My core skills are joinery as in furniture making and anything detailed with wood, decorating like kitchen painting, furniture painting, high end decorating. I can fit make and fit a kitchen, so plumbing and electrical skills too. Bathroom fitting complete, like tiling, plumbing etc. I help long term clients with property maintenance too although I'm trying to get out of that.
I'm booked for a year and turn down new work pretty much every other day, I have people waiting 2 years sometimes. I know it seems a bit extreme but the work I do is the same price as everyone else but with a very high level of detail and I aim for durability of finish too. I basically have low overheads and try to work in my local area as it keeps costs lower.
I've spent 30 years doing the job on my own, very rarely taking on someone for a couple of months if the job is extremely physical. I have worked with one or 2 people I respect but most are happy to get away with stuff as long as they get paid and I care about the job being done as well as I know how and hopefully at least a little better than the client expects.
It is a little bit depressing when a client says 'That's much better than I expected' but in a way that suggests they mean. 'You could have done it worse and cheaper'.

It is sad that people expect shite work.
