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.
