My name is Peter Killips and the idea for Hubbyhire first came to me about 5 years ago now. I was working full time as a bank manager covering the High Peak area of Derbyshire and doing around about 3,000 miles per month in travelling, but in my spare time, I enjoyed doing various DIY jobs and projects around the house on a regular basis.
It was during this time that I noticed a large number of my customers coming into the bank and moaning about the fact that they were unable to get hold of a plumber, electrician, joiner or gardener, or that they had managed to contact one but they had never turned up for the quote or to do the job as promised.
It was at this stage that one of my customers who knew that I was interested in DIY asked if I would come and do some decorating work for him as he was unable to get hold of a decorator and had an urgent job that needed doing at his office. I went and did the job for him and word soon spread around that I was available for jobs and so I had some cards printed and word soon spread further and Hubbyhire just grew and grew!
What’s unique about Hubbyhire is that we do all the smaller jobs that you can’t get electricians and plumbers to do, like fix a leaky tap or change a light fitting or broken plug socket, to hanging new doors, changing toilets and baths and sinks and taps, to replacing fencing and lawns. We do tiling and painting and decorating and all those DIY jobs around the house that you never get time to do, or haven’t got time to finish doing.
