About
If you want reliable local tradesmen that get what you need done on time and on schedule, you’re in the right place. We are the trusted local handyman service in St Austell and wider area.
So why did we start St Austell Handyman?
We’ll be the first to admit, sometimes “dreckly” just doesn’t cut it! We love the Cornish lifestyle but soon realised that there was a gap in the market for reliable and consistent handyman support for the local area. We want to remove the anxiety from booking and arranging work by providing a top quality service, using local tradesmen who love what they do! We train, develop and manage our team of handymen to provide our local community with the consistent home improvement service they deserve.
Meet the team
Sam | Founder
Sam created waves in 2023 when he started St Austell Handyman, St Austell’s first digital quoting handyman service. With over 13 years of experience in high end property renovation, Sam’s extensive background spans various construction trades, from laying foundations all the way through to finish carpentry.
Sam’s level of knowledge, wealth of experience, attention to detail, punctuality and organising skills were of short supply, resulting in rapid growth of St Austell handyman.
Sam has developed the business from humble beginnings where he completed the work solely himself but soon realised the demand was increasing and he needed computer systems and reliable staff that would keep his customers happy and not let things become a disorganised mess!
Thanks to Sam’s perseverance, St Austell Handyman now has a live booking schedule, managing a wide range of jobs for clients across the area.
A hub of ideas and vision, Sam is continually driving St Austell Handyman forward, developing new services and innovative ways to improve your experience with us!
Sam’s aim is to create a service he is able to one day use himself, and take some well deserved time off!
Outside of work, Sam loves to explore his Cornish home; He is often found exploring the coastal path, on foot, bike or kayak while scouting new fishing locations in the St Austell bay area. And, (on occasion!), sitting in one of his favourite pubs!
Ruby | Business Development Manager
As head of sales and communication, Ruby is responsible for answering your calls and managing our social media. She is also our website lead. Thankfully she is a sponge for learning, so anything which is outside of her capacity doesn’t stay that way for long. She’s fast becoming the backbone of the success of St Austell Handyman.
Ruby has just completed a BSc in plant science from the Eden project university centre (Don’t worry, we are launching a gardening service ASAP!) as well as comprehensive marketing and PR experience across a range of industries including education, retail, food and drink and everything in between.
Thanks to Ruby, Sam has been kept on track and encouraged to achieve his goals!
When not monitoring social media accounts, and taking calls, Ruby will be spending time with her family out in the Cornish countryside, or gardening, and being kept busy by our Bordoodle – Elsa!
Elsa | Chief Morale Officer
Meet Elsa, the fluffiest member of the St Austell Handyman team! With her wagging tail and endless enthusiasm, Elsa brings a smile to everyday.
Outside of work, Elsa is often found on Par beach playing with her friends.
Why Choose St Austell Handyman
Our dedicated team is ready to take on your TO-DO list, leaving you free to focus on what’s important to you.
When it comes to home improvement and repair services, St Austell Handyman stands out for several reasons. First and foremost, communication is key. We pride ourselves on maintaining clear communication and transparency with you throughout every service we provide.
Life can be hectic, so we’ve made sure our booking system is user-friendly and flexible. You can reschedule or cancel at any time to fit your busy schedule. Plus, our dedicated phone line is open from 9 am to 5 pm during the week for any questions or support you might need.
We’ve earned recognition and support from those who initially trusted us as the new kids on the block, as well as from our growing base of loyal customers. Their trust and positive feedback are the highest endorsements we could ask for.
Additionally, our director, Sam Evans, brings over a decade of experience in high-end property renovation and various construction trades. As a self-proclaimed perfectionist, Sam ensures that our team possesses the knowledge and skills necessary to deliver high-quality results every time.
We also understand the frustration of waiting for a service provider who never shows up. At St Austell Handyman, we value your time and adhere to strict schedules. Our live booking system ensures you can easily book appointments at your convenience, and you can count on us to be there as promised.
Last but not least, St Austell has been listed as one of the most deprived areas in Cornwall. There are not enough opportunities in the area that provide year-round work and training. From handyman work to administration, we are working towards providing full time employment and training opportunities for local people.
We are redefining the local service landscape by delivering exceptional workmanship and seamless customer service, making us the trusted home maintenance and improvement provider in the area.
