Handyman & Small Jobs in Canterbury
No job too small — repairs, odd jobs and the little fixes around the home, done properly by a team you can trust.
Handyman & Small Jobs in Canterbury
Looking for handyman & small jobs in Canterbury? Active Renovations delivers handyman & small jobs for homeowners across Canterbury and the surrounding area, with the same quality, fixed pricing and guaranteed workmanship we're known for in Ashford.
Not every job needs a full renovation team — sometimes you just need a reliable, skilled pair of hands for the small stuff. We happily take on the repairs and odd jobs that other firms turn down, across Ashford and the wider Kent area: the dripping tap, the door that sticks, the shelf that needs putting up properly.
Canterbury ranges from listed and period properties near the city centre to family homes in Wincheap, Hales Place and the surrounding villages. We take a careful, sympathetic approach to older and conservation-area homes while delivering bang up-to-date kitchens, bathrooms and extensions.

Questions
Handyman & Small Jobs in Canterbury — FAQs
Can't find what you're looking for? Call us on the number above — we're happy to help.
Ask a questionIs no job really too small?
Genuinely — if it is bugging you, we will sort it. We would rather help with the small things and build a relationship than turn good people away. Many clients keep a little list and we work through it in one visit.
How do you charge for small jobs?
For most small jobs we will give you a simple fixed price up front so there are no surprises. For a list of bits and pieces, an hourly or half-day rate often works out better — we will tell you which is best for your job before we start.
Can a small job lead to a bigger project?
Often it does. Plenty of our kitchens, bathrooms and extensions began with a quick repair. There is no pressure at all — but if you do decide to do more, you already know the team and can trust the work.
Are you insured for small jobs too?
Yes. Every job, large or small, is covered by our full public liability insurance and backed by the same workmanship guarantee.
What kinds of jobs do you take on?
All the everyday bits and pieces — flat-pack assembly, shelves and mirrors, sticking doors, dripping taps, sealant renewal, filling and touch-up decorating, minor tiling repairs and general maintenance. If you are not sure whether something is up our street, just ask.
Can you come and look before quoting?
Yes. For anything beyond the obvious we are happy to pop round, see the job and give you a clear price, so you know what you are paying before we lift a tool.
