I can thoroughly recommend Colin. He always arrives when he says he will and goes the extra mile to complete the job. He has done several ‘odd jobs’ for us. Really glad we found him!

Colin helped with a number of bitty odd jobs around the house, from putting up shelves and pictures to fixing a toilet seat and draft excluders for the doors. Colin is really nice man, and very helpful and approachable. Everything he has done in the house has been to a really high standard and I would totally recommend him to anybody. More...

Colin is a nice guy who offers great services at a very reasonable price. Had a few jobs done and he even managed to fix my lamp too. I would deffianatly recommend Colin for any jobs big or small. And I'm sure I will use his services again. Get behind these small businesses rather than feeding the giants Was really nice to meet you Colin, thanks again. More...

Can't rate Colin highly enough! He quickly and efficently sorted out my poor, broken down old curtain poles and worked his magic on an annoying sticking door. Friendly with a wealth of practical knowledge, Colin is a one in a million. More...

Brilliant guy, pretty much no job too small for him, he has helped us with blinds, fixing our back door to putting up a wooden swing set for the kids.

What do you love most about your job?
The job satisfaction more than anything else.
Knowing that the client is happy with the help i've given.
There's no better feeling finishing a job and its spot on.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I had been a taxi driver since 1982 and back in the day I made a very good living working a few hours and making a good living.
Over the last 5 years or so I found I was working a lot more hours for less money so i decided enough is enough I need to do something else away from the taxi game.
For many years I’ve helped friends and relatives and their friends with oddjobs around their houses and gardens and I thought maybe I could make a living at it.
Hence Oddjob Colin, since starting officially in June, not only have I lost over 3 stone in weight, simply because I wasn’t sat on my backside all night and eating at 2’0clock in the morning, but I have found that I’m getting an amazing amount of job satisfaction, helping people with their Odd Jobs.
I am making a reasonable living at the moment and enjoying everything I do.
