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.

Bathroom Fitting- 5 Aug 2023
Took way too long with poor excuses for not finishing on time. Left no spare tiles and since one on floor has cracked. Cut corners on piping in my loft resulting in my hallway being flooded and costing to be re plastered and re decorated in hall. All because of lazy plumbing in loft. Don’t think he even trades as a builder any more thank goodness. Or this could happen to somebody else. AVOID

Bathroom Fitting- 20 May 2025
Kev renovated my bathroom really nicely ,however after one month my shower has started to leak causing my roof to fall. I have tried getting in contact with him however he keeps fobbing me off and has now blocked my phone. I have rang from a different number which he answered and said he’ll get back to me and not called back now. Very disappointed with him.

Plastering- 26 Oct 2023
Booked to repair the crack in the ceiling. We have agreed on repairing the crack and paint the wall once the ceiling is dry. The ceiling crack was repaired but he never returned to do the paint and finish the job, called and left messages multiple times but no avail. Now the ceiling is left with massive patch and dirt marks everywhere on the wall.

Just be very wary of this one. From my recent experience using them, they like to take on jobs which are bigger than there expertise. I purchased a garden gym pod and these guys claimed that they could put it up in the same time as the manufacturer. We agreeded on a day and half for the job, but it ended up taking them 3.5 days to put up and not correctly even though they are trying to invoice the full amount for there poor workmanship. My review is to avoid, as my pod have water ingression from the roof been poorly fixed, they have a lack of time management, they leave food waste and cigarette buds hidden In your garden, inviting rodent. Look at the picture, enough reason to use someone else.
