About
Kent House Medic
Jim
Haskell the proprietor of Kent House Medic, served 29 years
as a police constable with Kent
Police, based in Swale, mainly at Sittingbourne
and Faversham police stations. During most of his career,
he was a uniformed response officer, answering 999 calls etc.
Early in his career he spent two years as the rural beat officer for
Newington, Danaway and Hartlip.
During
the last two years, he assisted the police licensing officer for Swale
with the implementation of the Licensing Act 2005..
Having retired from the police, in September 2007, James looked for
a new direction for his life, and having fully renovated two houses
in the past, and helped friends and colleagues update their houses decided
to turn his hobby into a business, providing a professional handman
service.
Jim prefers to call himself a multi-skilled person rather than a handyman
or odd job man, as he has taken the trouble to get himself trained.
Having spent years doing a varied job, he couldn't stand the idea, of
just looking after electrics every day, life and work needs variety.
Jim
has attended courses at
Able Skills Dartford, where took courses to become
a Domestic Electric Installer (City & Guilds 2382), PAT tester,
and other courses in Plumbing and Brick laying. Other building skills
he has picked up during years of renovating houses.
As
stated in the introduction on the home page, he has seen too much of
sloppy workmanship, and the disputes and stresses that causes, to home
owners.
He will therefore do his upmost, to keep the house owner informed of
any difficulties,
and
to keep to his side of the agreement, all he asks in return, is that
he receives
adequate cups of coffee at the start of the day and lunch time and prompt
payment.
To
ensure that you are not ripped of Jim advises that you purchase and
read
"Sarah Beeny's - Price the Job - Your Price Guide to Renovation
& Repair (2008)"
https://www.bcbookshop.co.uk/nla/book.php?id=27036
This
will give you a good guide on what to look for in a builder and advises
you what you
should be paying, well worth the £9.99 cost.
