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.

The fan has three wires and the wiring is not very clear in our house where the fan will be fitted.

This is not just the usual two wires for a light fitting otherwise I would have done it myself. I just don't want to risk it being installed incorrectly! This is the fan: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CQJZ1RPJ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Dean did a great job! Fan fitted and working great despite our dodgy house wiring giving him a hard time.

I’m looking for a plumber to repair my kitchen sink waste pipe. The existing P-trap/U-bend has come apart and I haven’t been able to refit it correctly.

Job required: * Assess the current waste pipe setup. * Supply any correct fittings/washers if needed. * Replace and fit a new P-trap/U-bend. * Ensure all joints are watertight and test for leaks before leaving. The sink is currently unusable as the waste pipe has come apart (see photos).

Looking to have this fixed as soon as possible.

New garden shed base and shed installation

£500

Tooting Bec, Greater London, SW17

16th Aug 2026

Before the task, I need whoever is interested to survey the area and discuss the task once to ensure we're all clear on the task needed to be done. I have an old 6x4 garden shed base surrounded by artificial turf. I need the base removed and I need to replace it with a 10x4 garden shed base. I want the ground levelled and a weed membrane put down before putting in the 10x4 base. I then want a Power shed of 10x4 installed. I'm getting a wooden base with stakes with the shed. The distance between the fence and the garden boundary is 4*, so it may require some moving the wooden boundary a ft or so in to make space for putting in the shed. I've removed the base in the picture now.

Clean, efficient work - great communication , will recommend

Radiator maintenance and flushing of 6 radiators. comm system drained

£300

West Acton, Greater London

11th Sep 2026

I’m looking for an experienced plumber/heating engineer to carry out full maintenance and cleaning of all radiators in my flat while the building’s communal heating system is currently drained. The flat’s heating circuit should be capable of being isolated from the communal system – this has been done by previous engineers. I would therefore like the engineer to identify and close the appropriate isolation valves before the communal system is refilled. For all radiators, I would like: • Individual flushing/cleaning to remove sludge, magnetite and debris, removing and flushing radiators where appropriate • General inspection for corrosion or leaks • TRVs and lockshield valves checked for correct operation/seizing • Valves, tails, connections and fittings checked and replaced where necessary • Bleed valves/vents checked • Any other sensible preventative maintenance while the system is drained • The flat/radiator circuit appropriately isolated and left safe before the communal system is refilled • Once appropriate, the radiators refilled, vented and checked for leaks and correct operation This is a communal heating system, so I am not requesting a powerflush or chemical treatment of the whole building system. The important requirement is that the necessary isolation and any work requiring the communal system to be empty must be completed before Monday, when the building system is due to be refilled. Please let me know your experience with communal heating systems/radiator maintenance, the flushing method you would use, and your availability before Monday.

Handyperson for various maintenance tasks

£120

Central Parade, Greater London

2nd Aug 2026

I've built up a backlog of small household jobs and would like them done in one go by someone reliable and tidy. Roughly a full day's work. Just as importantly, I'm hoping this becomes a longer-term arrangement. I'd rather find one person I can call whenever something needs doing than start from scratch each time, so trust matters a lot to me. If this first day goes well, there will be steady work. The list covers four areas: Decorating and repairs: touching up paintwork on the staircase woodwork, including wood filler where needed. Filling, sanding and repainting a stained patch of ceiling. Re-caulking two bathrooms. Mounting and hanging: living room curtains, several mirrors and artwork around the house. Walls are a mix, so the right fixings for plasterboard and masonry will be needed. Smart home and security: fitting smart cameras and bulbs, removing a redundant outdoor Yale alarm box and replacing it with a SimpliSafe bell box and plaque, plus opening an outdoor key safe. Odds and ends: swapping a burr in a coffee grinder, repotting houseplants. You'll need your own tools, including a drill, ladder and basic decorating kit. I'll supply all materials unless you'd rather source anything yourself. Good communication and turning up when you say you will matter as much to me as the quality of the work. Happy to walk through everything at the start and then leave you to it. Splitting it across two shorter visits is fine too. In your offer, please tell me roughly how long you think the list will take, whether there's anything on it you'd rather not take on, and whether ongoing work appeals. Photos of the staircase, ceiling patch and alarm box available on request.

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.

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