  Radon Testing & Mitigation

Did you know that Radon is :

• a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps out of the ground
• heavier than air so accumulates in pockets in your house
• odourless
• invisible
• tasteless
• after smoking, is the second biggest cause of lung cancer in the UK. It's not known as the silent killer for nothing!

We can tolerate small quantites (less than 100 Bq/m³) but the gas becomes dangerous at higher levels - above 200 Bq/m³ - you should be taking preventative measures to reduce it.

We can test what level is present in your home and then install the latest Radon mitigation equipment, all with the minimum of fuss. We can also provide digital monitors so you can keep an eye on how well the system is performing in the longterm.

Don't take a chance with yours or your family's health, get your home tested today and let us help you reduce the risk if the levels in your home are elevated above the recommended guidelines.

  Does your house look dated?

We can clad it with:

• uPVC
• composite
• fibre cement board

The 70s and 80s saw developers use wall hung tiles to cover the front of houses. Nowadays these often look dated and tired. Bring your home into the 21st Century by having us remove your old tiles and install modern cladding that will grace your home and make it stand out from the crowd.

We have a wide choice of colours available from some of the biggest suppliers in the UK at prices that will pleasantly surprise you.

   Roof Cleaning

The roof is probably the biggest single part of your home and keeping it in good order is vital. Over time organic growth will appear on the surface and if left unchecked will damage the roof covering and potentially cause £000's of damage elsewhere in your home. We can help by cleaning the roof and often restoring it back to it's original colour and make it look as though you have had a new roof. Under all those years of accumulated dirt is a pristine looking roof just waiting to be revealed!

• Hand scraping of moss (no pressure washers used - so no damage to tiles)
• Chemical treatment applied to kill all organic matter and clean the tiles so they look like new again
• Moss prevention biocide treatments available to prevent future growth
• Rainwater channels are cleared so the tiles can operate as they should in egressing the water from your roof - if they are blocked the tiles will seep the water off instead of alowing it to cascade from tile to tile as it is designed to work
• In some instances we can install expanded copper mesh under the ridge tiles to release copper suphates and sulphides, this inhibits organic growth every time it rains
• Damaged roof tiles can identified then replaced or repaired - we can even source tiles that are no-longer made
• A clean roof gives your home a new lease of life and makes it stand out from the crowd - ideal for those looking to sell and peace of mind for those who are going to stay

  Are your windows all good?

Modern windows and doors last a long time but things do sometimes go wrong. Hinges wear out or distort, handles become stiff or break, locks stop working, covers on trickle vents get knocked off and of course sealed units fail, leaving unsighly misting between the glass that all the scrubbing in the world won't get rid of. We can adjust and repair most windows, doors and patio doors, or where necessary replace entirely.

We can reglaze broken window panes and sealed untits in uPVC, aluminium and wooden frames and unlike lots of companies out there we will even do windows that are traditionally glazed with putty.

Devon Handy Men have years of experience in the glazing industry and can usually solve your problems at a fraction of the cost of window companies who usually only want to rip out and replace.

   Gutters & Fascias

The gutters & fascias keep your home weather proof by preventing wind and rain water from damaging the fabric of your home. If they're blocked, damaged or just badly maintained water will get in and cause you major headaches.

We clear leaves from gutters, replace failed seals and ensure downspouts are propertly fitted and working

Fascias and gutters cleaned to help them last longer and improve the visual appearance of your home.

Got old wooden fascias and barge-boarding that needs painting every year? Why not upgrade to maintenance-free uPVC? Just a bit of cleaning instead of sanding, priming,undercoating and painting a material that is destined to rot away in the end.

Don't let the your home be a source of danger or worry, take action and contact us today.
