What level of service should I expect from a handyman near me?

A local handyman should provide a clear estimate before starting any work, bring the tools and materials needed for the job, and complete tasks efficiently while maintaining a tidy workspace. They should leave your home in good order with repairs or installations finished to a high standard.

Should I ask to see examples of a handyman’s previous work?

Yes. It’s helpful to see photos of past projects such as furniture assembly, wall mounting, or home repairs to get a sense of their workmanship. Many handymen show examples of completed jobs on their MyBuilder profiles to give you confidence in the results.

What types of jobs can a handyman help with?

Local handymen often take on a wide range of domestic tasks, including putting up shelves, mounting TVs, assembling flat-pack furniture, fixing doors or locks, and completing small painting or maintenance jobs. If you’re unsure, describe your project when posting your job. Many handymen can handle multiple types of work.

How should I prepare before a handyman arrives?

Clear the space where the work will take place and make sure any fixtures or items that might get in the way are moved. If materials or fittings are required, confirm whether you or the handyman will supply them beforehand to avoid delays.

What should I check before hiring a handyman?

Before choosing handyman services near you, review profile information on MyBuilder, including job history and feedback from other customers. Make sure to confirm details like cost, duration, and what’s included in the service to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Tiling- 22 Feb 2021
Quick review: Workmanship: 10/10 Experience and Knowledge: 10/10 Pricing: 10/10 Guarantees and Warranties: 10/10 -(No one offered me a guarantee on workmanship other than Rob, which says a lot about his quality of work). Professional relationship: 10/10 -(Made me feel comfortable and at ease). Full review: Rob was so kind with his time and knowledge to help me prepare the floors and pick the right tile for the job. He went above and beyond to help me as I had never had tiles before and I really feel that I would not have gotten a better service anywhere else. Rob was also polite and easy to get on with. As a single mum I never felt uncomfortable with having him working on the floors when I was alone or out of the flat. He really did make me feel safe and worked very hard to complete the work. He is hard working and professional. Now that the work is done the floors look amazing. Thanks to his knowledge and workmanship I now have floors to be proud of for a life time. Rob really has a passion for tiling and it shows in his work. I hope to hire him again for any of my future projects so I would recommend him for any of your jobs. A first class Tiler!!

Neil fitted my new gas hob today and also adjusted some pipe work so the oven fit flush with the kitchen cupboards. His communication was great, he arrived perfectly on time, he was polite and professional throughout the work and he did a wonderful job. I’m really happy with the end result and I cannot recommend Neil highly enough. If I need any similar work doing in future, I would definitely get in touch with him. Thanks Neil. Superb job.

Handyman- 22 Jul 2018
Cameron completed the work in a timely manor, and two of the smaller jobs seem to have been completed very well. However, there has been a couple of issues since the job completion. He fitted an internal door as an outside garage door, stained it in a colour that does not match the second external door, and didn’t stain the inside of the door or door casing leaving the wood to be affected by the humid conditions (it’s now sticking). The jointing/re-pointing Cameron completed on the back garden flags is now all crumbled and blown away so we need to get that redone. Cameron was a nice person but I would not hire again for any work that needs doing.

Dez and jacko are absolute gentlemen. I was a bit apprehensive dealing with someone I'd never met before but these guys are so polite, no messing around with the usual builder's excuses. They came, weighed up the job and sorted it. I have a couple of projects that I will need doing in 2023 and I will definitely be using these two guy's again,no questions asked.

Carl fitted sliding wardrobe doors, and made internal shelving to suit our own specification. A week later he was prepared to completed numerous "bitty jobs" we had been struggling to get other tradesmen to even quote for. His charges were reasonable, but more importantly, he was prompt and polite at all times.
