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 Rendall
Rendall is a rural parish on the northern coast of the Orkney Mainland, situated between Evie to the west and the Bay of Firth to the east.
The parish is characterised by gentle farmland sloping down to the shore, with views across to the islands of Rousay, Gairsay, and Wyre.
Rendall has a small primary school, a community hall, and a handful of scattered settlements, but it is otherwise a quiet agricultural area where farming and the rhythms of the land define daily life.
The coast here offers sheltered bays and easy access to the water, and the proximity to Finstown and Kirkwall means services are within a short drive.
About Orkney
(opens in new tab)Orkney is an archipelago of around 70 islands off the north coast of mainland Scotland, separated from Caithness by the Pentland Firth — one of the most powerful tidal races in Europe.
Of those 70 islands, roughly 20 are inhabited, and most of the population of around 22,000 lives on the largest island, known simply as the Mainland, where the towns of Kirkwall and Stromness serve as the administrative and cultural centres.
Orkney's history stretches back over 5,000 years. The Heart of Neolithic Orkney — a UNESCO World Heritage Site comprising Skara Brae, Maeshowe, the Ring of Brodgar, and the Stones of Stenness — represents some of the best-preserved prehistoric sites anywhere in northern Europe. The islands were under Norse rule for around 600 years, and that Scandinavian heritage remains visible in place names, dialect, and culture.
The islands are reached by ferry from Scrabster and Aberdeen, and by air from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Inverness. Orkney's economy is built on agriculture, fishing, renewable energy, whisky, and tourism, and the islands have a quality of life consistently rated among the highest in Scotland.
