Example handyman job briefs

- Rehang a front gate that drags on the path and replace a broken latch.
- Fit blackout blinds to three windows (blinds already bought, measurements attached).
Examples to help you write your own post — not past jobs or promises of availability.
Access and logistics to mention
- Can parts and tools be brought close to the door, or is parking on a shared court some distance away?
- Are the walls plasterboard or masonry? It changes which fixings are needed.
- Is there a window of time when someone will be at home?

Scope pitfalls to agree up front
- Small tasks added on the day can push past a fixed price; send the full list up front.
- Heavy items such as TVs or tall units need suitable fixings — say the weight if you know it.
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.
