Can anybody please recommend a trusty Handyman who I can trust to do a good job at a price that is fair for both of us? I have a small house in Oswaldtwistle that needs some repair work carried out, I let it out at the moment so I cannot be there to check out the work, there is a tenent there at the moment so who`ever does the work must be trustworthy...Many Thank`s

Does Simon decorate as well.  Want someone to decorate who is not going to charge the earth, can strip the paper and paint myself, just want some paper putting up.

Cheapest person is you!
Give it a go sara!
Not that difficult. Preparations the worst part!
Quite rewarding to look at the finished job and say "I did that". Then you can buy yourself a reward with the money you've saved!

Try Simon on 01254 395285. Well-mannered, honest, trustworthy and hardworking. Get him to give you a quote.

Hello Sara,
I don't think Simon does decorating, but you could definitely try calling Pots and Patterns on 01254 872029. Good prices and decent work, I don't think it'd be a problem for him to do just the papering if you want to do the rest, but ask for a quote for the whole lot, it might be worthwhile.
Hope that helps!
