In the UK, a handyman can perform minor plumbing work such as fixing leaks, replacing taps, and unblocking drains. However, for more complex plumbing work, hiring a qualified plumber registered with relevant trade bodies and familiar with regulations governing plumbing installations is recommended.
In the UK, a handyman is suitable for minor electrical work such as changing light bulbs, replacing sockets and switches, and installing low-voltage garden lighting. Specialists' tasks, like rewiring or installing new circuits, must be done by qualified electricians. It is because local authorities require certified electricians to issue certificates of installation and testing of equipment.

For the most part, we do not charge hourly but rather by the project. When providing job estimates, we typically provide either a ballpark figure or a range for the total labour cost for the entire project or job. If a project takes longer than expected, the customer will only be paid for the extra time worked, a major perk of our job-based pricing structure. Services such as putting together furniture, fixing electrical issues, and cosmetic repairs to drywall and paint are billed hourly.
