Guides and cost advice
All guidesFrequently asked questions
How much does a handyman cost per hour?+
Handyman rates commonly run $50 to $100 per hour, often with a minimum call-out of one to two hours. Bundling several small jobs into one visit is the best way to get value, since you are paying for the trip either way. Ask about the minimum charge upfront.
What jobs can a handyman legally do?+
A handyman can do most general repairs, assembly, mounting, patching and minor maintenance, but licensed electrical, plumbing and gas work must go to a licensed tradesperson. If a job touches wiring, water lines or gas, ask the handyman to refer it on rather than risk unlicensed work.
Is there a minimum charge for a handyman?+
Most handymen have a minimum call-out of one to two hours to cover travel and setup, so a five minute job still costs the minimum. This is why it pays to save up a list of small jobs and get them all done in one visit.
Can a handyman mount a heavy TV on plasterboard?+
Yes, but it must be fixed into the studs or with proper cavity anchors rated for the weight, not just screwed into the plasterboard. A good handyman locates the studs and uses the right mount and fixings. Cheap fixings are the main reason wall-mounted TVs fall.
Do handymen provide their own tools and materials?+
Handymen bring their own tools, and they can either supply small materials and add them to the bill or fit materials you have bought. For anything specific like a particular tap or handle, buy it first or confirm they will source it. Ask how materials are charged.
Are handymen insured?+
Reputable handymen carry public liability insurance, which covers accidental damage to your property while they work. Always ask to confirm, especially for work at height or anything that could affect the building. Unlicensed, uninsured operators are a false economy if something goes wrong.
