Welcome to First Steps

Your first choice for low-cost property maintenance, repairs and improvements

• Repair costs to your property too high?
• Too costly to improve your property?
• Do you want a quality job at a lower price?
• Want to do two jobs for the price of one?

If you answered “yes” then we have the solution for you  - we can really help you get more for less!
Whatever your need –  a carpenter, plumber, plasterer, kitchen fitter, bathroom fitter, painter & decorater, electrician, bricklayer,landscaper or any other trade we’ll give you great service at a price guaranteed to fit your budget.

See our exclusive offer page, and get more for even less!  But hurry they are limited!

We can do those jobs that can’t be afforded or don’t get done because you can’t find someone reliable to do it.

No more turning to DIY and then having to pay someone to do the job again, undoing all your hard work not to mention the time you spent doing it in the first place! We’ve all been there haven’t we?

What’s more we offer you a “no quibble guarantee” . If it’s not a good job for the price we quoted, then you don’t pay us.

There’s more ….  it’s also a fixed price, with no hidden extras.

It’s true, a low-cost fixed price job with a “no quibble guarantee”. We want to make a difference and that’s how we show it. Try us and see what we mean!

We’re a not-for-profit company and we only employ young people who are at various qualified stages in their career. All they need is more experience to develop their trades. We supervise and mentor them and you get a quality job at low-cost – that’s a pretty good offer even without the “no quibble guarantee”! If you want to think of it further, you’re helping develop the skills of the young, for the benefit of the future for all of us.

We know you’re busting to ask why and what’s the catch? There isn’t one – the reason we do it is because we need to develop the skills of our young people as they are our future. Our supervisors are volunteers at the other end of their working life and they know there’s a skills gap – they’re retiring and creating it! So they’re helping us to fill it by passing on their knowledge and giving customers like you, the quality they would expect to give their customers.

So if you have a job you want done – give us a call today. Our lead times are short so you won’t have to wait months to get your kitchen fitted, lounge decorated, brickwork re-pointed or whatever the job you have in mind.

If you’re still in any doubt  - why not try us out on a small job? Whatever you need ; plumber, builder, plasterer, electrician, bathroom fitter, kitchen fitter, carpenter, landscaper, bricklayer, general handyman ….. you’ll not only be getting a quality, low-cost job, but you’ll be helping with the development of young people who live in the area.
