Small jobs and general repairs around the home
Handyman Services
Handyman services cover general small jobs around the home — shelving, minor repairs, flat-pack assembly, curtain poles and general odd jobs — that don't need a specialist trade visit on their own.
Definition
What handyman involves
Handyman work covers the general, lower-complexity jobs that keep a home in good order but don't warrant booking a specialist tradesperson individually: hanging shelves and pictures, minor carpentry repairs, flat-pack furniture assembly, and similar small tasks, often bundled together into a single visit.
Suitable for
- Shelving, picture hanging and curtain poles
- Flat-pack furniture assembly
- Minor repairs — sticking doors, loose handles, small carpentry fixes
- A list of several small jobs bundled into one visit
Not suitable for
- Gas or electrical work requiring a certified specialist — we'll advise if your job needs a Gas Safe engineer or qualified electrician instead
- Structural repairs, which need a proper assessment rather than a general handyman visit

Handyman FAQs
Can I book a handyman for a list of unrelated small jobs?
Yes, that's exactly what this service is for — bundling several small, unrelated jobs into a single visit rather than booking separate trades for each one.
