Examples to help you write your own post — not past jobs or promises of availability.
Access and logistics to mention
- Is there anywhere close by to park legally for a short visit? The council's parking pages cover permits.
- Do you have the replacement parts, or should the handyman buy them?
- Is the water stop tap easy to find and turn off?

Scope pitfalls to agree up front
- A dripping tap may need a new cartridge or a whole new tap — ask what's included in the price.
- Agree whether the price is for the whole list or by the hour.
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.
