About Handymen
A handyman tackles the odd jobs that don't warrant a specialist - hanging doors, assembling furniture, fixing fences, patching walls, and all the small tasks that accumulate in any home.
Useful, reliable, and genuinely hard to find.
Be clear about what you need done before they arrive - a list of jobs is more efficient than deciding on the day.
About Ellon
Ellon is a thriving town on the River Ythan roughly sixteen miles north of Aberdeen. Historically a market town and the seat of the Earls of Buchan, it has grown substantially in recent decades, driven largely by the oil and gas industry.
The town centre has a good selection of shops, restaurants and professional services. Ellon has multiple primary schools, a secondary school, a health centre, a leisure centre and a library. The Castle Gardens provide an attractive green space in the centre of town.
Ellon is known for being home to BrewDog, the craft brewery that grew from a small local operation into an international brand. The surrounding countryside includes the Ythan Estuary, an important nature reserve.

About Aberdeenshire
Aberdeenshire is one of the largest council areas in Scotland, wrapping around the city of Aberdeen in a broad arc that stretches from the Cairngorms in the west to the North Sea coast in the east, and from the Angus border in the south to the Moray Firth in the north.
The region is extraordinarily varied: Royal Deeside — the valley of the River Dee running west from Aberdeen through Banchory, Aboyne, Ballater, and Braemar — is one of Scotland's most celebrated landscapes, closely associated with the royal family through Balmoral Castle. The Donside valley to the north offers a quieter, equally attractive alternative.
The north-east coast has a distinctive character shaped by centuries of fishing, with harbours at Peterhead, Fraserburgh, Macduff, and a string of smaller ports that once landed vast quantities of herring and white fish. Peterhead remains one of the busiest fishing ports in Europe, and the coastal towns retain a strong working identity.
Inland, the rolling farmland of Buchan, the Garioch, and the Mearns supports a productive agricultural economy. Market towns like Inverurie, Ellon, Huntly, and Turriff serve as local centres for their surrounding districts, and many have grown significantly as commuter settlements for Aberdeen.
The North Sea oil and gas industry transformed the region's economy from the 1970s onward, bringing prosperity and population growth to towns within commuting distance of Aberdeen. That legacy continues in the energy transition, with Aberdeenshire positioning itself at the centre of Scotland's renewable energy future.
