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.

Repair hinged flyscreen - bottom pivot/hinge failure

£75

Benhilton, Greater London

30th Sep 2026

Hi, I have a hinged flyscreen on my window that needs repairing. The bottom hinge/pivot is no longer supporting the weight of the screen, so the screen drops at the bottom. As a result, the top guide roller keeps coming out of the top channel. The screen itself is in good condition, but it appears the bottom pivot/hinge or its mounting needs adjustment or replacement. I’m looking for someone who can inspect and repair it rather than replace the whole flyscreen.

Plasterboard and skim internal door reveals around new back door

£200

Purley, Greater London, CR8

We've had a new uPVC back door fitted and the internal reveals have been left unfinished: exposed brick, old timber and expanding foam on both sides and across the top. Looking for someone to make good all three reveals so they're ready to paint. Scope: • Remove any loose material, trim excess expanding foam • Board the reveals (plasterboard dot-and-dab or bonding coat, whichever suits) with angle beads on the external corners • Skim finish to a smooth, paint-ready surface, neatly meeting the door frame and existing wall • Once dry, run a neat bead of paintable caulk between the plaster and the door frame • Tidy up and take away all waste Please bring all materials and tools. Painting not required. Standard single door, reveals roughly 10cm deep. Location: Purley, CR8. Please include your price and availability, and let me know if you've done similar work.

Install 2 curtain tracks; remove old fittings & cut to fit

£50

Earlsfield, Greater London

28th Sep 2026

I need two curtain tracks installed in two rooms. I have already purchased the curtain tracks from Amazon. Each track is approximately 270 cm long and may need to be cut slightly to fit the wall perfectly. I have a cutting saw available if needed, and I can also provide a ladder. The job includes: - Removing the existing curtain/blind fittings in both rooms - One existing track is attached with adhesive/stickers and needs to be removed carefully - The other room has an existing blind/track that is screwed into the wall and needs to be removed - Assembling the new curtain tracks, including joining the track sections together - Cutting the tracks to the exact required length if necessary - Installing both tracks securely and perfectly level - Making sure the joined sections are completely aligned so the curtain gliders run smoothly across the joins without catching or getting stuck - Tidying the installation and checking that both tracks operate smoothly once fitted It is important to me that the tracks are installed very accurately, especially at the joins, as the curtains need to glide smoothly from one section to the next. All curtain track parts and fittings are supplied.
