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 installation

£1,250

Stockwell, Greater London

10th Jun 2025

I would like to replace a small sash window in a first-floor flat. The window measures approximately 65 cm x 43 cm (excluding the frame and sill) and is directly opposite the door to a bathroom that has no window of its own, so it is key for ventilation. The current window is single-glazed and not draught-proofed, so it lets a significant amount of cold air in even when closed. The window cannot be accessed from the outside except by putting a ladder in the garden of the ground-floor flat. I would like a uPVC top-hung awning window with clear glass to replace this, installed by an installer who is registered with FENSA or Certass and is able to provide a FENSA or Certass certificate for the installation.

Bathroom Door & Dining Room Chair Fix

£150

Brixton, Greater London, SW9

13th May 2025

There are three tasks here however you are still welcome to message if you can only do one or two. The amount here is just for labour, happy to refund any items purchased at cost price (please provide receipts). Only have very basic tools: screwdrivers, saw etc and so please bring your own. I presume a multi-tool is most suitable for the below. (Task 1) Due to wall tiles now being on the wall to the right the door does not close, it may also need trimming elsewhere (see photos). Also even with that issue resolved the door does not close even though the original screw holes for the hinge are used, so re-alignment is also required. Please note this door of course has a wooden frame but its not solid wood throughout and so care needs to be taken when shaving it down / a new wooden strip may need adding. (Task 2) Standard dinning room leg is wobbly / has had a dodgy repair from the previous owner. Wood is split so new leg needed or wood repaired... properly this time! (Task 3) Two doors of the same design need a separate key operated lock added below the door handle and a hole created in the frame for the deadbolt to go in and out. My flat is in the Stockwell part of London (SW9 0BN) and I can be flexible when you visit for a quote or if terms are agreed, when the work is carried out.
