👋 Meet Ian Croasdell – Your Local Handyman in Swindon

Founder of Handyman Plus Van 🚐🛠️

Looking for a reliable, skilled, and down-to-earth handyman in Swindon? You've found him. I'm Ian Croasdell — the man, the van, and the toolbox behind Handyman Plus Van, here to make your property jobs simple, sorted, and stress-free.

🔨 A Life Built on Fixing Things

My journey started early — at 14, I built my first kitchen as a gift for my mum. Since then, I’ve worked across roofs, solar systems, and now focus on what I love most: working with my hands and helping real people get real results.

I’ve hung doors, built wardrobes, fitted kitchens, painted, plumbed, tiled, floored, and done just about everything you can imagine with wood, screws, and a bit of clever thinking.

🧰 What I Do (a.k.a. The Never-Ending List)

Whether it’s a leaky tap, a fitted wardrobe, or a full-on room transformation, I’m your guy. My most-requested services include:

• Carpentry & Joinery (doors, wardrobes, sheds, pergolas, fences)
  
  

• Flat Roofing (no sloped roofs, sorry — I'm too old for circus acts)
  
  

• Kitchen & Bathroom Fitting
  
  

• Painting, Tiling, Flooring, Plaster Repairs
  
  

• Damp Repairs & DIY Rescue Jobs
  
  

• Garden Gates, Patios, General Building
  
  

• Rubbish Removal (yes, I’m licensed)
  
  

• Small Odd Jobs (bulbs, locks, curtain rails, flat-pack hell…)
  
  

I operate as a one-man band with a van, so what you see is what you get: No subcontractors, no confusion — just me, my tools, and years of experience.

💚 Why I Do It

I believe in good service, fair pricing, and doing right by my community. I offer flexible bookings, sometimes even evenings or weekends — especially for:

• Schools
  
  

• Hospitals
  
  

• Disabled Customers
  
  

My mum was a nurse, and I always promised myself I’d give back to the people who give so much to others.

🌍 Sustainability Matters

I care about the planet. I reuse where possible, avoid waste, and always dispose of rubbish legally. If I can fix it instead of skip it — I will.
