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.

Dan was a trustworthy & competent tradesman who did a great job. We had some doors to hang in a garage conversion that had 'wonky' door frames (husbands DIY!!). Dan did a fab job of making these doors fit within the openings and doors that shut perfectly. The job was completed to a great standard and by a really nice chap as well, thanks Dan.

Jon was great all round, very nice guy and highly recommended! Initially popped over for a look and a quote was sent within a few days, we added things as we went along and any changes we wanted weren’t an issue. Jon explained everything thoroughly and also mentioned some options that were available, such as spotlights etc. He also made suggestions that we didn’t think of before but were beneficial in the long run. He was very clean with all his work and tidied up after himself. He was very punctual with his work and I will be definitely using Jon again in the future. Very happy with the work and service provided!

Fantastic from start to finish! A very decent, likeable and trustworthy man.

Plastering- 7 Sep 2015
Paul quoted me to render the garden wall. I cannot fault his workmanship at all! Even if I did choose an odd colour ha! He was punctual each day and explained everything to keep me up to date with what was going on, from being able to get supply of my off colour render to each stage of the process. The wall looks much better now. I would definitely recommend Ab Fab plastering and will continue to use them for any other work than shall need to be done to my properties.

Conversions - General- 28 Feb 2016
Julian was very friendly, flexible and capable in completing a wide ranging job for us; including knocking through a wall to fit a new doorway, bricking up a door way and replacing it with a new window and helping design and construct an above ground fully insulated wine cellar. He also helped with the various building certification visits (which was very helpful as we had limited knowledge of the requirements). We found Julian's advice on construction materials and practicalities very helpful and were very happy with the clarity and level of costs/timing quoted at every stage. He was also flexible and understanding to changes/additions to the scope of work during the project. Julian seemed to be very happy to work to our timetable in terms of work and budget. After and during all the various stages of work Julian made sure to leave the house in good order, so the work was not too disrupting to our lives. We were very happy and would definitely use Julian again (and recommend others to do so).
