Hiring handymen: what to know
Local handymen tackle a wide range of smaller maintenance tasks — furniture assembly, picture and mirror hanging, door and drawer adjustment, minor plastering, gutter clearing, fence repair, and general household fixes. Many operate on a day-rate or hourly basis and can work through a list of jobs in a single visit.
What to check before hiring
Ask whether the handyman carries public liability insurance — it is not a legal requirement but is standard good practice. For any gas or electrical elements of a job, confirm the handyman holds the relevant certification (Gas Safe or Part P) before authorising those specific tasks, as unqualified work on regulated systems is illegal.

Search TradrLink for handymans in your area and read their customer reviews. Profiles with multiple recent reviews and clear photos of completed work are the most reliable guide to quality. Contact two or three to compare before deciding.
How much does a handyman typically charge?
Costs vary depending on the job size and complexity, your location, and the individual business. The best approach is to request quotes from two or three handymans on TradrLink - most provide a free, no-obligation quote so you can compare fairly.
What should I look for when hiring a handyman?
Look for genuine customer reviews, photos of relevant completed work, clear communication when you first make contact, and a professional written quote before any work starts. A handyman who ticks all those boxes is worth hiring.

Most handymans on TradrLink respond within a few hours. Contact them directly through their profile and they'll typically arrange a call or site visit to discuss your requirements and provide a quote.
