What do handyman services in London include?

London Handymen 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 round 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 pulling up carpet, hanging doors, fixing broken appliances, 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.    

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.

Maintenance Sink

£60

Shoreditch, Greater London, EC2A

11th May 2026

Quite a simple job, as I was cleaning the kitchen sink, the plughole dosen't seem to attach to the drain anymore, I think it's just because the filaments got used in time. And as we're doing this I was thinking to might as well do a cleaning of the sink unit. There is a hardware store 2 mins from my building in case we need replacements.

Literally the best experience, good price, good communication, was very fast and efficient. Very good. Would gladly book him again!

Install 2x shower screen

£250

Ealing, Greater London

4th May 2026

I will need a screen above the bath, and a frameless shower screen installed, I also need 2 toilet roll holders installed onto tiled walls. One screen is a straightforward/simple screen installation. The second screen/door is more complex and includes a bespoke glass shower door/screen setup with: 8mm toughened glass, 667mm wide x 2100mm high (measurements in pictures) 3 wall-to-glass 90° shower hinges 1 double pull glass door knob (predrilled) Glass-to-wall seal Glass-to-floor seal Pre-cut hinge cut-outs 12mm drilled hole for handle These parts and materials will be supplied by me. The quote should reflect that this is not just two basic screens. One installation is simple, but the second requires accurate fitting of hinges, seals, and handle hardware on a bespoke glass panel. Please only quote if you have experience fitting frameless or semi-frameless glass shower screens/doors.

They did a great job! Would recommend
