Scope pitfalls to agree up front
- Sash window repairs can be specialist; ask whether the handyman has done them before.
- Narrow halls may need slimline fixings — include measurements.
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.
