House Refurbishment I did with my Father
Toilet Redesign for a work-space in Moorgate/Old Street. What a pig of a job in the steaming heat of summer 2018 indoors no windows no aircon no vents at all.
Its a Toilet. I did all the work except the plumbing. I had a bit of help but it was the kind of help that goes wrong later! It wasn't my job I was called in....
Do you like my cabinet? One days work, door cut from frame, same board.

Dry lining rendering plastering and wall repairs
There is nothing worse than a hole in your wall, except perhaps a leak from your bathroom, leaving a trail of destruction through the building. Fortunately there is no problem without solution, and there are people like us who provide them. We also tackle whole rooms in plaster, damp proof solutions, rendering, dry lining, stud walling, renovations, lathe and plaster removal; the list goes on. We specialize in invisible' wall and ceiling repairs.
Bespoke fabrication carpentry and basic joinery
Before Elephant Handyman was Elephant Carpenter, and in between was Elephant Furniture. In conjunction with Emperor Construction (my Father's business) we installed bespoke cabinet and wardrobes. Elephant Carpentry then went on to make sound-system speaker-boxes, and reclaimed wood furniture, as Elephant Furniture. All this history will be discussed in detail elsewhere on the site in due course. With this background of services we now do some decorative molding and component manufacture, wood restoration, household woodwork treatment and rebuilding, outdoor woodwork, curved kerfed MDF skirting and furniture repairs.​
