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.

£40

The job involves: * Safely removing the existing built in microwave. * The current microwave appears to be hardwired/electrically wired at the back, rather than simply plugged into a standard socket, so the electrical cable/wiring will need to be safely disconnected/cut as necessary. * Removing the old microwave from the cabinet. * Installing our new plain/simple microwave in the same location.(doesn’t require wiring) * Connecting the new microwave safely and securely. * Making sure everything is working correctly once installed.

Render external walls

£250

Queen's Wood, Greater London

1st Nov 2026

We need two external walls rendering please. You can see from the pictures there's some existing rendering (painted white) which we need 'doubling up', so to speak so the render reaches about 100cm high. Reason - we have penetrative damp due to poor brickwork when it rains. Drains and roof already checked. It's low level penetrative and not coming from up high. It's in the bedroom corner where the chairs are stacked and bottom of bathroom boiler cupboard where the blue pallet is in the pictures. I've done some patching myself that has significantly improved matters but it's not enough. Our neighbouring flat has theirs done a few years back and they confirmed it fixed their penetrative damp issues immediately. Approx measurements in cm: -420 - window wall -500 - side gully wall -47 - height of current render (painted white in the pictures) -53 - remaining wall that is needs rendering -Would the existing render need to be removed and start again? We hope not. -Would the cost to do the work include materials? -What materials/quality materials would you need?
