Handyman Services

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.

Fridge Door Fix and Spotlight Repair

£100

Wapping, Greater London, E1W

25th Mar 2026

I’m looking for an experienced handyman/electrician for two small but specific jobs. I’d prefer someone who is confident with both cabinetry adjustments and minor electrical work. Job 1 – Integrated Fridge Door Fix I have an integrated fridge built into a cupboard unit. The cupboard door that’s mounted onto the fridge has come off and needs to be properly reattached and aligned. The hinges and fixings may need checking or replacing to ensure it’s secure and sits flush again. I can provide photos in advance. Job 2 – Built-in Spotlights (Electrical) I have recessed ceiling spotlights (wired-in units, not simple twist-and-remove bulbs): Kitchen: One unit has failed completely and needs full replacement (not just a bulb swap). Bedroom: One spotlight is flickering and likely needs diagnosis (possible driver/connection issue or replacement). Additional notes: Please bring appropriate tools and any common replacement parts (or advise in advance if specific parts are needed). Looking for someone who can properly diagnose rather than trial-and-error fixes. Please only respond if you have experience with integrated appliances and fixed lighting systems. Let me know your availability and estimated cost.

Drainage specialist to clear kitchen sink that constantly gets clogged

£150

Wapping, Greater London, E1W

17th May 2025

Our kitchen sink is constantly getting clogged and then water fills the basin and is very slow to clear. Every time we clear it, it gets clogged up again, especially after we use the washing machine. We've had a number of plumbers come and work on it, and we've tried many things ourselves, but we haven't found a permanent fix yet. We've done suctioning/vacuuming, using air pressure/pumping with plungers to clear the pipes, using a snake from ScrewFix, and trying draino made from caustic soda. And lots and lots of vinegar (and sometimes with baking soda). We have a strainer that catches food from going down the sink, so I don't think it's food related. We are also careful not to put oil down the sink. We believe it's somehow related to the washing machine, but unsure how. The problem started not long after we had a new washing machine installed. Anyways, we're looking for an expert drainage specialist with the necessary equipment to see where the the blockage is occurring, help us understand what is causing it, and permanently clearing it and stopping it from occurring again.

Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. Carlton did a fantastic job clearing out our kitchen sink drainage problem that had been plaguing us for weeks. Water is now flowing through the pipes unlike it ever has before for as long as we've lived here. Highly recommended.
