What do handyman services include?

Handymen with good customer service can tackle a wide range of indoor and outdoor home DIY tasks. Here are some tasks you might ask a local handyman near you to pop around and help with:

General handyman services

Got a list as long as your arm of odd jobs that need a handyman to complete? Hire general labour handymen to get several things done at once. They can help with general maintenance tasks such as pulling up a carpet, hanging doors, fixing broken appliances and replacing light bulbs, garden work, and more. 

Indoor installations and repairs 

A local handyman can help install newly bought homewares or fix broken possessions (so you can hopefully save some money). For example, they can help with DIY blind installation and repairs, fitting and repairing the kitchen sink, fitting pet doors, hanging shower screens, and even wallpapering. They’ll get it done using their own specialist tools and will let you know if you need to provide or pay for any additional materials.

Outdoor installations and repairs 

Your outdoor area and belongings have to deal with a lot. So help them withstand whatever nature (or your family) throws at them for longer by getting them professionally installed or repaired. Find a handyman who can help with garden shed installation, BBQ repair, fitting outdoor blinds, window repairs, fixing your mower, putting up your clothesline, and even repairing your kids’ trampoline.  The cost of these services varies. You can learn how much letterbox replacement costs or how much window blinds installation costs with our price guides.

Bricklaying and building work

You can hire a handyman near you with bricklaying and building experience to help build garden walls, repair loose brickwork, install MDF, or even construct a chicken coop. When getting quotes from tradesmen, mention if you’ve got the building materials already, or if you’d like them to supply the materials as part of the job.   

Wall hanging

From pictures and TVs to bike racks and mirrors - if you need help with wall mounting, get a DIY handyman to fit your furnishings securely and make sure they’re level. Most handymen will bring their own tools, but you may need to supply extra materials such as screws, picture wire, or mounts for heavier electrical items like TVs and driers. 

Furniture repair

When booking a handyman for furniture repair, you’ll need to be specific about the furniture that needs fixing. For example, handymen with carpentry experience may better if it’s your wooden coffee table, wardrobe, or sofa bed that need repairing. Meanwhile, a handyman with electrical experience may be right for any ceiling fan or digital fitness equipment fixes. That’ll ensure you get the best handyman near you for the job, plus the right tools to get it done.

TV antennae plug has receeded inside the wall and needs to be fixed.

$40

St Peters NSW, Australia

16th Mar 2024

I'm unable to plug in the TV as the receiver end of the plug in the wall has receeded inside the wall. I also need someone who's not only capable of fixing this, but will also hang a couple of items on the wall for me - one that weighs 6 kgs and requires a plug in the wall I'd imagine (which I'd like you to have please as I wouldn't know what to get) and also another item weighing 15kgs which will also require plugs. Not essential, but would be welcome, is someone who might also have a look and see if you can work out why my washing machine keeps stopping. I realise this might be a specialist washing repair job, but if you'd be willing to look and see if it's something obvious that I haven't noticed, that would be appreciated.

Brilliant service! Peter has SKILLS! He seems to be able to do everything! I'm so glad I've found him since I've not long lived in the area. Friendly, polite, prompt, efficient and conscientious. He's someone who genuinely cares about doing a good job. Electrical, plumbing, carpentry - all handled really well. He will definitely be my go to man from here on. Thanks for coming to do these jobs so quickly today Peter (and on a Sunday)!

Replace old business sign with new

$120

Waterloo NSW, Australia

13th Mar 2024

1. Take down the old sign (stuck on with liquid nails) 2. Put up the new sign up (also probably with liquid nails or some sort of adhesive). 3. Dispose of the old sign. Both signs are Acrylic. The first photo is the old sign "PBT Fit" and the new sign is "3DANKS". The new sign should be exactly the same size so it should be a fairly simple and quick job.

Anthony really took the time to make sure the sign was stuck. Even had to go to Bunnings and buy another adhesive out of his money - well worth the money!
