Handyman Services

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.

I need someone to install roughly 15 metres of chicken wire across a garden fence. The wire would need to be about 90cm in height. You’d need to kindly supply materials and any tools necessary.

Install 2 lights, you MUST have experience with conduit

£80

Hackney, Greater London, E8

25th May 2025

I need 2 lights replaced in the hall. BE WARE: 2 people have tried but had to cancel, as they couldn't complete the job when here, so please do NOT accept job before reading and understanding pics - As you can see in the pics. The same lights in other parts of the flat have been placed onto some sort of brushed metal box. (Silver box shown in pics). Can you tell me what it is and source it, (I'm happy to order and pick up) as these 2 new ones need to look the same. The hole in the top of the light is not big enough for the cables to be fed through it. The light needs to be mounted onto the same sort of silver metal box to match the others and wired through that, You need to know how to attach the silver box to the wall and this specific light to the metal box. So check dimensions and hole placements. I've shown specific light from screwfix below. As stated ,2 handy men have failed and had to cancel the job, so please don't accept unless you 1. know where I can get the 2 silver boxes, 2. can work out how to mount this light to that box, 3. work out how to have space for the wires inside. The black box in the pics, on the wall has no front plate and needs to be removed, as it's part of the old light If the job can't be completed we will have to cancel. Only accept if you are confident you can work with conduit and drill into the BREEZEBLOCK wall to mount. Might be good to do a Facetime call before to check details, to avoid wasting each others' time. Thanks!
