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.

Keith has helped design and fit our kitchen/utility room. Has re felted the flat roof on my garage and extension. He is currently fitting all my doors, skirtings and door linings. He boarded up and plastered doors where we have removed cupboards and larders. Great job, very reliable and multi trade so i would highly recommend him. I'm an electrician so work with a lot of builders so i can recognise a good workman.

Ric is an affable, knowledgeable, intelligent, reliable professional, initially he provided some useful advice during his estimate and then went on to lay our chosen skirting in a professional and technically adept manner. He kept us informed of costs throughout the installation and the quality of his workmanship is apparent. I would not hesitate to recommend him and I would use him again.

Painting & Decorating- 5 Aug 2014
We employed Dave to carrying out a complete redecoration of our 4-bed semi. The spec was to repaint, walls, ceiling and woodwork and wallpaper a number of feature walls, also to make a few small repairs to skirting boards. The work that actually carried out far surpassed this with Dave taking on lots of extra odd-jobs whilst he was here in order to help us achieve a good finish. This included taking up carpets, sanding down our staircase, making and fitting a cupboard door, and fitting PVC window sils. Many of these were at Dave's suggestion and with no extra cost to us. Whilst carrying this out, there was never a problem in them taking down/putting up curtain poles and shelving in order to carry out the work. In fact, nothing was ever too much trouble for any of the team. Even when we decided to change the colour of the hallway half way through the job, they were extremely happy to accomodate us and helped us to choose a new colour. On the odd occasion I was not happy with the finish, Dave was approachable and was soon able to put the matter right. They worked tidyly and conscientiously of our one year old, always took any mess they generated to be disposed of. They were always on time and willing to work weekends to get the job finished. Dave is a genuine, friendly person who enjoys what he does which made the upheaveal of having work done in our home much more of a pleasure than expected. We will certainly be happy to have him and his team back in the future.

Rob and his son, Luke, did an excellent job of plastering and decorating our hallway and staircase. Their quote was very reasonable compared to lots of others we received and we were very pleased with the work and attention to detail. They were polite and friendly and did a great job of cleaning up. We also trusted them to stay in the house when we were not at home and lock up the property. We would definitely use them again and recommend them to others.
