Handyman near you

Common handyman problems

• Doors, cupboards and drawers that stick or have come loose
• Shelves, curtain poles, blinds and pictures to put up
• Flat-pack furniture to assemble
• A list of small repairs before a tenant or guests arrive

When it may need urgent attention

Most handyman work is routine. If something is unsafe, such as a loose stair rail or a broken window catch, mention it so it can be done first.

Before you book

• Write a list of everything you want done; it helps the contractor plan one visit.
• Say what fixings or parts you already have.
• Mention the wall type if you know it (plasterboard, brick or stone).

Qualifications and safety

Handymen can do minor like-for-like electrical jobs, but new circuits or work in bathrooms is notifiable and needs a registered electrician. Any gas work needs a Gas Safe registered engineer.
