First job free for friends & family

Local help, honest work.

Two sixteen-year-olds from Salisbury offering jet washing, gardening, car cleaning and a friendly extra pair of hands — for the neighbours who'd rather hire a local lad than a pricey contractor.

Meet the lads

Who we are

We're two sixteen-year-olds finishing our GCSEs this summer. We thought we'd put the long break to good use — earning a bit of money, learning some real skills, and giving our neighbours an honest, local pair of hands.

Mikey Davies

Lead

Age 16 · Lives in Salisbury, Wiltshire

I want to learn the kind of skills you can take into adulthood — carpentry, gardening, looking after a place. One day I'd like to buy a rundown house and do it up myself, so this summer is my first step. I'm reliable, polite, and I take pride in finishing a job properly.

I help out on bigger jobs and on weekends when I can travel up to Salisbury. I'm the planner — happy to help with quotes, scheduling and keeping things organised. Together Mikey and I want to build something real this summer.

What we do

Honest manual help, by the hour

We're not qualified contractors — and we won't pretend to be. We're the friendly help next door for the jobs that don't need one.

💧

Patio & driveway jet washing

Bringing your patio, paving or driveway back to life. We'll bring the jet wash.

🌿

Gardening & tidy-ups

Weeding, mowing, hedge trimming, clearing leaves — the standing-on-your-feet jobs.

🚗

Car cleaning

A proper wash and inside vacuum. Bring it back showroom-bright.

📦

Moving furniture

An extra pair of hands when you need to shift a sofa, wardrobe or boxes around the house.

🪣

Window & outdoor cleaning

Windows, gutters within reach, bins, outdoor furniture — the bits that get forgotten.

🛠️

General odd jobs

Most non-specialist jobs around the house and garden. If you're not sure, just ask.
