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.

Matrix gym cardio machine fix

£80

Southwark, Greater London

15th Jul 2026

**PLEASE ONLY APPLY IF YOU CAN HELP AND HAVE READ ALL OF THIS THANKS :)** I have a faulty cardio gym machine, I've already diagnosed it as much as possible using the manual and have diagnosed where the problem may be. I'm only looking for someone experienced who is confident on how to fix this, how to source the parts, or if you have the parts, have links, or you can repair it somehow. These parts and fixing this machine may be harder because it's an old machine so I'm not looking for a generalist unless you have specific experience with these old Matrix machines. The budget is just a random number. I'm happy to pay for your time for advice (or if you can fix it for that job) + leave you a review. Let's only chat if you are clear on this. See details below. Machine: Matrix Commercial E5x-04 Suspension Elliptical, 2013. Console model: HURE-5X-04-C The problem: The console screen is completely dead. No display, no backlight, nothing, whether on mains power or while I'm using it. What I've already checked (Matrix E5x-04 service manual): Mains socket confirmed working. The lower control board is healthy on mains power. All its status lights are normal, including the one showing it's sending power up to the console (LED9 lit) & the one showing it's communicating (LED8 blinking). Reseated the console cable at both ends. No change. Opened the console head and checked the console's own power-indicator light (LED2 on the internal board, as the manual describes). On mains power it stays dark, which means power isn't reaching the console. What this seems: Power is leaving the lower board but not arriving at the console. Both the screen and the console's power light are dead, which suggests the fault is before the console's main boards, most likely the console cable (the power & data cable running from the lower board up to the console) or the small board that cable plugs into.

Fridge Door Fix and Spotlight Repair

£100

Wapping, Greater London, E1W

25th Mar 2026

I’m looking for an experienced handyman/electrician for two small but specific jobs. I’d prefer someone who is confident with both cabinetry adjustments and minor electrical work. Job 1 – Integrated Fridge Door Fix I have an integrated fridge built into a cupboard unit. The cupboard door that’s mounted onto the fridge has come off and needs to be properly reattached and aligned. The hinges and fixings may need checking or replacing to ensure it’s secure and sits flush again. I can provide photos in advance. Job 2 – Built-in Spotlights (Electrical) I have recessed ceiling spotlights (wired-in units, not simple twist-and-remove bulbs): Kitchen: One unit has failed completely and needs full replacement (not just a bulb swap). Bedroom: One spotlight is flickering and likely needs diagnosis (possible driver/connection issue or replacement). Additional notes: Please bring appropriate tools and any common replacement parts (or advise in advance if specific parts are needed). Looking for someone who can properly diagnose rather than trial-and-error fixes. Please only respond if you have experience with integrated appliances and fixed lighting systems. Let me know your availability and estimated cost.
