Our purpose

CanCan are experts in home maintenance, and our purpose is to make maintaining and improving your home as convenient, reliable and safe as possible.

We know how important your property is to you and also how each home or property is different in layout, design and age.

Maintaining a property to a decent standard requires care and attention and we focus on quality of work and attention to detail in order to deliver the outcome you want.

Maintenance is also time-consuming and we have invested to make the communication, administration and customer service that surrounds every piece of work as seamless as possible for both our customers and our tradespeople.

Our services

We are here to help you both maintain and improve your property. From fixes through to upgrades and from small scale work through to full refurbishments, CanCan is a complete home service. We have the capability to deliver fast turnaround reactive maintenance and also longer-term planned maintenance.

We are experts in all the mainstreams trades:

  • Electrics
  • Plumbing
  • Heating and cooling
  • Carpentry

Our customers often require one of these services or a combination and we are capable of full home refurbishments (especially bathroom and kitchen refits) which normally require a mix of skills.

We also offer a skilled handyman service which can help with a multitude of separate issues around the home, including both simple tasks and also ones requiring some technical experience.

We also helps our customers with other ancillary services where they need help to keep their home well maintained - for example, should they need a locksmith, a drainage engineer, a jet washing specialist or some form of more technical cleaning such window, carpet or upholstery cleaning.

It's a home maintenance service, all under one roof: whether you want to fix, maintain or improve your home, you can with CanCan.

Prior to setting up CanCan, Rhydian had founded and run a fintech business called RateSetter which serviced over a million customers in the UK, won a Queen's Award for Enterprise and was then acquired in 2020. Rhydian's focus on home maintenance came about after he moved house with his young family which made him think that there was an opportunity to provide all aspects of maintenance under one roof with consistent standards.
