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.

Phil is fantastic! We had great communication leading up to the job and on the day he arrived promptly and got straight to work. It was finished to a high standard and Phil communicated with me throughout to ensure that it was exactly what I wanted. He knows his stuff, was polite and courteous in my home and is competitively priced. We have no hesitation in recommending Phil, and will use him again for future jobs.

Restoration & Refurbishment- 11 Dec 2018
Tomas and his associate did an amazing job for us from beginning to end. When quoting they were professional, polite and helpful. They explained all our options and helped us decide which was going to be right for us without being at all pushy. On the day we agreed for the job they turned up on time and worked quickly with a minimum of mess. They then made absolutely certain we were pleased with the result before cleaning up thoroughly. We were very happy with the result and would highly recommend using them.

Source FM recently helped us fit out a new 8000 sq ft warehouse in Hackney. The project included installing new electricals, installing new fire and security alarms, repairing and repainting a heavily used concrete floor, redecorating, servicing the heating etc. The project had a very tight time frame and Source FM often had to work around members of our team as we started moving in while work was still ongoing. I'm pleased to say, all the work was completed in time and to a very high standard. We've since used Paul and Bill for a number of smaller projects, both at the warehouse and in our offices.

Kitchen Fitting- 10 Apr 2023
I highly recommend Young's Joinery for any kitchen renovation project. They recently installed a new Howden's Kitchen for me and did an outstanding job. The installation included all cabinets, worktops, coloured backboard, and glass splashback. Young's Joinery went above and beyond by removing the existing extractor and coordinating with the electricians and plumbers I hired for the installation of new appliances such as the hob, oven, and fridge freezer. Additionally, they also fitted new window sills and flooring, which included replacement skirting, and fabricated a new island with a bespoke waterfall worktop. The kitchen was fitted impeccably, with tidy sealing, and they cleared the rubbish daily, keeping the work areas clean throughout the entire project. The estimates provided by Young's Joinery were very competitive, and their service was definitely worth considering. Although, it would be even better if they could offer project management services to further enhance the customer experience. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the exceptional work that Young's Joinery has done. Their attention to detail, expertise, and competitive pricing make them a reliable choice for anyone looking to remodel their kitchen.

Painting & Decorating- 8 Jun 2017
I'm not quite sure how my experience was so different to the other reviewers. Richards work was honestly pretty sloppy. When painting the wall next to doors he didn't use tape and has got grey paint all the way down our white doors. He couldn't be bothered to prep the surfaces even to a basic level, he left small holes unfilled and our paint job is covered in lumps and splatters which I've had to paintstakingly go round after to sand back and repaint. Richard is a lovely guy but I honestly think his eyesight must be failing because he couldn't see these issues without me pointing them out. I cancelled the job halfway through and painted the rest of it myself and although I'm not a professional painter decorator did a much better finish myself.

Handyman- 22 Dec 2024
Amarjeet completed the works to a basic minimum standard. The quote clearly listed 4 door handles (4 doors), removing a bathroom light fixing, silicone to one side of bath tub and putting up a shower pole (no drilling). When he arrived he tried to suggested each door had two handles so in his calculation there were 8 door handles. I disagreed and said I was very clear from the outset that there were 4 doors and all the handles needed changing. Amarjeet was unable to change the bathroom door handle. When it came to removing the ceiling light fixing he said that the electric had not been isolated and he would need to charge extra. I agreed and said that he could deduct charge for the bathroom lock and add a bit more. But he did not accept and charged an unreasonable amount. As for the silicone he was reluctant to remove all the old silicone and needed a few reminders. First unfortunate experience after many years on mybuilder.
