By now we hope that you have the assurance that every one of our handy men and ladies has been personally assessed by us, and that we monitor their performance, as we do with all our other trades. That way, when you ask for a Handyman Quote from us, 
you already know that they know what they are about.
But we also believe that there is more to choosing a handyman than simply that, and this is why we recommend that you get several quotes and interview all three. The chemistry must be right between the two of you, and they must fit in with your lifestyle as well – or else there could be unintended distractions.
o Will they get on with Rover? Dogs are supposed to mistrust strangers and can refuse to be friends with anybody they don’t like. In fact when I had a lot to do with London Handyman Services some years ago, I always let my Bulldog Winston be the judge of character. If he licked and snuffled I knew the handyperson would be okay. If not, why then I took the dog’s advice, and I must say he never let he down.
o Do they Smoke (If you do not? I don’t know about you, but ever since I gave up smoking, I have found the smell that hangs around even non-smoking smokers pretty offensive. If you feel this way too, then you have the right to make your own decision – in fact you could even add non-smokers preferred to your requirements.
o Is the Handyman a Missionary? I’m not taking about religion here, in fact I’m talking about any 
point of view that some people like to hammer in to me as if it were a nail. It’s quite easy to detect too – just ask the leading question what you do in your spare time towards the end of the interview, and then see where the conversation rolls. I’ve personally never understood why I should pay to be converted to some other person’s of view.
I thought I’d share these ideas with you on the subject of how best to Find a Handyman that suits you best. I’ve found from my experience that if I, the dog and a service provider don’t get on famously, then the quality of the job could suffer, which is the last thing we want to see happen at Mr-Skill.
