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.

Handyman- 21 May 2022
After recently moving into our new home we were desperate to get somebody in to put together a swing/climbing frame patio furniture and a dining table for the kitchen. With the stress of work and moving we decided to post a job via my builder on fri evening and were surprised at how quickly Ben came back to us and not only did he quote us a very reasonable price he offered to do the work the following morning and we agreed to a 7.30 start. Ben was very punctual and our first impressions were great friendly polite and very professional immediately we could tell we were going to be impressed and we were not left disappointed. Bens work ethic was remarkable he worked pretty much through till gone 5pm and even had time to help with hanging the tv up. Overall we found Ben to have a far more superior skill set than anybody we had experienced before. Excellent quality and end product everything was put together to perfection you will be hard pushed to find anybody better . Nothing seemed too much trouble. Thank you Ben you have taken some of the stress away from moving homes and now we can enjoy the garden too thanks to you. Would highly recommend Ben qaulity service at competitive prices .

Avoid this person nothing but a CON MAN Did not give me a recipe when he finished the job, had to keep asking him for it. After 5 weeks he email it to me and their was a difference of £50. After speaking to him he said it was for picking the part up which was not in the quote . But he did not say he was charging us for this otherwise we would have got it our self. DO NOT TRUST THIS MAN he will rip you off ,up to you if you have him but I rather a cold shower than have him. THANKS CON MAN FOR NOTHING

Wayne came today and did some jobs for me including moving some furniture so that a room can be decorated. He also put up some pictures for me and dismantled some shelves. He is a lovely guy and extremely helpful and careful - he cleaned up after himself as well. I cannot fault him - he is coming again next week to put the furniture back and I will definitely ask him for help again - fantastic thank you!
