Kept me informed. Explained the job in lay person terms. Very clean, neat and tidy when job completed. Honest too - I paid for 1 days work; above job was completed quicker than expected so he did a few extra jobs that needed doing as well. He would be my first contact for future work. Would highly recommend.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!Delighted with the work Hemal did for me. Replacing two taps, new bathroom extractor fan, new plug socket, repair to internal wall from removal of tv bracket, dishwasher, plumbing & water pressure checks. Responded within minutes of posting the job, gave me good advice, arrived next day, got all the jobs done promptly and to a high standard. Clean, professional, polite, good price. Highly recommend. First time using Rated People, really happy.
Claire
A quick, efficient and friendly set of guys. I had them in to clean and paint my mums fence, and then she asked them to do some jet washing and further painting around the garage. All in all, great value for money. My mum was very happy with the work ethic and outcome. If she’s happy so I was very happy. We’ll definitely be calling them back in at a later date.

How to find a reliable, local handyperson near you
If you’ve ever tackled a home improvement project, you know that sometimes you need a helping hand. That’s where a handyperson comes in – skilled at all manner of work and ready to help you get all of your oIf you’ve ever tackled a home improvement project, you know that sometimes you need a helping hand. That’s where a handyperson comes in – skilled at all manner of work and ready to help you get all of your odd jobs ticked off.
Why hiring a handyperson is important
A handyperson can carry out a range of jobs around the home that you can’t or don’t want to do yourself. They’re also skilled at a wide range of repairs and maintenance work.
If you bought some flat pack furniture and you’ve been frantically typing ‘how to put up furniture’ in an online search engine ever since, then leave the furniture assembly to a handyperson. They also specialise in wall mounting objects like shelves, mirrors, TVs and photos – so you can finally get that photo wall you’ve been dreaming of.
What a handyperson can help you with
Handypeople are worth their weight in gold when it comes to property maintenance! Here are a few of the odd jobs handypeople can help with:
- Flat pack furniture assembly
- Hanging photos, mirrors, TVs, or curtain rails on walls
- Mowing your lawn
- Minor plumbing tasks such as fixing a leaky bathroom sink or unclogging a shower drain
- Installing or repairing bathroom or kitchen tiles
- Basic carpentry work, such as minor furniture repair and building shelves
- Small paint jobs that don’t require a painter/decorator
- Cleaning your driveway
- Fixing a broken fence or gate
For bigger plumbing, carpentry, painting or gardening projects, you’ll need a carpentry specialist, plumber, painter or gardener.
Handypeople tend to charge by the hour, so they can carry out a number of tasks in one visit. Make sure you include all the repair and furniture assembly jobs you want to get done when you post a job, so you can get an accurate quote and help your handyperson plan their time.
Factors to consider when choosing a handyperson near me
A reliable handyperson can make your life easier, saving you time and energy, and all while ensuring your home projects are completed to a high standard. To ensure you’re making the right choice, pick a handyperson who:
- Is highly experienced, with a strong history of quality projects
- Has all the right licenses and insurance needed to protect you
- Has a good range of positive reviews from previous clients
- Is offering the services you need, and is able to carry out the work in the timeframe you need it by
- Is quoting a price and payment option that you are happy with, having compared the quote with other handypeople
Local handypeople are more likely to respond quickly. Find a skilled handyperson near you who can help you get the job done.

Make sure you add plenty of details about what you want your handyperson to help you with when you post a job, so you can get an accurate quote.

1. How many years of experience do you have working as a handyperson?
2. How much will the job cost?
3. How long will the job take?
4. Will you supply the materials for the job, for example nails and screws?

My name is Simon and I’ve been in the Roofing industry for a little over 20 years and have a wide range of knowledge/experiance both in residential and commercial. Be it replace a broken tile or a complete new Roof we are able to offer our services and guarantee our workmanship to the highest standard at a fair rate. We’re fully qualified & insured.
Simon did my dormer repair for a good price, when he said he would do it, which was within the week, and left the site clean and tidy. He also took photos so I could see the work. The work was carried out in an awkward/difficult area hard to access to a high standard. Simon was responsive when contacted and easy to communicate with. I recommend him and I definitely will ask him to carry out any other roofing work should it be necessary.

Neale is lovely to deal with whilst being professional, punctual and skilled. I didn't believe builders like this still existed. He turned up on time, every single time he said he would. He produced a detailed written quote and then didn't increase it throughout the job. He and his side-kick, John, worked non-stop overcoming every issue our wonky victorian terraced could throw at them. I'm so relieved and impressed. He's now my go-to builder.

We were quoted for 3 jobs only one of which has been fully completed with 1 not done and 2 done to a not great standard and with out all of the waste being removed (which was part of the quote). Said they would be starting at 11 but didn’t arrive until gone 1pm which made things difficult for us. No pictures sent on completion despite this being offered by them and no response to our attempts to get in touch to rectify the work that has not been completed. A disappointing experience unfortunately.
