As long as he sticks to being a handyman it will be OK. Its when

Err, how do you know what his insurance covers?

Who's?

Perhaps you don't realise what you've written. It's at the top of this
post.

Oh I know what I wrote.
Its quoted above.
You may notice that it says "they" and doesn't specify an individual.

But can be taken to imply it. Allegedly. Given you appear to have some
restrictions as to what a handyman can be allowed to do.

There are restrictions on what a handyman can do.


Taking down an internal wall under the supervision of a pro can be a
DIY task. I've done two here, and I'm not a builder. I've also seen
it
done by a 'proper' builder where they took risks. And then left all
the rubble under the floors...

I have also taken down internal walls, without supervision, but I
could
tell the difference between the load bearing and none load bearing
walls.

Just by looking at it?

In that case yes.

You must have X-ray vision, then. As well as the ability to do lightening
calculations. My structural engineer did a full inspection and worked out
the loadings.

Maybe he needed to in your case?
