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.

Kitchen Fitting- 12 Jul 2023
Karl Newby came and looked at the cupboard door and the washing machine yesterday Tuesday 11 July and advised he had done a similar job last month and explained how he would carry out the work required. Karl advised he was free to carry out the work Wednesday 12 July and would be here at our home at 09:00 to start work. Karl arrived on time and started work straight away he was very concerned that he would carry out the work to a high standard. Karl was meticulous tidying up as he went along and left no mess of any kind in the garden where he used power tools to cut and saw wood and in our kitchen. My Wife and I are delighted with the job Karl made of fitting the door to the washing machine which was not and easy task to carry out. Karl is very professional and made a point of explaining what he was doing and why as the job progressed. My wife and I would strongly recommend Karl Newby to carry out work on Kitchens from small jobs to full design and fitting of Kitchens.

Garden Maintenance- 30 Oct 2023
Prompt, polite, hardworking and tidy. Can't ask for more from a workman. Job was delayed twice due to weather and his communication was clear and contrite each time. Price was at the upper end for day work for a Gardner but we'll worth it for the quality of work.

I highly recommend Mike, Get Me the Handyman. He was great to deal with. He set out his costs accurately, was reasonably priced and quick to respond. He did a fantastic job in less time than originally anticipated. He fixed and painted all the windows in my flat but was also happy to help with smaller jobs and went above and beyond in assisting me to get my flat ready for sale, cannot recommend enough.

Painting & Decorating- 16 May 2018
Maldiny’s team carried out external redecoration / restoration of a substantial four storey Georgian house in Blackheath, to an exceptionally high standard. Maldiny is an absolute professional, who attended site regularly throughout the day to supervise his tradesman and check that I was happy with progress. His team are clearly skilled, as the work included reinstating period masonry features, restoring a lot of sash windows and refurbishing a very rusty metal staircase. What impressed me most, was Maldiny’s flexibly to reorganise his work around the scaffolding contractors (not his firm), who were late finishing and the needs / wishes of the six flat owners. I would strongly recommend MC’s Building Services and I know they have had interest from another, similar house in the road. The final thing I would add is that Maldiny always responds promptly to calls / messages and things don’t get forgotten - a rarity, in my experience!

Andrew was friendly, hardworking, confident, knowledgeable and flexible. Took care with the job of pulling apart the large shed with it nails and screws and did a fantastic job of levelling and finishing the base before he put it all back together in top shape and put new flashing on too. Have booked him in to help with building a false wall and installing a fitted wardrobe, ceiling repair and some plumbing too! Would definitely recommend
