Handymen

Find a handyman you can trust

A handyman handles the small jobs that are hard to find a specialist for: flat-pack assembly, mounting TVs and shelves, hanging curtains and blinds, replacing sealant, fixing sticking doors and working through a list of odd jobs in one visit.

Before you hire a handyman

  • Know the limits

    Handymen are great for small jobs, but gas work needs a Gas Safe engineer and most electrical work needs a registered electrician. Ask before booking anything that touches either.

  • Price per job or per hour

    For a list of jobs, agree whether the price is fixed or hourly, and whether materials are included.

  • ID-checked and insured

    Every handyman on Fettld completes a photo ID check and has had their insurance reviewed.

Rough price guidance

Broad typical ranges for straightforward jobs, to help you sense-check quotes. They're guidance only, not Fettld prices or averages; real quotes depend on access, materials, the size of the job and how soon you need it.

How Fettld protects your deposit

When you accept a quote, you pay a deposit to Fettld, not straight to the handyman. Your money is held as a deposit by Fettld until you approve the work. It's released when you confirm the job is done, or automatically 7 days after the trade marks the stage complete if you don't raise a problem. Bigger jobs are split into stages, and if something goes wrong our Resolution Centre steps in.

Questions about handymen

What jobs can a handyman do?

Small repairs and installations such as flat-pack, shelves, curtain poles, sealant, sticking doors and minor fixes. Bigger or regulated work, including gas and most electrical work, needs a specialist.

How do I get the best price for lots of small jobs?

List them all in one job with photos. A handyman can plan a single visit and quote for the whole list rather than charging for several trips.

Can a handyman mount a TV on a plasterboard wall?

Yes, with the right fixings for the TV's weight. Mention the wall type and TV size when you post the job so they bring suitable fixings.
