Small jobs with a defined scope

A loose shelf, sticking cupboard or unfinished trim can sit on the list for months. My Refresh welcomes enquiries for smaller improvements and repairs as well as larger carpentry projects. Start with a list of tasks and photographs so we can discuss suitability, the materials required and whether the jobs can sensibly be combined into a visit.

What to put on your job list

Typical enquiries include shelves, door or cupboard adjustments, minor carpentry repairs, trims, boxing-in and fitting selected household items. Tell us what the item is, where it will go and what the wall or surface is made from if known. A heavy shelf or wall-mounted item needs an appropriate fixing strategy; the right fittings are not always included in the packaging.

Useful information before a visit

Include your town or postcode, photographs of each task and any product links. Mention parking, access restrictions, stairs and whether you already have the materials. If a repair conceals more extensive damage, the work may need reassessment rather than being treated as a quick adjustment. Several clear tasks are easier to plan than an open-ended list on arrival.

Availability and limits

Work is accepted according to scope, location and availability. Urgent repair enquiries can be discussed, but no round-the-clock service or guaranteed emergency response is promised. Gas work, specialist electrical work and other regulated or specialist tasks must not be assumed to be included. Final scope and charges are agreed before booking.

Your questions, answered

Can I combine several small jobs?

Yes, send a clear list with photos. We can discuss what can be completed together and which materials or specialist input may be needed.

Do you offer emergency call-outs?

You can enquire about urgent repairs. Availability and suitability must be confirmed; this is not a guaranteed 24-hour response service.

Home improvements across Berkshire

Discuss your project in Thatcham, Newbury and surrounding West Berkshire villages or Wokingham, Winnersh, Finchampstead and nearby areas. Include your postcode so travel, availability and the scope of work can be confirmed.

Planning a project?

For standard doors, start with the online estimate. For other work, gather photos, dimensions and your postcode, then use the project planner to prepare your enquiry. Availability is confirmed before booking.
