About Cirencester

Cirencester is a Roman market town in the southern Cotswolds, often called the Capital of the Cotswolds. It sits on the River Churn and has a population of around 20,000. The town grew from Corinium, the second largest Roman settlement in Britain, and much of that history is on display at the Corinium Museum. The parish church of St John the Baptist dominates the Market Place, and the Royal Agricultural University sits on the western edge of town.

The town is made up of several distinct areas. The centre covers the Market Place, Dyer Street and Cricklade Street. Watermoor and Chesterton are the older residential districts to the south. Stratton sits to the north on the road towards Gloucester, and The Park is the large open green space that gives its name to the streets on its southern edge. Each of these areas has its own mix of terraced cottages, Victorian semis and newer estates.

The kinds of jobs Martin does in Cirencester

In Watermoor and Chesterton a lot of the work is small repair jobs in older terraced houses: sticking sash windows, shelving in awkward alcoves, door locks, curtain poles and wall-mounted televisions. Around the Park and the streets off Victoria Road, family homes tend to need picture hanging, flat-pack assembly and the odd bit of garden tidy-up. On the newer estates around Stratton and Kingshill, the work skews more towards fence panels, gate repairs, outside tap fitting and bathroom silicone. Martin also does a lot of small jobs for older residents in the town who just want one trusted person to sort out the odd tasks that build up over the year.
