Hi, I'm Quentin
I'm a handyman — a "jack of all trades" — based in Aven, Valais. Behind Le Bricotier is a simple idea: many people need a helping hand for small jobs, but not necessarily a large company or a big building site.
I come to you for these everyday tasks that keep getting put off due to lack of time, tools or habit, with a single point of contact, direct communication and a rate announced in advance.

Why Le Bricotier?
Small things that need time and tools
There are often small things to do in a house, an apartment, a garage or a garden. They need time, tools, energy, or simply a bit of know-how.
I offer versatile help to get these tasks moving, with direct discussion and a solution suited to the real need.
Who is this service for?
Open to everyone
It's particularly useful for elderly people, people living alone, people on a limited budget, those who can no longer carry out certain tasks, or those who aren't comfortable with DIY.
- You can no longer carry things or climb a ladder
- You don't have the right tools
- You're short on time
- You don't know where to start
- The job is too small to interest a large company
- You'd like a single point of contact for several tasks
How I work
Direct contact, respect and clarity
I favour direct contact, punctuality, respect for your home and clear communication.
Before starting, we discuss what needs to be done, how to go about it, the likely time needed and any costs.
I look for a practical solution, without pushing for unnecessary work.
Honesty
I clearly say what I can do and what's beyond my abilities.
Simplicity
Direct communication, clear explanations and an announced rate.
Respect
Respect for people, homes, materials and budget.
Common sense
A solution suited to the need, without turning a small task into a big project.
And when a specialist is needed?
I don't claim to do everything
Some work requires a qualification, a permit, specific equipment or technical liability.
When a plumber, electrician, heating engineer, roofer or other professional is needed, I tell you. I can then help you organise their visit and coordinate the steps of the project.
Transparency is part of the service: it's better to point you to the right trade than to promise something that can't be done properly.
CHF 80 / hour
It allows an affordable service for small jobs and one-off help. Any extra costs are discussed before the work starts.
