The Yorkshire Handy Woman

The Yorkshire Handy Woman can do everything that a handy man can, only better because she’s a Woman and a Yorkshire Woman at that!

Whether it’s your garden or your house, or even both, that needs a ‘do over’ or repairs and maintenance, why not give me a call?

I started The Yorkshire Handy Woman as I feel there is a definite need for a service where women are able to hire a ‘Handy woman’ instead of a handy man, in order that they can get jobs done and still feel safe in their homes.

Whether you need a garden makeover or just some general weeding, pruning or mowing. Maybe you need a room decorating or your whole house renovating. Is it that your house lacks adequate storage, so you are in dire need of some unique storage solutions.

Well, I can help with that.

With over 10 years experience of property and land development, as well as a whole raft of craft and construction experience, I pride myself on 

seeing solutions where others see only problems.

From paving to patios, painting to plastering, repairs to renovations, rebuilds to new builds, fixing to replacing, I’ve got it covered.

I also build with cob. Check me out here at The Yorkshire Cobber

Latest Projects

Bathroom Mosaic

‘I want my bathroom tiling, but I don’t just want tiles in a line on the wall’ said my client. Well, this was the most fun I’ve had with a hammer and some grout for ages. What’s more, all the family did a bit of it so they are all connected to their bathroom. Brilliant!

Shed Renovation

This shed had laid in pieces on concrete, stood against a fence, been used as a climbing frame by the neighbour’s children, a bed by the local cats and seen autumn, winter and spring pass before being reinforced and reassembled to live once more as a shed.

Loft Storage Solution

I’ve spent the last couple of Sundays sorting out some storage shelves in a loft space so that the space works better for the client.
Predominantly this shelving was made using repurposed timber and is attached directly  to the rafters and roof beams.

I’ve Been Building & Developing For Over 10 Years

It wasn’t the academic side of school that lit me up as a child or young person. It was the woodwork, the metalwork, the arts and the crafts. Technical drawing and planning how to build things was another great passion. I see solutions where others see just the problem, and through the skills I’ve gained, I’m able to make the solutions a reality.

In more recent years power tools have become my obsession, along with mini diggers and dumper trucks. I’m a woman who can. Simple. I refuse to believe that I can’t. That is me. That is all.

From small projects to full scale ‘field to farm’ and ‘house renovations’ I’ve spent the last 10 years proving that anything is possible if you have a Di!

Contact me and let’s make your dreams a reality!

Yeah, OK. But what else can you do?

As well as doing the big scale projects on property and land, I also do lots of Arts & Crafts stuff. I am a creative and I love to create. I take private commission work for anything that can be made with Wood, can be painted with Glass Paints or Acrylics, or created out of textiles.

Why not take a look at my works.

Client Testimonials

I want my bathroom tiling, but I don’t just want tiles in a line on the wall” was the brief I gave. I absolutely love the end result and that Di let us all do a bit of the mosaic so that we can all look at it and see the bit we did and remember the fun we had doing it! Highly Recommend A+++

L Wilson

“Before Di came and took a look in the loft it really was just chaos up there. You had to endlessly play box chess to get to anything that you wanted. Di looked up in to the loft space and saw the solution straightaway. I would Highly Recommend her every time ”

A Garside

“I contacted Di as I wanted a very specific piece of equipment making, but I wanted the look of the Biltong Cutter to be simple, yet stylish. What I got from Di was exactly that. Where others see problems, she sees solutions and stylish solutions at that. I Highly Recommend her”
