Tips on getting the best price on Handyman Services:

If you want to pay as little as possible when employing the services of a handyman then there are a few things you can do yourself to help keep the costs down and stick to your budget.

Bundle jobs

Consider which jobs you need doing and put them in order of priority.

To save money, it might be wise to wait until you have a number of minor home repair jobs to take care of before you bring someone in.

Organise

Some jobs may require your electricity or water to be switched off. at the main outlets.

Making sure you know the locations of these utilities with clear access can save me time and you money.

If I am resealing a shower tray it helps me if you make sure the shower cubicle is clear of shampoo bottles etc before I start.

This saves me time and you money.

Tidy Up

Laying new flooring in one of your rooms, it would take me less time if the furniture has been moved out of the laying area and the floor has been cleaned before I arrive.

I don’t mind doing this myself, if you do this before i arrive you could save me time and you money.

Pricing for my handyman services

I offer competitive handyman prices, the service duration may vary depending on the scope and complexity of works.  All prices are labour only.

First Hour

I charge *£45.00 for the first hour (minimum charge is one hour). 

Additional hours

After the first hour I charge £30.00 per additional hour I spend on a job.

Larger jobs can be arranged on a fixed price basis which included my time sourcing and supplying materials for your home improvements. Material cost to be paid prior to starting work on your property.

Full day rates. I usually work from 08:00am to 16:00pm (which includes a 30 -40 min break) Monday - Friday.  These starting and finishing times can be adjusted to suit customer needs. To be confirmed when booking.

*Half day rates are for a 4 hour period.

There is no VAT in addition to the rates shown above.

Materials or other additional expenses are not included unless a fixed rate labour and materials has been agreed.

NOTE : I'm not registered to do any major gas or electrical installations. I work closely with a couple of great tradesmen in these fields who are qualified to install and sign off electrical and plumbing works according to current regulatory standards. 

Pre arranged *half a day rate is £110.00 and for a full day I charge £180.00.

**This excludes any shopping time charges and materials.

Half and full day rates

Fixed priced jobs

If there are specific materials that need to be purchased for a job, the preference is for the customer to supply them.

**In cases where you cannot provide all materials needed for the job, I can go to a local hardware store / builders yards and supply the needed materials at my standard "shopping time" rate of £40.00 per hour. This will be charged as an additional charge on the top of our agreed price. Please note materials cost and any parking charges incurred will be in addition to my shopping rate.

Any jobs undertaken in town or city centres will have additional charges due to travel and accessibility challenges.
