Is it really the time of year?

Silver Saints - London handyman service. We have noticed a change in routine of late, usually Monday is our busiest day on the phones and as a result we take more bookings on a Monday than any other day. But Monday bookings have slowed down and every other day of the week has picked up.

Having been in the pro handyman industry for 5 years I have witnessed the continuous trend of high bookings Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and then a decrease in bookings on Thursday and Friday but something has happened that has turned this ever reliable routine on its head and we seem to be taking far higher bookings towards the end of the week than ever before. We originally thought it was the time of year that was having the affect and things were generally slowing down as everyone recovers from the financial hang over from December but this does not add up as the average bookings taken Monday to Friday has not gone down it just been reversed. We have a few theories on this but none of them are certain and I wonder what has changed that has made a consistent trend that makes perfect sense change completely.

Abseiling handymen

One of our handymen was recently asked by a customer to find a way to stop pigeons from landing on the external pipe work on the third floor of her triple story house. This is quite a common problem and is usually solved by fitting bird proofing or pigeon spikes to the pipes. The only problem was that the customer had built a large conservatory onto the back of the property preventing us from using ladders to get up to the 3rd floor so we had put our thinking caps on to find an alternative solution.

Having done a bit of amature indoor climbing recently and with help of our experienced climber and handyman Manfred we were able to come up with a rather unusual solution to abseil from the 3rd floor balcony down to the pipes that require bird proofing.

This is just another example of how everyone here at Silver Saints - London's premier handyman service take pride in thinking outside of the box to come up with solutions that allow us to take on jobs that no other handyman service in London will touch.

Draught Proofing

Silver Saints offer a comprehensive and effective draught proofing service. I know that I have definitely felt the chill set in in London over the past couple of weeks and doom and gloom weather reports confirm this. That's why I think there is probably not a better time to get your windows draught proofed. Its is also a good way of giving new life to your old rattly sash windows at a reasonable price.

We offer a fixed price of £95+vat per window which includes all the labour and materials and if needed we will also change your sash cords in the process for an extra £8+vat per window.
