What we do

Handyman and home repair services

Most homes have a list: the door that sticks, the socket that stopped working, the fence panel that blew loose, the bathroom seal that's gone mouldy. On their own they're small, but together they're the things you notice every day.

Because Acorn covers electrics, carpentry, kitchens, bathrooms and outdoor work, one visit can often clear several of them. You deal with one qualified, insured team rather than booking someone different for every item: a handyman service with a qualified electrician built in.

Local expertise

A local handyman service across Norwich

Older Norfolk homes collect small problems: doors that move with the seasons, timber that weathers quickly on exposed plots, and electrics that have been added to piecemeal over the years. Knowing local houses well means most repairs are diagnosed quickly and fixed properly first time.

    Electrical work tested and certified, every detail checked, and the space cleaned and handed back only when you're happy. Afterwards, you'll still speak to the same person who did the job.

Reviews

Trusted across Norfolk

Verified Google reviews from homeowners we've worked for.

“Phill has just come and completed 5 weeks work for us, in that time taking a complete shell to a stunning new bathroom, a revamped utility area and also fitted a new consumer unit for all our electrics, along with other jobs along the way. We can't recommend him highly enough - Phill took time to make sure of what we wanted, updating us regularly on the plan of works and thinking about all the big and small details to make sure things serve us well for many years to come. Phill is reliable, professional and friendly and will make sure things are finished just as you want. We have booked to have more work done very soon.”

Charlotte Harris Cook

Bathroom, utility and consumer unit

“We hired Acorn Electrical & Home Improvements to carry out some small building works at our barn conversion. Phillip and the team were punctual, diligent and professional over the 2-week project, even when faced with some nasty surprises from an old building. Super happy with the result, and we would have no hesitation in recommending them. We will be asking Phillip to quote for another project very soon.”

Carl West

Barn conversion building works

“Phil has done several different jobs for us over the last week. He replaced a wobbly gate post, designed and fitted a picket fence around a new flower bed, replaced the rotting pieces of wood in a tall fence having taken it to bits, replaced an outdoor electrical socket, and noticed some guttering was not working then fixed it. The main job he came to do was to re-clad 2 sides of a large shed with timber. He has great communication skills so we knew what to expect at all times, and he made sure we were happy at every stage. He came when he said he would, and actually finished the job ahead of schedule. He's friendly, trustworthy and easy to have around, and we have already booked him for another job before Christmas!”
