About Leon
A practical craftsman, a registered nurse, and the founder of LB Handyman.
Leon is a coachbuilder by trade and a fully PVG-vetted, registered nurse. It is an unusual combination, but a highly useful one that brings practical experience together with careful, precise workmanship. He understands the importance of reliability, compassion, patience, respect and clear communication, especially when working inside someone's home.
He completed his City and Guilds Coach Building apprenticeship with LRT Lothian, now Lothian Buses, in 1998. Working with a wide range of tools developed his eye for precision and his commitment to a safe, tidy finish on every task.
In 2001, Leon moved from looking after buses to looking after patients. With extensive experience in care homes, hospital wards and operating theatres, he works calmly under pressure, communicates clearly, and keeps his work area clean and tidy.
Leon keeps his registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council and still works occasional shifts in several care homes.
This year he took the opportunity to start his own business and focus on work he has always loved. Friends and family have long known him as the one with a tool in his hand, whether building bicycles, tackling DIY projects or handling home improvements.
LB Handyman provides straightforward support with repairs, maintenance, home improvements and garden work. Leon approaches every job carefully, big or small, and treats each client as an individual with the dignity, safety and respect they deserve.
