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.

My garden had several broken fence posts and panels after recent rains. Jan removed the broken fence posts and installed a new one and took all necessary measures against rot. Jan replaced the fence panels and made sure they were at the correct height and line. Jan was a thorough professional, always on time. His quotation for the work was amongst the best ones. I highly recommend him and Solidfix Solutions.

Colin was employed by us to carry out a variety of building and decorating projects. Colin prepared and painted our downstairs rooms plus hall, stairs and landing to a high standard. He worked hard and methodically, and always cleared up well at the end of each day. Due to the quality of his work and his character, Colin was very reliable, always came when he said he would . Was friendly and respectful of our property and we were happy to leave him at work while we were out. We therefore asked him if he would give us an estimate for a shed that we wanted converted to an extra room. Colin was totally honest about what he could do and what would need another tradesman such as electrics and plumbing. We were very pleased with the finished result and he also laid a ceramic tile floor for us. On another occasion Colin did some general gardening for us and again we were very pleased. We would not hesitate in having Colin to do further work for us and would certainly recommend him.

Gabi carried out a new installation of an electric shower for us eight years ago. After asking us about our usage and requirements Gabi identified the solution and gave us the best quote. He carried out the work neatly and professionally, and was 100% reliable and trustworthy. I recommended Gabi to a colleague whose elderly parents had problems with their kitchen plumbing. They were more than happy with his prompt and efficient service. Since then Gabi has carried out numerous plumbing and handyman jobs for us and for my mother. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Ross and his team attended to our rental property in which they laid new vinyl. The tenant reported the shower was broke, his Electrician attended and found a fault with the shower and rectified the issue at a fraction of the cost of replacing a new shower. I can advise the landlady was very happy with this. His carpet cleaning team are very good there was a very large stain on the lounge carpet this was removed and again we have a very happy new tenant in the property and a very happy landlady. We had an issue with our plumbing in our new office Ross sent his plumber within the hour and the problem was sorted and we have no further issues. Highly recommend Ross and his team.

Andrew (Busy Brush) undertook a prolonged period of work at our house. This included plastering, decorating (internal and external), carpentry, central heating plumbing and 'odd jobs'. He was thoroughly professional at all times, being punctual and trustworthy. He kept us informed of progress and finished works in a timely manner. We were very pleased with the end result and the pricing was fair. We would not hesitate to recommend his work in the future.
