Tim the Handyman

I take pride in tidy work and producing a good finish. References are available, you can check out some of the jobs I've done here on the site - or I can arrange for you to see the quality of my work in person.

my van runs on LPG Autogas

My van runs on LPG Autogas.

LPG is a significantly cleaner fuel than petrol or diesel as it is non-toxic (no benzene), non-corrosive and free of tetra-ethyl lead or any additives.

As my van emits extremely low amounts of carbon and sulphur it is Low Emission Zone (LEZ) compliant for London!
