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 Jan 2024
Radiator needed reattaching to the wall. He went to the job and reattached it to the wall. Far as I can tell that has been done properly. The radiator isn't working now. When I asked about it, he said he's a bit busy now and to ask any plumber. I said no because I wanted more information. I asked if he tested the radiator after reattaching. He replied that he's a handy man not a plumber, that he's fixed radiator back to wall, and if my valve is not working its not his problem. I think he could have handled that aspect better so neutral left.

Handyman- 27 Jun 2023
Gurukh spoke with me about doing my job. We agreed a price and I asked him to do the job. He said he wasn't sure whether he would be able to do it on the following Saturday or Sunday and would phone me to confirm the day he could do the job. By the Friday I hadn't heard from him, so telephoned him on numerous occasions throughout Friday. The first call I was able to leave a message on his answer machine asking him to phone me to let me know when he would be available to do the job. The other times my call was dropped. Would not recommend him to be reliable as it likely you would be let down like I was.

A very pleasant young man. Arrived early and worked quietly and quickly. Put up curtain pole and garden trellis, assembled a large garden store and very kindly moved 20 bags of compost off my drive and into my garden. Is able to do a great variety of jobs well. Would definitely recommend him.

DO NOT USE- Definition of a cowboy builder! Do not pay this man until he has fully completed all works and you are satisfied he has used the correct materials and not botched the whole job! John also operates under 'Oames Construction' and has had multiple failed businesses where he clearly has a theme of ripping customers off! My Builder was absolutely useless and advised the only thing they can do with poor tradesman is for the customer to leave a bad review or take the person to Small Claims Court, they do not accept any liability for the people they advertise! I will never use this platform again, I will only use Check a Trade who actually vet their tradesman and offer the customer a warranty!

Carpentry- 17 Nov 2018
This was a last minute job that I just did not want to tackle myself, so I placed it onto My Builder, Zac responded very soon after with a phone conversation and happily accepted the job. Zac was here before he was due to start work, he then went above and beyond what was expected and nothing was too much trouble for him, he did an excellent job and I had no hesitation in offering him more work straight away. I cannot recommend Zac highly enough, he was communicative, punctual and did a fantastic job, very professional; thank you Zac.

Alan did a good job of installing some vertical blinds, building a large and heavy chest of drawers, installing some after-market drawers in a kitchen cupboard and running the plumbing for my freezer behind the plinths - where I couldn't trip over it! He was friendly, polite and hard-working and his charges are very reasonable. I'd happily use Alan's services again: highly recommended!

Tiling- 6 Mar 2021
Harry has just completed on a 75sqm garage floor that was extremely uneven and required an experienced skill to level and the end result is absolutely amazing. There were 3 linked areas of the garage which were laid in a continuous run overcoming a graduated ramp which has now disappeared. I would recommend and use Harry again as he is truly a multi-tradesman, and a very pleasant guy to work with.
