About Richard Swann
Professional Handyman & Gardening Services
I offer professional and reliable handyman services in Bath and the surrounding villages, plus general gardening services and repairs to keep it looking neat and tidy
I moved to beautiful Bath (Fairfield Park) from the East of England, where I worked as a self-employed domestic Carpenter for over 20 years, gaining expansive multi-trade experience during that time. In 2000, I left working in a corporate job to study for a year at the International Boatbuilding Training College in Lowestoft to study the design and construction of timber boats; I'm proud to have achieved Distinctions in all my exams. This opened the doorway to my life as a carpenter, and subsequently as a handyman and gardener!
I operate as a sole-trader and all work is completed by me - I take pride in completing work to the highest standard possible for all my customers. I am always willing to provide advice as to how best achieve the outcome you're after. I hold a DBS Certificate and Public Liability insurance.
I can charge hourly or daily rates, or provide fixed prices for larger jobs.
Please feel free to contact me to discuss your handyman home repair or gardening needs further.
