About Me
My name is John Tonks and I am the proprietor of Job Done Handyman.  I offer a complete property maintenance service for the home and garden. Updating any property to present day requirements can add substantial value, even in this market place.

I started my working life as a pilot officer in the RAF. My range of DIY skills have developed as a result of over 30 years experience in property maintenance, refurbishment and construction.  It is very important to deliver a high quality finish time after time whilst successfully operating to timelines. I am extremely customer focused after years in the retail and hospitality sectors and I fully understand the value of offering integrity, honesty and attention to detail.  Above all it is vital to understand customer requirements so that I can deliver exactly what is asked.  I have detailed below some of my experience to date.
