About

Local, reliable, and happy to get stuck in

I'm Bob Dodd and I live in the heart of the Dales, looking after homes across Nidderdale, from period cottages to newer builds and holiday lets. I know the local trades, I turn up when I say I will, and I charge a fair price for tidy, careful work.

Most of my work comes from word of mouth around the dale, and I aim to keep it that way: honest advice, every job treated with the same care, and mess cleared up before I leave.

  • Public liability insured
  • All-round property maintenance under one roof
  • Experienced with period properties
