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.

Lee decorated my living room, he painted the ceiling, walls, skirting and doors all to a very smooth and professional finish. I was on holiday at the time and it was lovely to come home to a newly decorated room. A lot of care was taken and attention to detail. I am lining up the next rooms to decorate. I just need to decide on the colour theme. Thank you Lee. I would highly recommend Lee to anyone looking for someone to decorate their home.

John did an excellent job installing the kitchen door despite of the misaligned walls to start the door frame. This resulted him working more than the hours needed stated in his estimate, but he came back to finish off the job without extra cost. He is a reliable honest handyman who worked extremely hard. Would highly recommend.

Decking- 21 Sep 2023
I can't speak highly enough of Mathew and Thomas' customer-first attitude. I wanted to put a shed on an uneven surface and thought I needed a deck to support it, but then they recommended another easier and cheaper way which could serve the same purpose. Not to mention the morning they worked was raining heavily, but they were just unflappable and had the job done gracefully. If you are looking for a trustworthy and responsible builder, just go for Mathew and I will defo call Mathew again whenever I need jobs to be done in my house.

Bathroom Fitting- 28 Oct 2022
MJS Property Maintenance recently carried out full refurbishment works to our downstairs toilet and main bathroom (including internal wall alterations to the adjacent bedroom). Despite a number of unforeseen and unavoidable issues which arose during the course of the work, Matthew successfully overcame these and ensured that he communicated with us fully at all times. We also asked for a few additional items of maintenance work to be carried out to our en-suite bathroom and kitchen and these were happily incorporated at a very fair and reasonable cost. We are very happy with the quality of the work which has been carried out and would definitely use MJS Property Maintenance in the future.
