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- 25 May 2022
I was desperate to get my tiles cleaned and re grouted. Jon was extremely accommodating, helpful and polite. He did a great job at a reasonable price. His estimate was clear and he completed the work in the agreed time. I would highly recommend Jon and wouldn't hesitate to use him in the future.

Mr Craig and his colleague were always punctual and polite. They always worked to an extremely high standard and worked carefully around myself and my animals. The job entailed raising the floor in the kitchen and bathroom, converting the bathroom into a wet room, bricking up the back door in the kitchen, removing and replacing the kitchen window, putting a new back door where the dining room window had been, building shallow steps with handrails to each side providing access to the garden. The job turned out to be much bigger than initially anticipated as the bathroom turned out to be hiding a multiplicity of bad workmanship which all had to be rectified before the job proper work could commence. All this was done and Mr Craig negotiated direct with the council so that I did not have to pay extra on top of the grant. The job was finished last week and I am completely delighted with the work. Finally they left the site completely clear of rubbish. A real pleasure to do business with, I would unhesitatingly use them again; very highly recommended.

Whether you are renting your home or you have bought a new place, the first on your agenda is to make it as comfortable as possible while also ensuring the interiors will suit your style. This often involves jobs like painting, remodelling kitchen or bathrooms, installing new tiles, floor installs, general handyman services and furniture assembly, all of which I am proud to specialise in.

Ros from Onifit, is a rare find, his quality of work and attention to detail left nothing undone, we got Ros to hang up some mirrors and pictures, do some painting and cover up some cracks with caulking, he was super focused on ensuring he did a quality job, he cleaned up immaculately and also did some extra jobs that we requested. I will always go back to him for any future works, I cannot recommend highly enough.

Handyman- 22 Oct 2019
Tim is the perfect builder for any task. He did a fantastic job of all the repairs in our house. This included installing new worktops in the kitchen, installing a new sink and hob, tiling the downstairs cloakroom, repairing our bathroom fittings, moving a light socket, replacing the garage roof and redoing the inside, painting and decorating, repairing tiles in the bathroom, moving a light switch, rebuilding and plastering a section of wall by the back door, and many other jobs I've now lost track of. He did it all to a very high quality, and always searched around to get the materials at the best possible prices. For example, the garage needed a new window, so rather than get an expensive pre-fabricated window unit, he built one from scratch using timber and glass at a fraction of the price and to good quality. I have no hesitation in recommending Tim for any job!

This individual from T&C Property Services gave me a quote to undertake repair to render and paint and gave me a date. I had to wait weeks to get the date. He let me down. He wouldn't undertake the work as he had misquoted and misjudged the time to do the work. Atrocious service, wouldn't trust him to do a job that he can't agree to. If an individual gives you a quote they should stand by it and not disregard it. It was his mistake and he should take ownership of it.
