FixRight Job confirmation One-Hour Fix Visit · from USD 85
Four jobs, Thursday morning, one of them refused
Manchester. What the technician will do, and the one on your list he is not allowed to touch.
Four of your five jobs are booked for Thursday morning with Danny Whelan. The fifth, moving the kitchen socket, is not something a handyman may do here, and clause 02 explains what it actually needs.
Thursday 8 October, 09:00 to 10:00, one hour with Danny Whelan. Shelf, blind, door and flat pack accepted. Moving the kitchen socket is notifiable electrical work in a kitchen and needs a registered electrician, so it has been removed and you have been sent two local names at no charge.

The list
What Danny will do
| Task | Detail | Estimated |
|---|---|---|
| Shelf, alcove, living room | 1.2 m, into plaster over brick. Fixings in van stock | 20 min |
| Roller blind, back bedroom | Into timber reveal. Bring the blind, he brings the fixings | 10 min |
| Bathroom door, sticking | Ease and adjust, probably the hinge rather than the door | 15 min |
| Flat pack bedside table | Assembled, packaging removed | 15 min |
| Total | 60 min. Tight but realistic |
If the shelf turns out to be going into something other than brick, that job alone can double. Danny will tell you at the time rather than quietly running over, and you decide whether to extend or drop something.
| Access | Detail |
|---|---|
| Arrival | 09:00. He texts when he is ten minutes away |
| Parking | Residents' zone. You said a visitor permit will be out |
| Someone home | Yes, you are working from home |
| Pets | One cat, nervous. Will be shut in the back bedroom until the blind job |
| Power and water | Both available |
Refused
Why the socket came off the list
You asked for a kitchen socket to be moved about 40 cm along the wall. This is not a FixRight job and the reason is regulatory rather than cautious.
| Position | |
|---|---|
| What it is | A new circuit position in a kitchen |
| Why it matters | Kitchens are a special location. This is notifiable work under Part P |
| What it needs | A registered electrician who can self-certify, or building control notification |
| What you get | A certificate. You will want it when you sell the house |
| What a handyman doing it gets you | No certificate, a problem at sale, and possibly an insurance issue |
| What we did | Sent you two registered local electricians. No fee, no commission |
| Also outside scope | Who you need |
|---|---|
| Anything gas, including moving a hob | A Gas Safe registered engineer |
| Consumer unit, new circuits, anything notifiable | A registered electrician |
| Removing or altering a structural wall | A structural engineer and building control |
| Roof work above one storey | A roofer with access equipment |
| Anything with suspected asbestos | Stop. A licensed surveyor |
