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.

Window blinds stuck and need to be fixed

£70

Mayfair, Greater London, W1J

13th Aug 2026

I have motorised blinds from the brand Blocout (https://blocout.com/) There are 4 blinds in total. 2 of them have gotten stuck and are no longer responding to the remote. For 1 of the stuck blinds, it is stuck while rolled up and I need that one to be completely fixed or at least rolled down. The 2nd blind seems to have a power issue that has to be checked I don’t have any tools or a ladder. The blinds can be accessed by climbing a chair but may not be comfortable to work like that.

He did a great job and fixed the issue with the motorised blinds. He had asked me about the make and brand of the blinds beforehand, did research on them and came prepared for the task. He had a very polite and professional attitude. He also got his own tools and ladder. Overall efficient and hardworking and got the job done. Would definitely recommend him.

Install one Venetian blind - outside/face fix

£30

Bayswater, Greater London, W2

12th Aug 2026

Hello would love for someone to help put up our new blinds as I have no idea. The blind is slightly wider than the window recess, so it will need to be face-fixed to the wall above the window rather than fitted inside the recess. The blind comes with universal brackets suitable for face fixing and the manufacturer’s fittings. The job will involve: * Removing two old blind brackets from inside the window recess * Measuring and centring the new blind above the window * Drilling and securely fixing the new brackets to the wall * Installing and levelling the blind * Fitting the supplied child-safety cord fitting Please bring your own drill / other relevant tools. Hope this makes sense because it doesn’t to me! Much appreciated!

Bob did a great job at putting up our blinds, super friendly and efficient. Would recommend!

Assemble and Install Two Glass Shower Screens

£100

Camberwell, Greater London, SE5

24th Jul 2026

I have two brand new glass shower screens that need to be assembled and installed in my bathroom. You can find instructions for the shower screens online by typing in the name and going to their product listing's: 1. Triton Fast Fix Frameless Chrome Bathscreen 800mm x 1500mm 2. Roman Haven6 1500mm x 910mm Curved Inward Folding Bath Screen You will likely have to drill into tiles on the wall to secure the new shower screens. Please bring necessary drilling equipment to safely drill into tile!!!!! I will try prep the area as much as possible, but you may be required to remove some old sealant from the old shower screens which will be removed prior to your arrival. I have not checked whether the new shower screens come with screws etc, so please bring anything you may need, including sealant etc. Please use clear sealant, not white!!!

I was apprehensive about Faysil due to him having no reviews, however this was unwarranted as Faysil delivered an excellent standard of work on my bathroom. Faysil demonstrated clear experience of a tradesman, knowing details of my new shower screens which I did not even know, and suggesting additional installation tips which the instructions did not include. He kept me informed throughout the process and is a honest hardworker. 10/10 service

Unblock my kitchen sink

£40

Whitechapel, Greater London, E1

4th Jul 2026

I’m looking for a plumber to attend and investigate a drainage issue in my kitchen. The problem started while the water from the washing machine start to back up into the kitchen sink, and the sink is now draining very slowly / has become blocked. The washing machine and kitchen sink share a common waste pipe, so there may be a blockage further down the drainage line. I would like someone to come out, identify the cause of the blockage, and carry out any necessary unblocking works.

Super helpful, Michael exactly knew what to look for without us having to tell him. He is very professional and punctual. Highly recommended by me.
