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- 24 Aug 2020
Unfortunately the work wasn’t completed to the standard we expected or achieved within the timescale due to a lack of preparation/organisation (3 full days). We have since had to contact an electrician to complete part of the job. The painting of our skirting boards needs corrections and we will now need to invest further time and money to finish the work needed.

Handyman- 18 Feb 2018
This wasn't the biggest job in the world and probably far too small for a lot of tradespeople to even bother with. However, for my Mum, who has severe mobility issues, a couple of loose handrails (the plugs and screws had come right out of the wall / plaster) is potentially very dangerous. Liam was quick to respond and because of the nature of the problem, promised to come the very next day. He phoned on the day to confirm his arrival, arrived punctually, and efficiently completed the job in a timely manner after having discussed a couple of options. Needless to say I'll happily offer Liam future jobs and have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

Fencing- 23 Aug 2020
Very pleasant and informative nature, with quick and competitive quotation. Neutral review due to being slightly disappointed. Reluctantly paid despite half of the work was still sub par & fence was still very mobile. Managed to remove old post and replace with new myself at a £24 cost and four hours work. A slightly expensive error.

Handyman- 2 Oct 2018
I was very disappointed by the service I received from Alan. One of the jobs we hired him for was to have a simple shelve put up in our bedroom. Alan drilled right through the wall into another internal room three times before he noticed what he had done. He did fill the holes and then came back to paint over them but there are still three very visible marks on the other side of the wall. When I messaged Alan to arrange for him to come back and do something about it, he simply ignored me. I would definitely NOT recommend Alan to anyone.

Handyman- 3 Oct 2018
Rafael did quite a few things when we bought our house before we moved in. He sanded the wooden floors and varnished them, painted one of room, fitted brackets for a wall mounted TV and other odd jobs, repairing some cupboards, changing some windows and various other things. He discovered the wooden structure of our terrace was rotten and we ended up asking Rafael to repair it and change the slats. He did a great job and we now have a nice wooden terrace we love. Communication was quite easy by text and email, Rafael is thorough and pays attention to details. He did a good job for all things we asked for. We will certainly work with him again if we need things done in the house.
