What do handyman services include?

Have some untackled DIY tasks at home that you can’t seem to find time for? Find a highly skilled handyman near you with remarkable customer service by using Airtasker. 

Here's a list of some handyman services you might find useful:

Handyman service - general handyman

Start chipping away at that growing list of odd jobs around the house. By hiring a general labour handyman or a small jobs handyman near you, you can get several things done expertly and efficiently. Request your Tasker to help you with tasks like pulling up carpets, replacing light bulbs, or hanging shelves so you can focus on finishing work, running your business, or taking care of your kids.

Handyman service - indoor installations and repairs

Whether you need assistance with installing newly bought homeware or fixing old ones to avoid purchasing replacements, you can hire a handyman to cover for you. Have them work on installing curtain rods and blinds, fitting the kitchen sink, setting up pet doors, and even wallpapering. If a home security system is what you need installed, you can book a separate service to make this happen.

A handyman can also help with soundproofing a room. If you're wondering about soundproofing cost, pricing varies based on materials, room size, and labour—get a quote to find the best option for your budget.

Handyman service - outdoor installations and repairs

Your outdoor setup tends to take a beating, from heavy rains or the messy aftermath of kids playing. Keep your backyard in top shape by getting outdoor items fixed up right. Find a handyman near you who can tackle tasks like setting up your shed foundation, patching up windows, getting your mower back in action, building a garden shed within your budget, and installing some outdoor blinds.

Need extra privacy? You can also have a handyman screen on your porch to create a more secluded and comfortable outdoor space.

Handyman service - bricklaying and building work

If you’re in need of basic home construction, go for handyman services provided by Taskers with ample bricklaying and building experience. These experts can help you build garden walls, repair loose brickwork, install MDF, or even construct a chicken coop. To maintain these areas, you can also hire Taskers to perform gardening work or brick cleaning as needed.

Handyman service - wall hanging

Want to free up space by mounting your TV or bicycle on the wall? Get a handyman for any wall hanging needs to ensure your furnishings are level and fitted securely. From picture frames and mirrors to heavier electrical items like dryers, count on your Tasker to do a thorough job. Need help with your cable TV wiring? You can also book a service for this on Airtasker.

Handyman service - furniture repair

When booking a repairman for furniture fixes, be specific about the item that needs fixing to make sure you hire the right people. For example, handymen with carpentry experience may be suitable if you’re looking to have your wooden coffee table, wardrobe, or sofa bed repaired. On the other hand, hire a tradie with electrical experience for fixing ceiling fans or digital fitness equipment.

Handyman service - home maintenance

Keeping your home in top-notch condition is a breeze when you have access to regular home maintenance services near you. A local handyman can help with cleaning the gutter, pressure-washing driveways and paths, resealing windows and doors, and working on minor roof repairs. Regular home maintenance can prevent small issues from turning into costly problems, keeping your place looking schmick and running smoothly.

I have a concealed toilet installed, but I need to add an angle valve

$450

Balwyn VIC, Australia

22nd Apr 2025

Because of aesthetic considerations, the builder installed a concealed (in-wall) toilet. So apart from the flush plate, nothing is visible outside. I assume the cistern is located behind the tiles and fixed to a timber frame. What we probably need to do is install a T-joint (or a T-connector) at the water inlet of the cistern, then connect a pipe through the gap between the cistern and the timber frame, drill a hole in the tiles, and install an angle valve at the hole. This job likely requires a plumber who has experience doing this kind of work before.

Install timber wall panels and floating shelf

$300

Canterbury VIC, Australia

7th Apr 2025

Hi there, I’m looking for a reliable and experienced person to install some timber wall panels in an interior room. There are 7 panels to be installed - I’d like panels to be screwed (using black screws) into studs rather than using glue. Wall is 400 (w) x 300cm (h). Each panel is 60 (w) x 280cm (h) so there’s no need to cut panels for height, but you’ll need to make some cuts in panels to allow for a couple of in-wall speakers and GPOs (see photos). I’d also like an IKEA floating shelf (110cm) installed over the timber panels once installed. Wednesday 9 April or Friday 11 April works best for me. Thanks Lawrence.

Lina is a wizard with the tools, if I could give 6 stars, I would. Super responsive, punctual, hard working, did a great job and it was a pleasure to deal with. I’d very happily work with him again.
