitting at the bottom of the Irvine Valley with the moor above it. That combination decides most of what he gets called out for here.

The jobs that come up in Galston

• Gutters on the older sandstone terraces, where moss off the roof and leaves off mature street trees block them every autumn
• Fence panels and posts after the wind funnels down the valley — it is the single most common call after a bad night
• Roof repairs on the older properties: slipped tiles and ridge mortar that has had a long life
• Patios and paths that have sunk or gone green, on ground that stays damp
• Back gardens on the newer estates getting their first proper turf or decking
• Overgrown gardens at properties that have been standing empty
