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.

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
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.
Other handyperson FAQ's
How much will a handyperson cost to hire?
The cost of hiring a handyperson in the UK typically ranges from £10 to £45 an hour, with the average rate sitting around £30. However, final prices will vary depending on your specific location, as labour costs naturally rise in London and the South East. To ensure you receive an accurate quote, make sure to add plenty of detail about your specific tasks when posting your job.
What questions should I ask before hiring a handyperson?
Before making a hire, you should always ask how many years of experience they have and check if they hold active public liability insurance. It is also essential to clarify how much the job will cost, how long it will take, and whether they will supply the necessary materials like nails and screws. Gathering these details upfront helps prevent unexpected costs and ensures your project runs smoothly.
What is the difference between what a handyperson can do and when I need a specialist?
A handyperson is ideal for everyday, non-notifiable tasks such as assembling flat-pack furniture, hanging mirrors, mounting TVs, or replacing a light fixture like-for-like. However, for major structural alterations, or any gas and complex electrical installations, you must hire a legally certified specialist tradesperson to comply with UK Building Regulations. Clarifying your job requirements beforehand ensures the work is completed safely and remains completely legal.
At Wirral Roofing & Repoint, we’re not a big company with flashy vans or TV adverts — we’re a small, hardworking local business that’s built on grit, honesty, and the pride we take in our craft. Like many small tradesmen, we’ve faced more than our fair share of setbacks: unfair, undercutting by cowboys, and the tough reality of trying to grow a business while staying true to quality over quick profit. We don’t have a huge budget for marketing — what we do have is skill, experience, and the kind of workmanship that speaks for itself. All we ask for is the chance to prove it. Every roof we repair and every wall we repoint is done with care as if it were our own home. We believe in earning trust the old-fashioned way: through hard work and a job well done. If you’re tired of being let down and want someone who actually cares, give us a call. Let us show you what proper workmanship looks like — we just want a fair shot to earn your respect and your recommendation
