What do handyman services include?

Not everyone has the skills, tools, or time to tackle home maintenance and repairs, which is why handyman services are readily available to book on Airtasker. Save yourself the trouble of pulling a DIY by connecting with a reliable handyman near you. 

Here are some tasks you can request from your Tasker:

General handyman services

Most handymen are all-rounders, ready to take on a bit of everything around the house. When you hire one, you can sort out multiple issues in one fell swoop, from yanking up carpets and hanging doors to swapping out light bulbs.

Indoor installations and repairs

Struggling to install recently purchased homewares? Or perhaps you can’t replace your damaged appliances just yet? Handymen could easily smooth out these minor bumps. They are equipped to assist with tasks like putting up blinds and curtain rods, installing kitchen sinks and pet doors, and even wallpapering.  If you need a home security system installed, you can also book a Tasker to set this up for you.

Outdoor installations and repairs

Your outdoor area goes through the wringer, enduring everything from heavy rains to the mess left behind after playtime. To keep your backyard in tip-top shape, have outdoor items expertly installed or repaired. Seek out a handyman near you who can assist in tasks like putting up your garden shed or clothesline, mending windows, fixing your mower, and fitting outdoor blinds.

Bricklaying and building work

Handyman services can also cover basic home construction, such as bricklaying and building work. If you need a seasoned builder to help you put up garden walls, repair loose brickwork, install MDF, or construct a chicken coop, count on Taskers to handle them for you. For maintenance, you can also book separate services for gardening work or brick cleaning.

Wall hanging

If you need to free up space in the living room or garage, get a handyman to mount your TV or bicycle on the wall. Instead of pulling a DIY, working with a tradesperson for your wall hanging needs ensures your furnishings are level and fitted securely. Taskers can hang picture frames, mirrors, or heavier electrical items like dryers. Having trouble with your electrical wiring? Have it fixed beforehand by booking another service on Airtasker.

Furniture repair

Before having your broken furniture repaired, specify the type of furniture to make sure you get a Tasker whose skills align with your demands. For instance, get a Tasker with carpentry experience to repair your wooden coffee table, wardrobe, or sofa bed. If the issue is electrical work, such as fixing ceiling fans or digital fitness equipment, ensure your handyman is experienced in this area.

Home maintenance

When you have access to home maintenance services near you, it’s easier preserve your place’s top-notch condition. You can count on your local handyman to help with cleaning the gutters, pressure-washing driveways and paths, resealing windows and doors, and sorting out minor roof repairs. Avoid letting small issues turn into expensive problems with regular home maintenance.

Move awning from 1 wall to another in same garden

£200

Woodley, Berkshire

15th Apr 2025

Please see the pictures. I require someone to move the awning from the wall it is currently mounted on (indicated in the pictures by the red arrow) to the wall above the bi-fold doors (indicated in the pictures by the red brackets) This will involve lifting it from the brackets. Unbolting and removing the brackets from their current position, drilling, and then refitting the brackets in their new position, and then lifting and mounting the awning back on to the brackets. I will provide the anchor bolts for mounting in the new position. You will need to provide all tools to complete the job. No electrical wiring required. I will do that myself once it's been moved. You will need 2 people. This awning is 4m long and electronic. It's really very heavy and I will not be able to help you.

Floor fixing

£800

Earley, Berkshire

26th Mar 2025

We have observed a progressive decline, shrinkage, and weakening in the upstairs landing floor. This issue, which was not rectified during the recent carpet replacement, is a cause for concern. Additionally, the landing floor's condition appears to be affecting the structural support of the cabinet housing the hot water tank. We believe prompt repairs are necessary to address the landing's instability and ensure the safety and stability of the hot water tank cabinet
