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.

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.

Install 2x shower screen
£250
Ealing, Greater London
4th May 2026
I will need a screen above the bath, and a frameless shower screen installed, I also need 2 toilet roll holders installed onto tiled walls. One screen is a straightforward/simple screen installation. The second screen/door is more complex and includes a bespoke glass shower door/screen setup with: 8mm toughened glass, 667mm wide x 2100mm high (measurements in pictures) 3 wall-to-glass 90° shower hinges 1 double pull glass door knob (predrilled) Glass-to-wall seal Glass-to-floor seal Pre-cut hinge cut-outs 12mm drilled hole for handle These parts and materials will be supplied by me. The quote should reflect that this is not just two basic screens. One installation is simple, but the second requires accurate fitting of hinges, seals, and handle hardware on a bespoke glass panel. Please only quote if you have experience fitting frameless or semi-frameless glass shower screens/doors.

Garden fence repair and furniture maintenance
£150
Shepherd's Bush, Greater London
1st Mar 2026
Following up on my previous message, I’d like to provide more details about the jobs: 1. Garden Wall & Fence (Security Focus) The garden wall faces the street, so I’d like to increase the height slightly for better security. I’m not particular about the materials used—whatever works best. Some parts of the topper have come off. Where there are existing plants/wood, I’m happy for you to tie them together or reinforce them to act as a barrier. I specifically need the area above the left-hand door and the sections where the topper is completely missing to be strengthened in some way. I want to minimise the cost if its possible. 2. Wardrobe/Chest of Drawers Regarding the warped unit, if you feel it’s not worth repairing, I have another wardrobe in a different room I can use instead. In that case, could you help me move the other wardrobe to the room and break down the old one into smaller pieces so I can dispose of it easily? Could you let me know if this is something you can help with? I'm happy to follow your professional advice on the best approach. Best regards,

Home Maintenance: Minor Paint Touch-ups & Kitchen Drawer Repair
£80
Feltham, Greater London
19th Feb 2026
Hi there, I’m looking for a handyman or painter for a quick maintenance session. The house was fully professionally painted in December 2025, so the walls are in excellent condition—I just need some minor "snagging" done from moving furniture and daily use. 1. Paint Touch-ups (Across the House): Touching up minor scuff marks and small chips on walls and door frames in various rooms. This is a simple job as the paint is only 2 months old. Materials: I have the original leftover paint tins ready to use, so no color matching is required. As it's for multiple areas, a top-up tin may be required You will just need to provide your own brushes, small rollers, and drop sheets. 2. Kitchen Drawer Repair: One kitchen drawer is sagging/sticking and likely needs the side runners/slides replaced. Please inspect and advise if I need to buy specific parts, or if you can supply standard runners (I will reimburse the cost with a receipt). Requirements: Please bring your own tools (screwdrivers, drills, painting supplies). Experience with basic cabinetry hardware is essential. Must be careful with flooring/furniture (use drop sheets)
