Odd Jobs in Cambridge
Shelves, pictures, flat-pack, curtain poles, fixings, fans and the whole to-do list.
Most homes carry a quiet backlog of small jobs: the picture that never went up, the wobbly shelf, the curtain pole still in its box, the door that catches on the carpet. Individually none of them feels worth a tradesperson's visit, so they sit on the list for months. Our odd-jobs service exists precisely for that list, turning an afternoon of little frustrations into a tidy home you can enjoy again.
Across Cambridge and the surrounding villages we handle the everyday repairs and small installations that keep a property comfortable and looking cared for. We arrive with the tools and fixings already in the van, work cleanly around your home, and tick off as many items as the time allows rather than charging a call-out for each one.
What our odd jobs service includes
Every property and every job is a little different, but a typical odd jobs booking with us covers work such as:
- Hanging shelves, mirrors, pictures and floating units, level and secure
- Flat-pack assembly for wardrobes, beds, desks and storage
- Fitting curtain poles, blinds, tracks and pelmets
- Replacing handles, hinges, catches and door furniture
- Mounting TVs, fitting ceiling fans and light fittings
- Sealing baths and sinks, fitting cat flaps and draught excluders
- Adjusting sticking doors, drawers and kitchen units
- Small fixings, repairs and the jobs that never quite get done
Not sure whether your particular job fits? Just ask. If it is something we cannot help with ourselves, we will usually be able to point you towards someone trustworthy who can.

Odd Jobs across Cambridge and beyond
We are based in Cambridge and cover every town and village within roughly 35 miles, so wherever you are in the region you have a local handyman within easy reach for odd jobs. That includes Ely, Newmarket, St Ives, St Neots, Huntingdon, Godmanchester and many more besides — you can see the full list of areas we cover or jump straight to your nearest town.
Because we work across the whole area week in and week out, we understand the local housing — from period cottages and Victorian terraces to new-build estates and converted barns — and we tailor the work to suit the property rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Odd Jobs: your questions answered
Do you take on very small jobs?
Yes. No job is too small. If it is on your list we will happily fit it into a visit, and it is usually cheaper to batch several small tasks into one appointment.
Will you bring the materials?
We carry common fixings, brackets and consumables. For specific items such as a particular blind or shelf we will tell you what to buy, or pick them up for you by arrangement.
Can you give a price before you start?
For a known list we can give a clear estimate. For mixed odd jobs we usually work by the hour and keep you updated, so there are no surprises.
