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.

My job was quite difficult as my summerhouse needed moving from a boggy allotment to my garden but John and Joe were amazing from start to finish. A fast and fair quote, a friendly smile and quality service all the way from John and Joe. They took great care with everything and did an excellent job. I am so delighted with their excellent, professional and friendly service and will be using them again in the near future. I highly recommend this company. Thankyou John and Joe very much.😊

Jon removed a wall and erected a new stud wall to create a new kitchen space. He's also arranged for the new kitchen electrics, plastering and kitchen fitting. He's brilliant from start to finish. Always on time and left my home tidy after each day of work, even though it was a working building site. He provided clear advise as we went so I felt confident the end product was going to be what I was after. I'll absolutely be hiring him again for future work.

Bathroom Fitting- 5 Jun 2020
From start to finish the service that I received from Matt and his team was second to none. I had a complete bathroom refit done and I am over the moon with it. I was kept informed of every step that was taking place and although I changed my mind on a few things along the way it was still not a problem.Each evening Alex and co cleared away so I didn't feel like I was living in a building site. Alex did a brilliant job on the final day clearing away so all I had to do was enjoy my new Bathroom. A quality refit done by a quality team!!! I have already planned my next works and I would not hesitate to recommend Matte Interiors to anyone.

Handyman- 16 Feb 2025
Unreliable and Unprofessional – Avoid! We were given the go-ahead to book nine different jobs, only for him to cancel all scheduled visits the very next day, stating he no longer wanted to proceed. This last-minute change created a major administrative mess for our company, forcing us to cancel appointments and disappoint our clients. Such behavior is highly unprofessional and completely unacceptable. To make matters worse, the only response we received was a simple "sorry." Not a way to run your business mate.
