Tools of the Trade: Why I Only Use the Best (and Leave No Mess Behind)

When you hire someone to work in your home, you want to know the job will be done properly — and that includes everything from the tools I use to how I leave the space when I’m finished.

I’ve built up a solid collection of high-quality kit over the years, and I only invest in tools that are built to last and deliver a clean, accurate result. That means trusted names like DEWALT, Festool, Mafell, and Makita — not cheap gear that rattles apart halfway through the job.

🛠️ Powered, Cordless, and Always the Right Tool for the Job

Some of my tools are mains powered. Some are 18V cordless. I’ve got both — and I always bring what’s most appropriate for the job. Full stop.

From Festool sanders that leave a silky-smooth finish to Makita drills and Mafell saws that deliver precise cuts every time, I come equipped to do the job once — and do it right.

🧹 I Clean Up. Properly.

I’m not the sort who leaves sawdust in the hallway or filler dust on your carpet. I'll bring a Festool dust extractor that works directly with my tools to catch dust at the source — keeping your space clean while I work. I also carry portable DEWALT vacuums for jobs where mobility matters.

When I pack up, the only thing I leave behind is a job well done. No debris, no mess, no surprises. Full stop.

⚙️ Why That Matters

Using top-quality tools and keeping things tidy means:

• Neater finishes

• Less disruption to your home

• Jobs that last

• Cleaner air and safer spaces — especially for families or pets

So when I turn up at your door, you’re not just getting a guy with a toolbox — you’re getting someone who takes pride in their work and respects your home. That’s what proper service looks like.
