Top Handyman related questions

Hiring a handyman

can cost anywhere between £50 to £150 per hour, depending on the complexity of the task, the time and tools required, and your location. For a more accurate estimate, request a detailed quote from your Tasker.

Posting a job on Airtasker is the best way to find an expert in home maintenance service near you. The transparent review system on the platform can help you select the most qualified Tasker to complete your task to a high standard.

It varies depending on your handyman's skill set. They may either specialise in particular areas or offer general home maintenance services. To make sure you get the right expert, be as specific and detailed when posting your task.

A handyman typically handles smaller, day-to-day repairs and maintenance tasks around the home. On the other hand, a contractor manages larger-scale projects that require specific licences and expertise, taking on tasks like project management and coordination.

Handyman services can cover minor electrical tasks such as replacing light fixtures, installing ceiling fans, replacing outlets and switches, and installing new electrical appliances. However, they may not be licenced to work on more complex tasks such as wiring upgrades or major repairs. For any electrical work that poses potential safety hazards, consult a qualified electrician.

Yes, many handymen provide emergency repair services for urgent issues like replacing broken locks, fixing leaking taps, minor electrical faults, or patching damaged drywall. However, availability may vary based on location and the type of emergency. For critical issues like major plumbing issues or electrical problems, a licensed specialist may be required.

Absolutely! Most handymen offer multiple services in a single visit, making them a convenient option for tackling a to-do list of repairs, installations, or home maintenance tasks. You can book them for a range of jobs like repairing furniture, fixing door handles, installing shelves, and even minor interior painting touch-ups—all in one session.

Yes, while handymen can handle many home repair and maintenance tasks, there are some jobs they cannot legally perform without the proper licence. In Australia, major electrical, plumbing, and structural work typically require a licensed contractor. Similarly, tasks like gas fitting, asbestos removal, or large-scale renovations should be handled by specialised professionals. Always check local regulations before hiring a handyman for complex jobs.

Handyman Services

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.

Plumbing Repair – Kitchen Sink Leak

£45

Shepherd's Bush, Greater London

21st Feb 2025

Task: Plumbing Repair & Bosch Dishwasher Issue I need a plumber to fix a leak under my kitchen sink that occurs when the washing machine is running. I believe the issue might be due to some adjustments I made to the pipes recently. Please refer to the attached photos for a better understanding of the situation. Additionally, my new Bosch dishwasher has been installed but is showing an E:61 error. Please see my other task under my profile for further details regarding the dishwasher issue. If possible, it would be great if the same person could handle both tasks. I will pay separately for each job. Thank you!

I am extremely pleased with Joshua's service! He promptly fixed the leak under my kitchen sink that occurred when the washing machine was running. The issue was due to adjustments I'd made to the pipes, and he resolved it efficiently. Additionally, he addressed the error on my new Bosch dishwasher, getting it running flawlessly. It was fantastic to have someone who could handle both tasks professionally.

Fix trellis and gutter on shed (you'll need van)

£150

Shacklewell, Greater London

7th Feb 2025

Hello! There are three parts to this job. You will need a van to complete it. There are parking meters nearby you can park at which are relatively inexpensive. Install Handrail We have the handrail (small – 1.6m). You’ll need to install it near the steps leading down to the flat (see pic). You’ll need a drill and rawl plugs. Replace Trellis. I need a section of trellis removed and a new section installed. This will involve… Cutting back some ivy and a climber first – bagging it up (appreciate it if you bring the bags – but if this is an issue I can order some in) and taking away the cuttings (don’t anticipate this being a lot – see photo). The existing trellis is around 180cm x 90cm, so before you head to the job I’ll need you to pick up a new section. E.g. this for £13. https://www.wickes.co.uk/Forest-Garden-Smooth-Planed-Trellis-Panel---900-x-1800mm/p/223700 Secure shed guttering. Some of the guttering has come away from the garden shed. I just need this re-affixed. If you don’t have a van, can’t take away the anticipated couple of bags of cuttings or pick up the fence I’d appreciate it if you pass on this one. I’m looking for someone to come in and sort this out with minimal hassle on our behalf. And if it goes smoothly I’ll add you to my contacts. I’ve usually got multiple things going on throughout the year. 🙏 I’ve posted this job at £150 which I think is a fair price. This includes cost of panel (around £15) and parking which will only be a few quid. Any questions – pls ask. Steve

Great communication and workmanship. Thank you Kevin :)
