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.

Wayne came to see me gave a quote which I accepted he seemed a very nice reliable chap but has failed to turn up to do the job despite numerous reminders he has not bothered to do the job /despite saying he ordered the parts /weeks gone by now and won’t answer phone or texts so I would regard him as unreliable and a let down so beware

I could not be more happy with the service that I received from Home Services Corton. I spoke to Trevor about the job prior to his arrival and he was extremely polite and professional.

Electrical- 11 Dec 2013
After a couple of messages on MyBuilder, Peter was able to call to inspect/quote for and do the small job of wiring us an extra wall socket in the same visit. He worked extremely tidily and left the rooms/ floorboards etc. exactly as he had found them. He also made us aware of a minor fault in how our mains earth supply was wired/ how it was reading just outside the normal range, what might be the fault and what to do as a result (contact the leci supplier). This was all done in a way that was responsible, helpful but not alarmist. It left us with the impression of a capable, knowledgeable and trustworthy tradesman. His pricing was fair and we were very happy that the job could be done so quickly. Would use again on bigger jobs.

Bathroom Fitting- 22 Nov 2013
Gavin was superb from start to finish for my shower refurbishment. He visited to supply a quote very promptly and at short notice. I was immediately impressed, he is extremely professional, friendly and helpful. Gavin suggested options I hadn't even considered - in fact, he came up with a brilliant solution to my problem. He recommended suitable parts and options. The job was completed ahead of schedule to a fantastic standard. I couldn't have been more delighted with the work! The final fitted shower looks stunning. Gavin and his colleague Gary were a pleasure to deal with at all times, always punctual and extremely conscientious. I would give GCCS the strongest possible recommendation to all! Thank you so much for everything.

Kitchen Fitting- 8 Oct 2018
Mark and James were absolutely fantastic. We had just purchased a new flat and were three weeks away from the birth of our first child, so were very crunched for time in fitting our new IKEA kitchen. Mark was amazing - he and James tore out the old kitchen and had the entire new kitchen completely installed within 1 week for a very good price. The calibre of their work is excellent - the kitchen looks pristine and more beautiful than I thought possible! They worked tirelessly to ensure it was installed as quickly as possible. Mark also had some fabulous ideas and suggestions as they went along to make the kitchen even more functional. They were extremely professional throughout and very polite. We are so happy with their work and our new kitchen. I cannot recommend Mark highly enough - we will definitely use them again if we need anything else done on the flat!
