MartinWorks

I am Martin Bates: MartinWorks.

I have always believed that if, as most of us do, one must work for a living, it is better to do something one enjoys doing than not. After almost 30 years making a career exploring my interest in wine, two redundancies in close succession have led me to become my own boss and seek a living exploring other interests. I am able to offer a wide range of handyman services, the things which need doing but do not require the expensive services of a specialist. I try hard to keep ahead of the game on sustainability and am always keen to explore the ‘green, greener and greenest’ options of any job. In the long run this is often the cheapest way forward too.

I do not drive, which means I am limited in the areas I can cover by cycle – with a trailer for bulky tools, and public transport.
