About Trevor Scowen

Following redundancy in early 2016 from 40 years in the print industry, I was ready for a change of direction, so I decided to go self employed and start up my own business using the skills I've acquired over years of personal projects for friends and family.

With a high level of workmanship and great attention to detail my skill sets include technology/IT support, painting, decorating, carpentry, basic plumbing, tiling and flat pack furniture assembly amongst many others. I'm more than happy to help with most requests and no job is too small. With an extensive knowledge of many trades you'll find I'm pretty Handy to know.

I cover all areas of West Dorset so if you're looking for a job well done by a friendly, trust worthy, local professional then don't hesitate to contact me with your enquiry.

 

Handy to Know can help you with all manner of small and large jobs around your home, including advice and assistance with technology as well as more practical tasks.

Technology

Technology Assistance

Having difficulties with your laptop, iPad, printer, email, browsing or any technology about the house? I can assist you to use and get the most from your equipment. Patient one-to-one tuition. Advising on new hardware/software and installations. Domestic IT support.

Typically I am asked about:

My PC/iPad has come up with something I haven’t seen before, how do I get out of it? I am having problems with my email or internet connection. I need to do something on my computer but do not know how to do it. I wish someone could show me how to do ‘this or that’ on my computer. I spoke to customer support but I don’t understand what they are talking about.

Straightforward, honest advice to help with the increasingly technological world.
