About South Cerney

South Cerney is one of the larger villages in the Cotswold Water Park area. It has a working high street with a shop, a post office, a couple of pubs including the Old Boathouse, and several cafes. All Hallows Church at the heart of the village is Norman in origin and contains a fragment of the oldest wooden crucifix figure in England. The village is built along the Churn and has a strong community feel, with a primary school, a village hall and an active cricket club.

South Cerney has grown steadily over the last twenty years. A lot of the newer housing is concentrated around the lakes, with second-home owners and holiday lodges mixed in with full-time residents. The village also has a large retirement population, which means Martin gets regular calls for the kind of small jobs that build up when a home has been lived in for decades.

Getting to South Cerney

The drive from Cirencester takes around ten minutes via the A419 and the Spine Road. South Cerney is well inside the free travel zone, so no mileage is added.

The kinds of jobs Martin does in South Cerney

A lot of South Cerney work is around the lake developments: lodge repairs, decking fixes, outdoor lighting, shed doors, and sorting out the small wear-and-tear jobs that holiday lets accumulate between lettings. In the older part of the village, Martin handles a steady mix of curtain poles, blinds, shelves, flat-pack furniture, gate latches and fence panels. There is also a regular stream of jobs for older residents who have lived in the village a long time and just want someone reliable to help get through a list of small tasks.
