Frequently asked questions
What does an assessment cost?
Nothing. I come and look at the job, or we talk it through from photos on WhatsApp, and you get the price before anything starts.
Do you speak English?
Yes. I am an English-speaking handyman based in Bucharest, so calls, WhatsApp messages and the job itself all work fine in English.
Do you do electrical work?
Yes. I am a certified electrician, so I do the installation as well: new runs, circuits, the consumer unit and light fittings, not just swapping a fitting on an existing point.
Can the price change along the way?
No, unless something turns up that could not be seen at the assessment — loose plaster under wallpaper, for example. In that case I tell you then, not at the end.
Which areas do you cover?
All six sectors of Bucharest and the nearby Ilfov towns: Voluntari, Popești-Leordeni, Chiajna, Bragadiru, Otopeni, Pantelimon, Dobroești, Chitila.
