Handyman

What jobs can Handymen do?

Everyone has a list of little jobs around the house that need to be done and hiring a professional tradesperson for each one would be costly and time-consuming. This is where hiring a handyman or handywoman can help! Some of the jobs they can do include hanging curtains, pictures, shelves and mirrors, painting and decorating, assembling flat-pack furniture, fixing cupboards and drawers and basic gardening jobs. 

How much does it cost to hire a Handyman?

Handyman quotes will almost likely be based on an hourly rate of around £20 to £30, with rates varying depending on where in the UK you reside. Some dealers may negotiate a predetermined fee for a certain job, which you may prefer. Before you begin any work, make sure you know if the handyman will charge by the project or by the hour.
It is fair to request an estimate of how long the task will take, especially if they charge by the hour. As materials nearly always come at a cost, you may want to find them yourself to ensure you receive the greatest deal.

Hiring a Handyman

Checking a trader's references is usually a good idea. To ensure that the handyman's job is of a professional quality, ask for the contact information of at least three recent clients. Rather than relying simply on written references, call or meet with past employers. 

If you are hiring a handyman as part of a bigger project, you will need to plan ahead of time to accommodate the other tradespeople you have hired, since these minor jobs can be crammed in between the more important electrical, plumbing, flooring, and tiling works.

When should you hire a specialist instead of a handyman?

A handyman may have the expertise and experience to perform minor plumbing tasks, such as repairing washers, or modest electrical tasks that do not legally need the services of a licenced electrician, such as socket replacements. More technical work, on the other hand, should be left to trained electricians or plumbers. Keep in mind that many handymen work as self-employed people and are not covered by a trade association. Always hire a licenced Gas Safe Engineer for any work involving boilers or gas appliances.
