Agree with everything you said about the role of the handyman.We meet the needs of many householders. If you limit the range of tasks that you carry out to those you can do safely and well, there will always be a customer base for you. Mutual respect is important. If I detect a lack of respect before work has begun, I'll make my excuses and walk away. As for poor quality workmanship and customer service from some of our single trade colleagues .... don't get me started!

Thanks for this Mark.

I had a plumber personal message me, saying I was taking work from him, and we lived in different towns...???
