TESTIMONIALS

I would just like to say how particularly impressed I was with the man that you sent over yesterday to fix the window at Vera Road, Fulham. He worked quickly and efficiently and was polite at all times - which is no mean feat when you have a hormonal, pregnant woman suggesting incorrect, alternative methods for doing the repair!!

I feel, just as it is important to say when a service has not been good I think it is equally important to say when it has been and the service I received yesterday was exceptional.

I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Kind regards
Georgie

Many thanks for the work done – it was fantastic! Thanks
Ann-Marie Fletchder, SW11

I didn’t get chance yesterday but wanted to send you an email to say how happy I’ve been with your service. Pete is a lovely guy who was there at 8am sharp and completed all jobs perfectly.

Many thanks for a good/professional service,
Charlotte Taylor, NW2

'My experience of Fix-It Man was fantastic from start to finish. The guys were so professional and helpful I felt confident and assured that the job would be done quickly and efficiently.

Clare Davies, Mail on Sunday

" I just wanted to thank you for the most professional, efficient, prompt and friendly service I received from Scott and Pete yesterday when they carried out the jobs at my property, and also the efficient service received by your office. I am already drawing up another list of jobs - and hope to make use of your services again very soon. "
Ms Harrison-Lawrence, Walthemstow

Ms Purmessur, SED5

"Just a quick note to say thanks to you for a great service. I was visited by one of your Fix-it Men on 23.06.05, who efficiently fixed the leak in my bathroom with the minimum of fuss and mess. If only I had always known where to find a curteous, competent handyman when I needed one........! I will of course recommend you without hesitation. "

"I've already used Fix-it Man twice for jobs around the home and have had a fantastic service! I would highly recommend them to anyone!"
Tim Vincent, TV Presenter, London

"I had just bought my own flat and was moving in on my own for the first time. Fix-it Man was absolutely amazing - on the day I moved he fitted new locks, put in a peep-hole and chain onto the door, put up shelves and blinds so that I could unpack properly and draw the curtains that evening - I couldn't have done it without him and would recommend him to everyone!"
Jacqui, West Hampstead

"Thank you for doing such a great job in our home....we will definately recommend you to any of our friends/neighbours and and if you need references please do not hesitate to use us we'd be delighted. We wish you every success with your business and no doubt will be in touch soon."
Mr & Mrs O'Hare, NW6

"The work done for me yesterday was excellent and all undertaken in such a friendly yet workmanlike way. I shall certainly recommend your company to other people. Thank you and please thank the Fix-it Man again for me."
Ms Turner, SE1

PRESS ARTICLES

All I want for Christmas... is someone to do it all for me! Daily Mail 7th December 2011

My resident DIY man (husband, Tom!) often goes on strike in the run up to Christmas. But this year, I won't need to do any nagging to get things done because there's a new man on the block - Scott Newman, from Fix-It Man, an agency that sends out handy-men to do whatever needs doing. At this time of year, they are in huge demand to help with all those seasonal DIY chores from putting up exterior lighting to erecting Christmas trees or mending the broken blind in the spare room before the guests arrive.

Heroic Tale 18.07.2007

Q: What’s strong, sure and fresh from the fight?

A: Fix-it Man.

This particular hero is just an honest bloke committed to solving DIY crime in Central London. No job is too small, apparently, for this pink T-shirt-clad DIY master and his team. He’ll deal with anything from grouting or radiator bleeding to assembling flatpack furniture or installing a washing machine. Taking a tip from fellow heroes, he doesn’t require a call-out charge. Fees are calculated on a half-hourly basis, from £30.

Founded by Scott Newman (one-time PA to the Duchess of York, don’t you know), Fix-it Man is refreshingly efficient and polite; he won’t leave a mess and doesn’t require tea or biscuits.

He may lack some spider senses, and he won’t arrive in a Batmobile.

But at least there’s no more holding out ’til the morning light.

"Now, I am sure you have all been in the same situation as I have at some point or another. You have a few odd-jobs that need to be done around the house. The trouble is, they are all the piddly, fiddly things that really don't warrant calling in various tradesmen to deal with, and even if you did, the costs attached would be prohibitive. So, you make a pact with yourself, or in my case, my other half agreed "to sort it out at the weekend". Before you know it, several months of weekends have passed, the couple of jobs have turned into a list as long as your arm and the tension in the house is rising....read more

'Sisters aren't doing it for themselves'

Get Your Fix:

For all of us time-poor DIY incapables floating about with wonky shelves and blinds still waiting to be hung, these painful jobs can now be fixed without you moving a muscle thanks to Fix-it Man.

Fix-it Man was set up two years ago by Scott Newman who previously worked for the Duchess of York as her PA/logistic manager, and now employs a team of smart, uniformed handymen who drive around London in branded vans, all tools intact. I was lucky enough to get Scott to my flat for a couple of hours to put up a shower door that had been abandoned, still in its packaging, behind my dining table since I moved in...just a couple of years ago. It took Scott about 30 minutes or less to put up the shower door. Next he fitted a lock in my bathroom door that needed cutting down to size (and managed to fit perfectly even though I'd screwed the door handles on embarrassingly badly - the first of my many DIY crimes). Next he screwed in some curtain tie-back hooks to the bedroom wall, that I had again messed up.

All the Fix-it Man handymen are taught to be quick and efficient, offering value fro money (and no tea and biscuits required, they say). There are no call-out fees and charges are calculated on a half-hourly basis (£30 for the first half hour and £20 for each half hour thereafter). It's a fantastic service, with friendly, smart, professional staff, who'll sort out all those annoying jobs in less time than you could finish reading the instructions. Five stars to them.

HANDYMEN superheroes are helping damsels in distress to fight DIY crimes in Haringey.

Fix-it Man Ltd, which is based in Bryanstone Road, Crouch End, promises to whiz around your home fixing anything from leaking taps to flat pack furniture.

The business was the brainchild of Scott Newman, 30, who used to work with the Duchess of York.

He said: "I used to organise travel for the Duchess and I helped to look after Beatrice. I used to go on holiday with them and I met the whole family. They're absolutely lovely. What you read in the papers is totally different:'Scott started up the service as a result of meeting his future wife, Camilla. When they met, Camilla and her sister were living in a flat in Highgate, but no tradesmen were interested in fix ing a broken cupboard door or putting up blinds.

Scott added: "There was no one to call to get these jobs done, so I thought there's a niche market here:'

Fix-It Man was born a year ago, and it has already featured on First Time Buyers on UKTV Style offering advice about home improvements.
New Zealand-born Scott added: "Everyone we go to says how glad they are to have found us."
