Example handyman job briefs

- Fit a letterbox draught excluder, a door chain and a new house number.
- Assemble a wardrobe and fix it to the wall.
Examples to help you write your own post — not past jobs or promises of availability.
Access and logistics to mention
- For a new build, check whether the developer should fix items under warranty before paying someone.
- Is there a driveway for parking?
- Do you have the fixings, or should they be supplied?

Scope pitfalls to agree up front
- Some snags are the developer's responsibility; check before booking private work.
- Fixing into new-build plasterboard needs the right fixings; ask what will be used.
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.
