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 Montrose
Montrose is a coastal town at the mouth of the South Esk, roughly midway between Dundee and Aberdeen, with a distinctive position between the open sea and a large tidal basin.
Montrose Basin is a 750-hectare tidal lagoon designated as a local nature reserve and managed by the Scottish Wildlife Trust - it attracts tens of thousands of migrating pink-footed geese each autumn and is one of the best birdwatching sites in eastern Scotland.
The town has a fine wide high street, a strong Georgian core, and a history tied to trade, fishing, and more recently the North Sea oil industry.
Montrose has a railway station on the main Aberdeen line, a leisure centre, independent shops, and a broad range of services serving both the town and a large rural catchment to the north and west.

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.
