Save the pain, in other words, by contacting Flatpack Jersey.

If you’ve built any flatpack furniture before, or built your own shed, you might remember the blistered hands, bashed thumbs, aching back and skinned knuckles – I certainly do!

But experience and skills acquired over many years mean I keep those things to a minimum. Even better, I keep them to myself!

Currently, I charge £35 an hour.
