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.

Hired Gordy to install a staircase to our attic, after a visit, had the quote in a few days. Delighted with the staircase, exactly as it was decribed. Nothing was to much hassle when asked and the guys left the area clean and tidy each night before leaving. Will be contacting again for further work and passed on his number to family. Thanks again

Joinery & Cabinet Making- 27 Mar 2022
Stewart’s problem-solving skills were put to good use in dealing with my challenging kitchen with its uneven walls, pipework obstructions and sloping floor. He takes pride in his work, paying close attention to detail and not satisfied until everything was perfect and all cupboards were exactly aligned and the beautiful worktop was a perfect fit and with amazing invisible joins. Stewart is a master of his craft and did the work at a very reasonable price. I now have a fantastic kitchen and I couldn’t be happier with it - a big success!

Landscaping- 24 Jun 2022
Do NOT trust this man to do a a good job & then take responsibility for his work. The job was on a rental property, everything was organised remotely & I never met him. The job was to level & clear the existing vegetation,& lay membrane and stones, which to any experienced landscaper would obviously include removing the roots to ensure nothing comes through the membrane once the job is completed. I asked him, directly to make it maintenance free. I paid him £800 for the job, initially I was pleased with the work & left positive feedback which I have since removed. I visited the job 3 months later & was shocked. There are Brambles coming up through the membrane & the stones that he put down is so thin in places you can see the membrane. I tried contacting, (phone,email,letter) him to discuss it but he did not respond until I went to his house and he just shut the door. I received a letter from him stating that as I did not specifically say the roots need to be removed, he is not responsible & will not make reparation unless I paid him, upfront to return to fix the problem. He also said that, persons have walked on the stone which would puncture the membrane and allow things to grow, which definitely was not the case. No one had walked on it at all & even if they had, that would not account for the Bramble shoots. As I said at the beginning, DO NOT ENTRUST this man with your property, he's as slippery as a fish. £800 wasted, thank you very much, Gareth.
