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- 15 Jan 2024
Gav is just starting out but in my opinion some more established tradesmen could take a leaf out of his book. From the very start his communication was excellent, texting letting me know exactly what time he would be arriving and confirming appointments. He was very punctual and a very nice lad easy to talk to to get any ideas across about the job. Gav painted a bedroom and hung some floating shelves and pictures for us, the work was carried out to a very high standard and there was no mess left after he finished. As stated he is a new business, but not new to the trades he offers if you are looking for a good job at a good price look no further, we are extremely happy with the work he did for us and will be using him again in the future.

Handyman- 7 Dec 2023
I posted a job and Jack got in touch, he came out to give a quote. He was in touch though out and didn’t seem to mind my endless questions. I needed a new door and repairs to the brick work. He sent me photos of my options for my new door. Jack arrived at my home on the day we’d agreed and was prompt. Unfortunately it was raining and cold but he carried on working till the job was done. He kept me informed what he was doing through out the entire job. The job site was left clean and tidy and he removed the old door and disposed of it for me. I would certainly use Jack again for any building work and would recommend him to others.

We booked Robert after I had seen some of his work on Facebook page, he was polite and professional from quoting to completion, we was having a new kitchen fitted and wanted the down stairs bathroom done too, he worked along side the kitchen fitter with ease (sometimes borrowing tools to him) he also cleaned up after himself and the kitchen fitter !! Robert completed the bathroom on time and perfect in every way he then was set to complete the tiled kitchen floor and again it was done to a professional manner and cleaned up afterwards, both jobs was completed to a professional level and we was very happy with his quality and quote…. We then asked for him to complete the main upstairs bathroom (which again was dated) Robert was quick and completed with again professionalism and was fully capable of completing all tasks from start to finish (this was a true bonus) we would like to recommend Robert to anyone considering upgrading or revamping there bathrooms and tiling

Bradley built us some bespoke understairs storage drawer units, panelling for our hallway, fitted our kitchen and utility and laid our wood flooring, as well as being part of the team working on our extension. He did an excellent job and paid a lot of attention to detail. He's a talented carpenter and builder and we're very happy with all his work. We are especially pleased the understairs storage which he created from scratch and worked out what was needed. He is very professional and reliable and we would happily recommend him.
