5% discount on labor charges for work booked with Suretek before the end of 2015.
If you need an electrician or plumber that can speak your language when it comes to understanding what needs to be done, then Suretek may be just the company you are looking for.
Set up a few months ago by Wayne Grigg, a UK-qualified electrician and experienced maintenance engineer, Suretek offers a friendly, flexible and reliable service for all your electrical, plumbing, and heating needs. So whether you have a small, emergency repair job or a larger renovation project in mind, Suretek eliminates the need for calling out additional tradesmen to work on the job.
Wayne told us, “Suretek will undertake all aspects of plumbing from new installations through to maintenance and repair. One of the most frequent calls we get is to unblock and repair faulty drains. However, electrical installations and repairs are also a core part of the business and whilst we currently aren't able to carry out gas installation and servicing, we will carry out all other work on heating systems and liaise with a registered and qualified gas specialist to carry out the gas connection.”

If you are looking for reliable workmen to carry out high quality maintenance and renovation work at a reasonable price, then R & M services could be just what you are looking for!
Having received a number of glowing recommendations for this popular business, we couldn’t resist sharing some of them with you. Having undergone a number of home renovation projects ourselves, Lisa and I know only too well how difficult it can be to find good contacts for this type of work!
Established in 2013, R & M services is run by two British nationals, Colin and Jay, who, between them, hold over 30 years experience in property maintenance, renovation and project management. Serving Geneva, Vaud, and neighboring France, Colin and Jay do much of the hands-on work themselves, but also draw on the services of a wider network of experienced tradesmen to fulfil both large and small projects in the home.
Williams Services, a local specialist in TV, satellite and electrical installations, has just opened up a new home services business, to help clients tackle small "handyman" jobs in the home.
Although Williams Services was initially set up in 2009 to help clients with their TV installations, owner Daryl Williams has often been asked whether he could help out with other jobs around the home. Always keen to help customers wherever he can, he has found that more and more customers have been asking his staff to provide handyman services. So earlier this month he decided it was time to formalize this side of the business and create a new division within his company called “Williams Home Services”.

A new website has just been launched to help homeowners in Switzerland find local tradesmen and artisans that they can trust.
Called TrustedArtisan.com, the website provides an online market place where homeowners can post a project online, receive quotes from tradespeople registered on the site, and then select a company to do the job, according to the quality of reviews posted by former clients. The service is free to homeowners, but artisans must pay an annual subscription to be listed on the site, and a small commission on any significant projects over Fr. 20K, undertaken as a result of being contacted through the site.
The idea for the new website came from James Amoah, a specialist in operations management at Kaleidoscope International, a niche supply chain and business solution consultancy, focused on finding innovative customer services for businesses. James told knowitall.ch, “The concept for TrustedArtisan.com came through my own personal frustration at having no immediate access to recommended artisans, nor any means to assess their performance or vent frustration when jobs were performed inadequately. When my wife, Sarah, and I talked to friends and work colleagues, we realised that we were not alone with these frustrations and things could be much better than they were.”
Who isn’t searching for a handyman to come in and fix, repair, or touch-up something? If you aren’t handy yourself, or don’t have the time, then this is just the kind of recommendation that you should note down. If you have just moved into a new place and need a washing machine, dishwasher or light fixtures to be installed, furniture to be assembled and curtain rails put up, or if you have been living in the same place for years, but have just noticed the hallway needs repainting or the flooring replaced, then Mike is the handyman to contact! With his website’s name, Hire my Husband, who wouldn’t want to find out more?
Mike will help you with carpentry, painting and decoration, installation of light fixtures, washing machines, dishwashers, assembly and installation of flat-pack furniture, flooring, basic electrical and plumbing fixing, hanging of flat screen TVs and picture frames, curtain rails, and more.
In short, if you are looking for quality service from someone who will care for your home and who is reliable at a competitive price, then Mike is the man for you. He can tackle any of those odd jobs that you can’t manage yourself or simply don’t have time to do.
