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 Forfar
Forfar is the county town of Angus, sitting at the centre of the Strathmore valley about 14 miles north of Dundee.
The town has a long history as an administrative and market centre - a royal burgh since the 12th century, with Forfar Castle once a favoured residence of Scottish kings.
Forfar Loch Country Park on the western edge of town provides a popular green space, and the loch itself was used to trial the world's first practical steamboat by William Symington in the 1780s.
The town is perhaps best known nationally for the Forfar bridie, a meat pastry that has been made here since at least the 19th century and remains closely associated with the area.
Forfar has a full range of shops, schools, and services, and acts as the main service centre for a wide rural hinterland across central Angus.

About Angus
Angus is a council area on the east coast of Scotland, stretching from the North Sea shoreline inland through the fertile Strathmore valley to the high ground of the Angus Glens and the fringes of the Cairngorms.
Forfar is the county town and administrative centre, while Arbroath on the coast is the largest settlement — a town with deep historical significance as the place where the Declaration of Arbroath was signed in 1320.
The area divides naturally into three bands: the coastal strip with its harbours, beaches, and golf links; the broad agricultural plain of Strathmore running through the middle; and the Highland glens — Clova, Prosen, Isla, Esk, and Lethnot — that reach northward into the mountains.
Angus has a strong identity shaped by farming, fishing, and food — the Arbroath smokie and the Forfar bridie are both nationally recognised, and the soft fruit industry around Blairgowrie and Strathmore has been a mainstay for generations.
Transport links include the main east coast rail line serving Arbroath, Carnoustie, and Montrose, the A90 dual carriageway connecting Dundee to Aberdeen, and a network of rural roads that reach into some of the most scenic and least-visited parts of Highland Scotland.
