Handyman and odd jobs
Every home has a list of small jobs: a curtain pole to put up, a sticking door, a TV to mount, a dripping tap. A handyman can usually clear several in one visit.
List everything in one task, add photos, and local taskers bid. For gas or fixed electrical work, use a registered professional.
Typical jobs
- Wall-mounting a TV
- Putting up shelves, mirrors and pictures
- Fitting curtain poles and blinds
- Fixing a sticking door or loose handle
- Replacing a toilet seat
- Silicone resealing around a bath
- Fitting a new letterbox or door lock
- Assembling and fixing small items
Tips
- Put all your small jobs in one post with photos.
- Say whether walls are brick, plaster or plasterboard if you know.
- Note whether you already have the fixings and parts.
Agree who buys parts, whether the tasker brings a drill and ladder, and how long the visit is likely to take. Do not post gas work or new electrical circuits as handyman jobs.
