Chris has done a fantastic job of decorating my stairs, hallways and landing. Top quality finish and tidy worker throughout. Will definitely use him again for other work I need done and would recommend to anyone who's looking for a handyman.

We had a utility room fitted with expertise. This company was very reliable, clean, tidy and attention to detail. Would recommend this tradesman to anyone looking for any maintenance tasks.

Thank heavens for Chris and Inside Out maintenance. I'm disabled and unable now to do odd jobs, but a quick message to Chris and the job is done. He does a brilliant job and is such a lovely, helpful and patient man. So grateful to him.

We have lived here for 40 years plus. My husband was severely disabled, paralysed from the neck down. My goodness what a load of 'so-called professional trades persons' we have encountered over the years. But Chris can turn his hand to anything with success, and a job well done. 101% recommendation.
