About us

A firm built on turning up

Fifteen years of domestic repairs across Greater Accra, run on four rules that have not changed since there was one van and one electrician.

It started with a Saturday habit

Kojo Ampofo spent the first ten years of his working life as an electrician for other people, and most of his Saturdays fixing his neighbours' boards for nothing. In 2011 enough of them insisted on paying him that he registered a name and bought a second-hand van.

Fifteen years later there are four vans, eleven tradespeople and eight trades — and the thing people still ring about is the same thing they rang Kojo about on a Saturday. Somebody who turns up, tells you what is actually wrong, and charges what they said they would.

Craft keeps eleven tradespeople on the road across Greater Accra, doing the repairs and maintenance that are too small for a contractor and too involved for a Saturday morning.

Every job is quoted in writing before a tool comes out of the van, every tradesperson is certified and known to us by name, and everything we fit or fix is guaranteed for twelve months. If it goes wrong inside a year we come back for nothing.

How we work

Four things we hold ourselves to

Not values in the poster sense. Four specific commitments, each of which a customer can hold us to on the day.

The price in writing, first

Nothing starts until you have an itemised quote by e-mail and have said yes to it. If the job turns out to be worse than it looked, you hear about it before the bill does.

You know who is coming

The name and the trade, texted the day before, with a two-hour window. Nobody arrives at your gate that you were not told about, and nobody subcontracts your job to a stranger.

A year on everything

Twelve months on labour for every repair and installation. If the same fault returns inside the year we come back and put it right, call-out included, without an argument.

We leave it clean

Floors covered before we start, the offcuts and packaging taken away with us, and the room usable when we go. It should not be remarkable and in this city it is.

Old trades, kept to a modern standard

Every tradesperson on the road carries a tablet with the job on it, photographs the work before and after, and leaves a note of what was done and what we would keep an eye on. You get it by e-mail the same evening, whether you were there or not.

Who you get

The names on the vans

Kojo Ampofo

Founder and lead electrician

On the tools since 2004

Started fixing his neighbours' boards on Saturdays and never really stopped. Certified by the Energy Commission; still takes the difficult fault-finding calls himself because he enjoys them.

Efua Boakye

Operations supervisor

With the firm since 2014

Runs the diary, the vans and the two-hour windows. If you have ever had a tradesperson turn up when they said they would in this city, somebody like Efua made that happen.

Seth Nyarko

Lead carpenter

On the tools since 2001

Runs the workshop off Spintex. Twenty-five years of fitted wardrobes and doors cut to frames that have moved, and a strong view about which timbers survive a Harmattan.

Mavis Owusu

Plumbing and cooling

With the firm since 2018

Split units, water heaters and the drainage nobody else will look at. Trained at the polytechnic in Takoradi and holds the refrigerant handling certificate.
