Handyman needed Wednesday 3 June in Goodmayes, RM6 4DE
£120
Hainault, Greater London
29th May 2026
I am the landlord of a house in Goodmayes, RM6 4DE, and I am looking for a handyman to fix 4 simple issues. Please see photos attached. The work required is as follows: 1. Light socket/bulb holder - The bulb holder on the first-floor corridor is faulty and no longer holds a bulb. Please replace it with a new holder and fit a new bulb. 2. Window handle - The window handle is broken. Please see the attached photo. The window is currently not closing properly and needs to be fixed. 3. Toilet seat - The toilet seat is brand new, but the tenants do not know how to install it. Please fit it securely for them. 4. Doorbell - The doorbell outside the house is no longer ringing. It may only need a new battery. If so, please buy and replace the battery. If the bell itself is faulty, please buy a basic replacement doorbell from the local shop, and fit it. ... Please note that the task involves you buying any necessary parts yourself from the local shop, with your own money, as I am currently out of the country and cannot do this myself. The cost of the parts should be included in your offer. I need someone on Wednesday 3 June at 4pm as my tenants will be home during that time.
Brilliant. Do not hesitate to book Wasif!
