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.Â
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.

One of two wall-mounted coat hook bars in our entryway fell out of the wall recently. The hooks were installed about 3 years ago and have always been slightly loose. The wall separates our flat from the building corridor and appears to be masonry or cinder block, which made it very difficult to drill into effectively when we originally installed them. The job would involve: • Repairing the existing holes in the wall (I don’t currently have filler/materials) • Touching up the paint afterward (I do have the correct paint) • Remounting the coat hook bar in roughly the same position once the wall is repaired • Drilling properly into the wall using the correct tools for masonry Please bring a hammer drill with masonry bits and appropriate wall anchors/screws to mount the hooks securely. The coat hook bar itself is still in good condition and ready to be reinstalled. The work area is just inside the flat’s entryway near the front door. Should be a straightforward job for someone with the right tools.

Repair and repaint water‑damaged kitchen ceiling + check electrics
£300
Balham, Greater London
28th Jan 2026
Task description: I need a professional to repair and repaint a previously water‑damaged ceiling in my kitchen in a 2nd floor flat in Balham, London. The leak has been fixed for some time and the ceiling is now dry, but there are large brown/yellow stains and some uneven paint. Ceiling size: approx. 2.94 m x 1.71 m (about 5 m² / 9'8" x 5'7"). Scope of work (ceiling): Inspect the ceiling for any blown or loose plaster/board and make good as required (small repairs only – if you think it needs full re‑boarding, please flag and quote separately). Scrape/prepare any loose or flaking paint. Treat all water‑stained areas with a suitable stain‑blocking primer (e.g. Zinsser Cover Stain or similar) to stop stains bleeding through. Fill and sand as needed for a smooth finish. Apply 2 coats of white emulsion to the entire ceiling so the finish is even. Electrics to check: There is a ceiling track‑light fitting and a smoke/heat detector fixed to this ceiling. I would like a qualified electrician (can be you or someone you work with) to: Visually inspect the wiring/connection of the ceiling light fitting and any junction boxes above if accessible. Confirm there is no obvious damage or risk from the previous leak. Make any minor safe‑to‑use corrections if needed, or advise if more extensive electrical work is required (to be quoted separately). You should provide: All materials for making good, stain block, filler and ceiling paint (please specify brand and type in your offer). Dust sheets and full clean‑up after the job. Proof of public liability insurance. For the electrical part, proof of relevant electrical qualification/competence. Please include in your offer: Your estimated total price (labour + materials). How many visits you expect (e.g. due to drying times). When you can do the work (ideally within the next few weeks).
