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- 13 Aug 2024
Jeremy started by taking the work on with no issues what so ever and appeared helpful and professional and nothing was to much trouble . HOWEVER.... Jeremy gave a estimate of 10 day for the work to be completed 3 months later... I am now paying someone to Fix his shoddy work and finish what he started leaving telling me "he over ran" this is was in face due to the fact in outsourced the work to other unreliable trades persons who did eventually complete the work however massively over charge and are days late with no justification. There is so much here I could write but I am reserving this for the process I am to start. All I would say is DO NOT get him to do your work I am now paying even more money, having paid HIM 5k to fix is mess. "Obsolutely disgraceful" are the words of the tradesmen fixing it. Quality of a "POOR DIY JOB" has also been said. Please yourself a favour and do not employ. Lee the electrician he works with I have no issues. How work is fine...

Bathroom Fitting- 1 May 2018
My work involved replacing wet room with shower tray. In addition, one wall tile needed replacement. Apart from that a number of small fixes and finishing jobs needed to be done. I think Tadeusz is a very good fit for this. He did all the jobs and charged reasonable for the extra work as well.

Handyman- 7 Mar 2024
handyman jan arrived half an hour too early. he was polite and ok friendly but not very talkative. he did the job according to my description (to lift a few floor boards in order to see what is underneath). he cut more carpet out than i had instructed which i did not like. it was an easy job and it took him 2 hours. he is too expensive at £80 per hour. when you want to pay per bank transfer with an invoice you have to pay more. cash on hand is only £70. i provided free parking for him in central london. i would not use him again because of his price. far too expensive.

Painting & Decorating- 6 Dec 2023
As you see i asked for paint walls, ceiling and all skirting boards well thats not the case but they did a very good job besides not skirting boards.His father work was excellent and the site was good but some so called people on this site dont know what they are doing so watch who you pick on this site and also make sure that all work is put down on paper and the price is agreed by both of us so that the price is not changed later in the work.As OAPs dont get taken for a ride.

Handyman- 17 Oct 2023
Had a few issues regarding things being not hung properly however he did come back to rectify the problem. Not all of the things I needed doing got done as he charges by the hour not the day and also I had to go out on the afternoon. Pleasant chap though. Think he could do with charging a daily rate then there wouldn't be such a rush to get the job done.
