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.

We need an experienced professional to inspect our bathroom (part of an extension) and install a brand-new window and extractor fan from scratch, as there is currently zero ventilation. Here are the key details: Walls: The extension is not brick. We need someone who knows how to work with non-brick extension walls to safely create new openings. Location options: One external wall faces the garden (white wall near the plant pot), and another wall leads toward our side porch (near the mirror). We also have a blocked-off section at the top of the roof that might be an option. Materials: We do not have the window or extractor fan yet. We need you to come inspect the space, tell us what appropriate materials/sizes to get (or source them as part of the job), and handle the full supply-and-fit. Please provide your estimated labour costs and let us know your availability to come out for an inspection!

Fixing a bath plug

£60

Hackbridge, Greater London

14th Aug 2026

The bath plug pop up system is broken and needs to be replaced. The bath panel can be unscrewed as it is a cheap, plastic one. I have bought a new pop up system. I’m selling my flat so I need someone who knows what they’re doing here. Don’t want anything broken. If you could share with me proof that you’re a plumber or you work in construction or anything like that, this would definitely be a bonus.

Very good experience. He arrived on time, was well equipped, friendly and very accommodating. When he realised the bathtub cover couldn’t be opened, he tried replacing the plug instead, which worked. He also went to a nearby shop to buy new mastic to replace what had been removed and was happy to help with a few additional joints I asked about. Helpful, flexible and pleasant throughout.
