Serving Marlborough & surrounding villages  ·  Free travel within 20 minutes
One simple rate for everything

Simple, honest prices — no surprises

Whether Zol is fixing a tap, laying a floor, or sitting beside you sorting an online bill, the rate is the same. One visit can mix both — half an hour on the leaky sink, half an hour on the laptop — and you pay one simple price.

Hourly visits

£40 first hour

£35 an hour after that

Handyman jobs, computer help, paperwork — all the same rate. Most small jobs and tech sessions fit in one or two hours.

A full day

£240 per day

Around 8 hours on site — better value than hourly when you've a list of jobs to work through. Perfect for "while you're here, could you also…" days.

Bigger projects

Free written quote

Kitchens, bathrooms, wood floors, decking, landscaping. Zol visits, listens, and gives you a clear written price — fixed before any work starts, no obligation to go ahead.

Travel

Within 25 minutes of Marlborough — travel is free. Between 25 and 40 minutes, Zol adds a small petrol contribution, and he'll tell you exactly what it is when you book — never afterwards.

The small print — in plain English

  • The minimum visit is one hour. After the first hour, time is charged in half-hours — so a 90-minute job costs £57.50, not £75.
  • Materials cost extra, at cost. If Zol buys parts or materials for your job, you pay what he paid — receipts shown, nothing added on top.
  • No call-out fee, and quotes are always free. The clock starts when the work starts.
  • One visit can mix anything. Tap first, laptop second — it's all the same hourly rate. You don't pay twice for two kinds of help.
  • These prices cover weekday daytimes. Evenings and weekends are often possible — just ask, and any difference is agreed before Zol comes out.
  • Payment is after the job, by cash or bank transfer — and only once you're happy.
  • Family and neighbours can arrange and pay on someone's behalf. Many do.
  • Prices correct as of July 2026.
