I’m John Apetri, a handyman based in Swansea with over 10 years of experience working on homes and everyday repairs.
I help with a range of jobs, including plumbing issues like leaks or blocked drains, painting and decorating work, lock problems, and general maintenance around the house.
Most jobs around the house start small, but they don’t stay that way.
A leak, a lock issue, or something that doesn’t look right can quickly turn into a bigger problem if it’s left too long. The goal is simple – deal with it properly, early, and without making it complicated.
I focus on the kind of work people need done every day, from quick fixes to jobs that take a bit more time. Each one is handled the same way: understand the problem, explain what’s needed, and sort it properly so it doesn’t come back.
If something in your home isn’t working as it should, it’s usually worth getting it checked before it turns into something bigger.
Leaks, blocked drains, or pipes that stop working can quickly cause damage if they’re left too long. I help identify the issue and fix it properly so everything works as it should again.
From refreshing a room to fixing areas that don’t look right, I handle painting and decorating work with proper preparation and a clean, even finish.
If you’re locked out or dealing with a faulty lock, I help restore access and make sure everything is secure and working properly again.
