How to find a reliable, local handyperson near you
If you’ve ever tackled a home improvement project, you know that sometimes you need a helping hand.

That’s where a handyperson comes in – skilled at all manner of work and ready to help you get all of your odd jobs ticked off.
Why hiring a handyperson is important
A handyperson can carry out a range of jobs around the home that you can’t or don’t want to do yourself. They’re also skilled at a wide range of repairs and maintenance work.
If you bought some flat pack furniture and you’ve been frantically typing ‘how to put up furniture’ in an online search engine ever since, then leave the furniture assembly to a handyperson. They also specialise in wall mounting objects like shelves, mirrors, TVs and photos – so you can finally get that photo wall you’ve been dreaming of.
What a handyperson can help you with
Handypeople are worth their weight in gold when it comes to property maintenance! Here are a few of the odd jobs handypeople can help with:
- Flat pack furniture assembly
- Hanging photos, mirrors, TVs, or curtain rails on walls
- Mowing your lawn
- Minor plumbing tasks such as fixing a leaky bathroom sink or unclogging a shower drain
- Installing or repairing bathroom or kitchen tiles
- Basic carpentry work, such as minor furniture repair and building shelves
- Small paint jobs that don’t require a painter/decorator
- Cleaning your driveway
- Fixing a broken fence or gate
For bigger plumbing, carpentry, painting or gardening projects, you’ll need a carpentry specialist, plumber, painter or gardener.
Handypeople tend to charge by the hour, so they can carry out a number of tasks in one visit. Make sure you include all the repair and furniture assembly jobs you want to get done when you post a job, so you can get an accurate quote and help your handyperson plan their time.
Factors to consider when choosing a handyperson near me
A reliable handyperson can make your life easier, saving you time and energy, and all while ensuring your home projects are completed to a high standard. To ensure you’re making the right choice, pick a handyperson who:
- Is highly experienced, with a strong history of quality projects
- Has all the right licenses and insurance needed to protect you
- Has a good range of positive reviews from previous clients
- Is offering the services you need, and is able to carry out the work in the timeframe you need it by
- Is quoting a price and payment option that you are happy with, having compared the quote with other handypeople

Paid £650 to damp proof a small area next to my patio door and as at today the area is still wet. Contacted Michael numerous times as he said that the work is guaranteed for 10 year and I can contact him anytime if there is any issues but I’ve had no response. Will write this one off as a bad experience and will get a reputable company to correct it. I will not be using this company again and would not recommend as I don’t believe that damp proofing is something that he does.

They came and looked at the problem and immediately gave a great quote. They came back at the arranged time, sorted out a broken tile and attempted to fix the gutters. They said if there was any issue, to call them and they would came back. Most was perfect, just a few small leaks remaining after heavy rains, but they came back promptly and fixed everything. Very friendly, excellent service, highly recommended.
