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.

ASM Plumbing and Heating replaced our upstairs toilet on 24/1/2022. Aaron arranged a visit to quote for the works to be carried out during which he provided a clear plan ahead. The quote arrived within 24hrs. The job was completed the following week to my entire satisfaction. He kept me informed on the day as to the progress. The old toilet and accompanying debris was removed. The toilet was left clean and tidy. Aaron followed COVID regulations at all times. Would highly recommend for quality of work an value for money.

I would have no hesitation in recommending this company to others. They carried out all the work in a pleasant and professional way. I had my back garden fences painted, a new sensor light fitted at the front door, 7 blinds fitted, a new socket on the fridge/freezer and replacement hinges put on the bathroom cupboard door. This team worked without taking breaks and offered solutions to any work problems I presented them with - a job well done!

Handyman- 8 Aug 2025
I had no issue with Mick on a personal level but the standard of his workmanship and reliability was poor. I required a series of small jobs to be done and most were either not done or done to a poor standard, sometimes due to a lack of tools. As an example, he said a toilet seat couldn’t be fitted without some brackets that needed to be purchased. However, I called the manufacturer which said all the brackets come with the seat and nothing else is needed. Also asked for the back garden paving to be jet washed but he only had a weak jet wash which didn’t do the job. He did agree to return to do the job but then didn’t show up for the agreed time. After much chasing he only replied after two months so, regrettably, I’m having to resort to lodging a claim with the small claims court.

Very pleased with the job done by Richard. He was very quick and the finished job was excellent and we were very satisfied with it. He was also friendly and cheerful, and fully tidied up after a job that by its very nature created some mess. We will not hesitate to ask him again if we needed any similar work.
