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.

Mr Clinton Biggs did quite a bit of work for us, he decorated the whole house, installing panelling in most of the room’s and hallway, installing cornice in all rooms, painting and general repairs, completely replacing bathroom and en-suite,. He also did a complete make over of the garden, installing decking and slate paving, building raised beds and installing an arch. He completed work for our Son, installing decking in the garden and decorating his house. When working on our house he was approached by our neighbour, who asked him to decorate his hallway, and other rooms, which he did. I highly recommend Mr Clinton Biggs to be an excellent builder/decorator, he is trustworthy and reliable. I also found him to be good value for money.

Bathroom Fitting- 13 Nov 2020
We hired Steve to replaced a bathroom we had done previously by a complete cowboy. I’m so glad that we choose Steve for the job, he did the most amazing work him and his small team. They tiled and fitted 3 bathrooms to a very high standard and fitted our kitchen & utility. He rectified all the things that the previous builder didn’t finish and had left in extremely poor quality. New doors fitted and staircase completed. All done with the highest standard at a fantastic price. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and definitely use him again. He is very professional & highly skilled, him and his team very committed and extremely tidy.

I'm a part time handyman looking to do all those small jobs that a full time tradesman won't do! I am a time served installation fitter but haven't worked in industry for a long time. I have completed several full kitchen and bathroom installations, plastering and tilling jobs and carried out a full house renovation. Although not looking for such big jobs now I am wanting to help fix your home for you! No job too small (but might be to big!😃)
