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.

Install sliding shower door

£70

15th Jul 2026

I need to replace a sliding shower door. The manufacturer is sending a new one. It’s a bi-folding sliding door and the rollers that help the door slide have come off.

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.

Replace a toilet seat with a Croydex Constance Flexi Fit seat

£40

Castelnau, Greater London

13th Jul 2026

I have an existing toilet seat that needs removing. I have bought the Croydex Constance Flexi-Fit toilet seat that needs to go onto the toilet bowl. Please note that there is NO access to the toilet from below. There are NO screws underneath. This is a top-fix toilet seat with adhesive pads. Please have experience of this particular toilet seat - I would be grateful if you could confirm your experience with this specific make of toilet seat in any message. I happen to be free tomorrow (Tuesday 14th - any time apart from between 1pm and 2pm). But I can also do other dates next week if you have specific experience with this Croydex Constance toilet seat. Thanks!

Sarhad replaced our old toilet seat. It turned out our old toilet seat was really, really wedged in - the screws were really embedded. Sarhad patiently worked on it for much longer than he and I expected and did a great job. I would definitely use him again.

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.
