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- 27 Apr 2016
Matthew did an excellent job of my kitchen floor, I would definitely have him do more tiling work if I need it and recommend him to friends and family needing his services. He was prompt and very conscientious in his work and advised me of the correct treatment for my tiles as I thought they needed to be sealed. He completed the job in the time he said he would and even fitted a couple of toilets for me as extra. His pricing was very fair and I am extremely pleased with his work.

Electrical- 24 Nov 2017
100% Recommended. I asked Mark to do a very difficult install, one which several others had declined or else wanted a small fortune (and two guys) to even attempt. Mark completed the job whilst making it look simple, for a very good price. He proved very easy and pleasant to work with, honest, reliable and efficient he also came upo with several very good design ideas and saved money on fittings where it made sense to do so. Ill be using him for all electrical work going forward. He also does decorating / refurbishment work / kitchens and bathrooms Thanks very much and good luck with your business.

Carpentry- 19 Feb 2022
Can’t comment on Corey’s work because the job was not performed (fitting doors). Communication was poor after I gave him the job - as allegedly he ‘didn’t receive notifications on his phone’ when I text him to check he was still available to start on the date agreed. Then eventually 2 days before starting, and just after I’d had all the materials delivered, he sent me a message informing me his tools had been stolen 3days earlier and would not now be able to start the job. Make of that what you will… Lesson learned on my part, pick up the phone and call the tradesperson to get updates. But works both ways and giving your customer no working days notice of issues that arise some days earlier that might impact the jobs start date is not a great way to operate as a self employed trades person.

Kitchen Fitting- 11 Dec 2021
I was very pleased with the work SAJ carried out for me - He turned up when he said he would and at very short notice - worked steadily and conscientiously and adjusted flexibly to the unexpected challenges of an unseen, non-standard kitchen fitting job which included (after checking with us) going out and obtaining parts he discovered we needed and completing the job all in one day. I was so impressed that I paid him more than he asked for. Quality should be rewarded.

Central Heating- 11 Dec 2024
Replaced my old radiator with one half the size, only 60cms wide in a largish front room that's open plan to the stairs. The room is freezing compared to the other rooms in the house. I told him that you need to calculate the radiator sizes in relation to the room to ensure even heating throughout my flat which he would have known anyway.

David recently installed a new bathroom for me. He completely removed the old bathroom, stripped down the walls and ceiling and re-plastered them. He tiled the walls and floor and fitted the new bathroom to my satisfaction. He removed all the old pipes and fittings and did not try to cut corners, like other trades persons that I have used in the past. He finished the job by painting the walls and ceiling with suitable paint. David was very helpful with his advice and always courteous. He worked fixed hours and ensured that the job was done on time. As there is only one bathroom in the flat, he ensured that I was left with appropriate toilet facilities at the end of each day's work. He even helped removed all of the rubbish generated from the work and ensured that the whole area was clean after completing the work. I would thoroughly recommend David as a reliable and affordable tradesman and would be happy to answer any specific queries about his work.
