- Replace a broken shed door hinge and add a hasp and padlock.
- Mount a TV bracket on a brick chimney breast (cables to be hidden in trunking).
Examples to help you write your own post — not past jobs or promises of availability.
Access and logistics to mention
- Is the TV bracket and trunking already bought?
- Is there a power socket near where the TV will go?
- For garden jobs, is the shed reachable without going through the house?

Scope pitfalls to agree up front
- Hiding cables inside walls is a different job from trunking; say which you want.
- A wobbly banister may need more than tightening; ask for advice on a safe fix.
Comparing quotes
- Is it priced by the hour, half-day or as a fixed price for the list?
- Is there a minimum charge or call-out fee, and does travel count?
- Are fixings and parts included or charged on top?
- Gas, and electrical work beyond simple like-for-like swaps, need suitably qualified trades. Ask, rather than assume, a handyman can do them.
What to include in your job post
- A numbered list of each small task, so it can be priced as one visit.
- A photo of each item and where it goes (wall type if known: plasterboard, brick).
- Whether you've bought the parts or fixings, or want the handyman to supply them.
- Any time window when someone will be home.
