Hanging a picture, adjusting a door, changing a hard-to-reach bulb: small jobs pile up. A handyman can deal with them all in one visit if you organise them well.
What it usually includes
Hanging pictures, mirrors, shelves and curtain rails, adjusting doors and hinges, replacing simple parts, fixing loose items, assembling small accessories and doing minor repairs. For jobs that need a specific trade, such as electrical or plumbing installations, it is better to request an electrician or a plumber.
Make a list before requesting
Walk through the home and note everything pending, room by room. The more tasks you gather in one request, the easier it is to organise the visit and the tighter the offer. Put them in priority order in case time runs short.
How to describe each task
Say what needs doing, where, and the approximate size and weight (for example of a mirror or shelf) and the wall type: brick, plasterboard or concrete affect the fixings. Add photos of the trickiest spots.
Materials and tools
Make clear what you already have (screws, wall plugs, the item itself) and what the professional should bring. If parts need buying, mention it in the chat to agree who brings them.
Second homes and holiday rentals
Pending repairs show a lot in a rental. A handyman can use the gap between two stays; see our guides on holiday rental changeovers and second home checks.
What to expect
The professional does the agreed tasks, checks everything is firm and takes away what they generate. You agree the price before paying, and the payment is only released when you confirm the service.
