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.

The work includes: Assembly Tasks: • Assemble 1x double wardrobe (flat-pack – image provided) • Assemble 2x bedside tables (flat-pack – image provided) • Assemble 1x king-size bed (image provided) Installation Tasks: • Hang 30–40 items including: • Mirrors • Pictures • Bathroom fixtures (toilet roll holder, towel rail, etc.) • Install 3x Venetian blinds Requirements: • Must bring your own tools (drill, screwdriver, level, etc.) • Experience with furniture assembly and secure wall-mounting • Ability to work efficiently and neatly • Able to advise on appropriate fixings if needed (plasterboard, brick, tile, etc.)


Unfortunately, we couldn’t get the timing to align on this occasion, which was disappointing as I was keen to get the task done.

Hopefully things work out more smoothly next time.

Looking for a broken spring to be replaced on my leather sofa


Had a broken spring in my sofa that made it super uncomfortable to sit on. Ion came by to fix it and did a great job — quick, friendly, and knew exactly what he was doing. The sofa feels solid again, like it did when it was new. Way cheaper and easier than buying a whole new one. Definitely glad I called Ion!
