Founder of Handyman Plus Van. I’m Ian — the man, the van, and the toolbox behind Handyman Plus Van. I keep things simple, professional, and stress‑free so your home jobs get done properly.
I started young — at 14 I built my first kitchen for my mum. Since then I’ve worked across roofs, solar, and property maintenance, and now focus on what I enjoy most: skilled hands‑on work for real people.
I work alone — no subcontractors, no confusion. It’s just me, my tools, and years of experience.
I believe in good service, fair pricing, and doing right by my community. I offer flexible bookings when possible, especially for schools, hospitals, and disabled customers.
I reuse where possible and avoid waste. If I can fix it instead of skip it — I will.
For safety and licensing, I don’t take on gas or electrical work, gardening, pitched roofs, tip runs/rubbish removal, toilet soil pipes, or clearing brown water drains. I specialize in flat roofs only. Maximum ladder height is 5 metres. Maximum lift is 15 kg. I work alone.
