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.

Helping installing acoustic panels and a monitor mount

£150

Murrayfield, City of Edinburgh

14th Mar 2026

Would need to fit these acoustic panels to the inside of this alcove, including on the sides and ceiling. Screwing the panels to the wood is preferred due to it being a rental, so avoid glue. The fixtures would have to have openings cut (light switches, the lightbulb s above and the plugs behind the monitor) if you know how to remove the globe part of the lights above and the switch cover to have the panel be flush to the wall and not have to cut a hole for them that would be preferred (the lights aren’t functional anyway apparently)and finally, the last step is to mount this monitor mount to the wall in a way that it will firmly be secure there. I’m unsure what is behind that wall but it possibly has electicals and the mount will most definitely need a good support to hold up

Handyman needed: assembly, wall mounting & lampshades

£450

The Grange, City of Edinburgh

18th Feb 2026

Hi, I’m looking for an experienced and careful handyman to help with multiple jobs in my city centre Edinburgh flat. Tasks include: • Moving 2 pieces of heavy furniture into loft storage • Assemble wardrobe • Assemble chest of drawers • Assemble TV stand • Assemble cocktail chair • Hang 4 large picture frames • Hang 1 large wall mirror • Hang 1 wall clock • Install 4 wall hooks • Install 3 ceiling lampshades (ceilings are very high – tall ladder required) Important: Some items are heavy and large, and ceilings are very high, so please attend with appropriate equipment and be able to manage this safely. You may wish to bring a second person if needed. • Please bring your own tools • Please bring a tall ladder suitable for very high ceilings • Experience hanging mirrors and frames securely, and assembling furniture correctly, is essential. Parking available nearby. Must be completed on Wednesday 25th February, as this is my only available full day. I’m happy to increase the budget slightly for the right experienced and well-equipped person. I’d also really appreciate someone with a good eye for detail and placement — particularly for mirrors, artwork, hooks and the clock. My ceilings are very high, so I’m looking for someone confident in judging the correct heights so everything looks balanced, proportionate and well-positioned, rather than just installed at standard height. I’d really value your input on placement where appropriate. Looking for someone professional, reliable, and who takes pride in their work. Happy to confirm and book promptly for the right person. Please ensure you can safely manage lifting heavy items into the loft. If a second person is required for this and the furniture assembling, please include this within your offer. Budget reflects full-day work and need for proper equipment and care.

Cameron and Ernest did an excellent job installing everything in my apartment. They communicated clearly, worked methodically through a long list, and always asked my opinion before making decisions. The attention to detail was fantastic and my home looks completely transformed. They were professional, friendly, and I felt comfortable throughout. I’d highly recommend Cameron and will definitely use him again.
