A job worth doing is worth doing properly.
— Krystian's rule
I came to Leeds with a simple idea: do the work properly, charge a fair price, leave the place tidier than I found it. Years on, that's still the only rule that matters.
From a small workshop in Swarcliffe, I look after homes, landlords and small commercial sites across LS14 and the wider Leeds area. Awkward joinery that other people have given up on, a leaking toilet at 8am, a flat-pack wardrobe that won't sit straight — these are my favourite kinds of problems.
I speak English and Polish, so whether you'd rather chat in either one, you'll get the same straight answer: what it'll take, what it'll cost, when I can be there.
Quoted slot, kept slot. If something changes, you'll know first.
Caulk lines straight, screws hidden, edges sanded. The little stuff is the job.
Dust sheets down, off-cuts away, your place hoovered before I leave.
Most jobs need more than one skill — a leaky tap might need a tile re-fixed, a new door might need decorating round the frame. I bring the lot, so you don't have to chase three different trades.
Odd jobs, snagging lists, picture hanging, curtain poles, leaky taps, sticking doors. The small stuff that piles up.
Whole rooms, single walls, woodwork, ceilings, panelling and feature finishes. Crisp lines, no drips.
Doors, skirting, architraves, fitted shelving, alcove cabinets and the tricky stuff others won't touch.
Toilet repairs, dripping taps, basin and shower installs, isolating valves, simple pipe runs.
Light fittings, sockets, switches, ceiling roses and small remedial jobs — qualified contractor used for full re-wires.
Cracks, holes, doorknob dings, water damage patching and clean re-skim ready for paint.
IKEA, Wayfair, Amazon — wardrobes, beds, desks, kitchens. Built square, anchored where needed.
Cabinet installs, panelling, boxing in pipework, re-sealing, toilet and basin repairs.
Not sure which trade you need? Send a photo — I'll tell you straight.
Send a photo →Call, text or use the form. A quick photo or two is usually all I need to give you a sensible price.
Honest, written quote. No hidden extras, no "while I'm here" upsells unless you ask.
Show up on time, do the work, leave it cleaner than I found it. That's the whole promise.

"Krystian fitted three flat-pack wardrobes and put up some shelves in the boys' rooms. Tidy, calm, very particular about getting things straight. Came in on the price he quoted. Booked him in again already."
"We had a leaking toilet, two doors that wouldn't close and a long list of decorating snags. Krystian sorted the lot in a day and a half. Fair price, no fuss. Honest tradesman."
"Polecam z całego serca. Krystian zamontował szafki w łazience i pomalował korytarz — szybko, czysto, uczciwa cena. Profesjonalista. Dziękuję!"
"Wholeheartedly recommend. Krystian fitted bathroom cabinets and painted the hallway — quick, clean, honest price. A professional. Thank you!"
"Used Krystian for some awkward joinery in our converted loft — sloping ceilings, nothing square. Other guys quoted then went quiet. Krystian came over, measured, did the job and it looks perfect. Top man."
"I'm a landlord and Krystian has done four turnovers for me now — drywall patches, repaints, a kitchen tap, flat-pack desks. Reliable, quick to reply, and the work is consistently neat. Best handyman I've used in LS14."
"Five stars and a fair price — what more do you want?"
Anything in the multi-trade handyman remit — joinery (including the awkward stuff), painting and decorating, panelling, drywall repairs, plumbing fixes, small electrical work, flat-pack assembly, bathroom cabinets and toilet repairs, boxing in pipework, and general odd jobs. Both residential and small commercial. If a job needs a specialist (full re-wire, gas), I'll tell you and bring in someone trusted.
Yes — there's a sensible minimum to cover travel and set-up. For very small jobs, I'd usually suggest bundling a couple together, which is cheaper than two separate visits. Tell me what's on your list and I'll be straight about whether it makes sense for one trip.
Yes — fluent in both. English speakers get the same straight, no-nonsense service as Polish speakers. Tak, mówię po polsku — zadzwoń lub napisz wiadomość, bez problemu pomogę. Bilingual service is a quiet but useful USP, especially for Leeds's Polish community.
Standard hours are Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm. I keep weekends for family and rest, which means I'm sharp on Monday morning. For genuinely urgent issues — a leak you can't shut off, a door that won't lock — call me and I'll do my best to help or point you to someone who can.
Yes — public liability insurance is in place. Happy to share the certificate before any job, especially for landlords, lettings agents and small commercial clients who need it on file.
Easiest is a quick call (07467 742947) or the form below — describe the job and send a photo or two if you have them. For most small to medium jobs I can give you a fair price the same day. For bigger work I'll come out, take a proper look, and email a written quote within 48 hours. No charge, no obligation.
From the workshop on Stanks Drive I cover east Leeds, the LS14 postcodes and the wider Leeds area. If you're nearby and unsure, just ask — I'll be honest about whether it makes sense.

Phone is fastest — but the form works just as well, and you can drop in a photo or two if it helps explain.
