About Us

About Us

We Can Do IT is a local Edinburgh firm offering support and assistance to anyone needing a wee bit of help around the house, but particularly with regards to home technology and home maintenance.   We charge a simple hourly rate, and are happy to discuss any combination of wee jobs you might need doing - avoiding the hassle of engaging multiple tradesmen.

We are passionate about customer service and will go out of our way to support vulnerable members of our community, and are keen to establish long and trusting relationships.  We are also keen to actively reduce the ecological impact of our society by re-using materials wherever possible.

Ken, the owner of the business, spent 15 years working in IT support within the Financial Services industry, with a focus on customer service. He learnt much of his technical DIY skills as a young lad working at his fathers side, and also inherited his high standards!   

Your safety/security

We will NEVER, EVER seek to sell you something you don't need. In fact, we don't actually sell anything at all - our service and reputation is what you are paying for, and that is priceless!  We are more likely to persuade you that work is not required!
However your safety is paramount, and we will not ignore it if we spot something serious that may need further investigation, (for example a leaky roof, or dangerous cabling).  As such work would almost certainly be beyond our remit, we would merely leave you a brief summary (in writing, if possible) that you can discuss with your friends/family, and decide whether it's appropriate to engage a suitably qualified professional. 

We will never ask for payment "up front" (unless you have asked us to incur significant outlay on your behalf, or are purchasing a "Gift Voucher").

We are Disclosure Scotland certified, and a member of the Federation of Small Business.  

Testimonials

Our aim is to deliver great customer service, and we get much of our business through repeat business, referrals and personal recommendation.

He has, for instance, sorted out a problem with a light, rehung a kitchen cupboard door, fitted shelves in a cupboard, sorted out a problem with our computer and mended a couple of broken dining room chairs and also an elderly writing desk. We will certainly turn to him again for any of these sorts of tasks." (BH, Bonaly)

  • "Ken arrived promptly, had a very professional yet friendly manner, spoke plain English, not computer language, and his rates are very reasonable." (JW, Colinton Mains)
  • Ken at WeCanDoIT did a variety of jobs for me when setting up a new home - he had really good suggestions when I didn't have a solution to a problem; very honest if he felt something couldn't be achieved and all the work he did was good quality and for a very reasonable cost. Would definitely call on him again." (RD, Longstone)

  • "I recently had Ken from WeCanDoIT in to do some tricky dismantling of a large piece of built-in furniture for me, and would absolutely recommend him for anyone needing any home maintenance tasks carried out.

I also really appreciated his guidance and help with working out what material could be salvaged and/or repurposed to avoid unnecessary waste." (SS, Polwarth)

  • "Two slightly tricky handyman jobs in the house thoughtfully and competently done, and promptly.

We will certainly call on him again." (MH, Craiglockhart)
