How is handyman work charged?

By time — usually a minimum call-out of one to two hours, then hourly or in half-day blocks. Batching several small jobs into one visit is almost always cheaper than booking them separately.

Can you mount a TV on any wall?

Not on any wall, safely. Solid brick and block take heavy loads easily. Stud walls need the bracket fixed into the timber studs. Dot-and-dab plasterboard needs specialist fixings or a spread-load plate, because the board sits on adhesive dabs with a void behind it.

Do you supply materials and fixings?

We carry standard fixings, brackets and consumables. Specific parts — a particular tap, blind, or bracket model — are best supplied by you, or we can source them and add the cost to the invoice.

What can a handyman not legally do?

Notifiable electrical work under Part P (new circuits, consumer units, most bathroom and kitchen electrics) and any gas work need a registered electrician or Gas Safe engineer. We'll tell you upfront when a job crosses that line.

Handyman & home repair guides

Handyman work is mostly a question of knowing what's behind the surface. A TV bracket into solid brick is a twenty-minute job; the same bracket into dot-and-dab plasterboard without hitting a stud is how televisions end up on the floor.

These guides cover flat-pack assembly at scale, mounting into each common UK wall type, the small repairs worth batching into one visit, and the jobs where you legally need a qualified electrician or gas engineer instead.
