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- 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.

Handyman- 26 Sep 2023
Be cautious with this individual! We had agreed on a quote, but not even halfway through the job, he claimed that we needed four fire door frames and quoted 3k for them. It's highly concerning to replace four fire door frames for only 3k. It seems like an excuse to abandon the job. He cannot be trusted. During the initial stages, he painted an overly positive picture of the job, but his workmanship is subpar, as evidenced by the poor refurbishment he previously carried out.#COWBOY

Carpentry- 24 Oct 2023
His carpentry skills weren't that good at 70 years old his door hanging wasn't good. I had to reposition both doors as hinges squeaking due to dot being square to the frame, also on drilling for catches he came through the side. I suggested if he had the door jigs like door hangers have it wouldn't have happened. I accepted a £20 reduction due to the catch error.

James is excellent. I was slightly cautious due to him being brand new on the site with no reviews but it’s now the end of the job and I can vouch for his excellent skills, his honesty and hard work. He was great and did my job really well. You won’t be disappointed if you hire him.

Excellent communication from the start and extremly polite. Very reasonably priced and his work was excellent. It was only a small job but he was very keen to help and arrived early and we were delighted with the outcome. We would have no hesitation in using Ferenc again

Handyman- 14 Jul 2018
Would not recommend. Grouping poor & cracking, tiles not flush causing build up of grime. Cases not fixed properly. Chipped window sill. Flooring starting to move. Didn't want to leave feedback but 2 years on and we are having to have things replaced. Don't want to ask them back as getting them to replace our bath they broke was drama enough. A lot of money spent on this project we'd of never expected to have to touch it for years. Very disappointing
