About Kaj

Local to Stansted,
City & Guilds trained.

Hi, I'm Kaj! I run Odd Jobs Captain on my own out of Stansted Mountfitchet. When you ring up or message on WhatsApp, I'm the one who gives you the price and the one who comes round to do the work.

Carpentry training

8-week hands-on training at Able Skills.

I completed an intensive 8-week practical carpentry course at Able Skills, earning my City & Guilds certificate alongside hands-on training towards NVQ Level 2 in carpentry and joinery.

Across those weeks in the workshop I trained and was assessed on hanging doors, building and installing door linings, fitting locks and latches, fixing architraves and skirtings, constructing studwork and hatch linings, and fitting floor joists, flooring and rafters.

How I work

What you can count on when you book me.

Keeping things simple and reliable makes everyone's day easier, whether I'm round for forty minutes or a full day.

01

Turning up on time

I turn up when agreed. If an earlier job ever runs late, I let you know straight away so you're never left waiting around.

02

Clear upfront prices

We agree the rate before I start. If I uncover hidden damage once something comes off the wall, I stop and check with you first.

03

Working clean and tidy

Dust sheets go down first, the floor gets swept or vacuumed afterwards, and empty flat-pack cardboard goes in the van.

04

Honest about specialist work

I leave gas, electrics, plumbing and roofing to the specialists, and I'm always happy to tell you which trade you need.
