Handyman rates and flat job prices
Most handyman jobs are too small to survey, so we publish two things: an honest hourly rate with a one-hour minimum, and flat prices for the jobs we do every week.
Handyman price list
Small jobs are charged hourly with a one-hour minimum; the most common jobs have a flat price so there is nothing to work out.

What moves the price
One visit, one list
The half day at £125 is the best value on this page. Four separate one-hour visits cost £140 and four lots of travel.
Wall type
Plasterboard, brick and concrete need different fixings and drilling time. Tell us the wall and the quote holds.
Parts and materials
Fixings and consumables are included. Anything you want us to buy is supplied at cost with the receipt.
Trade-certified work
Notifiable electrical and gas work is outside handyman scope and referred to a certified trade rather than quoted here.
What real jobs cost
Worked examples so you can place your own job before you speak to anyone.

How to pay less
- Save the little jobs and book them as one half day rather than paying a minimum charge each time.
- Send photos of the wall and the item — most re-visits happen because the fixing was wrong.
- Buy your own parts where you have a preference; we only ever charge you our cost.
What sits outside the price
- Parking permits, congestion charge and ULEZ where genuinely incurred — always itemised, never marked up
- Congested or restricted access beyond a third-floor walk-up, agreed before booking
- Specialist waste (asbestos, clinical, hazardous chemicals) which we sub-contract to a licensed handler
- Out-of-hours work between 8pm and 7am, charged at 1.25× the standard rate

Handyman pricing FAQs
Handyman prices, answered.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. You pay the hourly rate or the flat job price, and nothing for turning up.
What is the minimum booking?
One hour at £35, then billed in 30-minute blocks.
Can one handyman do several unrelated jobs?
Yes, and that is the cheapest way to use us. Send the list and we tell you whether it fits a half or full day.
