Your Local Handyman in Reading & Berkshire

Since 2001, SKWorks has been the go-to handyman for homeowners across Reading and Berkshire who want the job done properly the first time. I'm not a large faceless company with teams of apprentices — when you book SKWorks, you get me, Raj, with over 25 years of hands-on trade experience on every single job.

And yes — no job is too small. I'm just as happy fixing a single dripping tap or hanging a mirror as I am building bespoke oak shelving or welding a garden gate. If it needs doing properly, I'll do it. No job gets turned away because it's not big enough.

Whether you need a leaking tap fixed, fence panels replaced after a storm, a TV mounted on a plasterboard wall, a flat pack wardrobe assembled, or a completely bespoke piece of oak shelving designed and fitted — I cover the full range of property maintenance and home improvement work that homeowners in Reading need done.

I'm fully insured, CIS registered, and I don't charge a call out fee. Free quote, honest pricing, and a tradesman who turns up on time and leaves the job clean.

Not sure if your job is big enough? Just send me a photo on WhatsApp — 07814 805652 — and I'll give you a straight answer within the hour.
