The fairer way to book a handyman
Most booking platforms take a big cut of every job, and that cost ends up in your price. We do it differently: handymen pay us a flat £5 when a job is completed, and nothing else. The price you pay goes to the person doing the work.
- Public liability insurance checked before a handyman can take paid jobs
- Real reviews from real bookings only
- Your card is held, not charged, until you approve the work
For handymen
flat fee per completed job. You keep the rest.
No commission. No subscription. No paying for leads – quoting on posted jobs is free. Card processing is passed through at cost.
Questions people ask
How do I know the price is fair?
Every fixed price is built from a typical time for the job, a fair local hourly rate and any standard materials, and checked against published UK price guides (Checkatrade, MyBuilder, TaskRabbit, Bark and others). Handymen keep everything except a flat £5 booking fee, so there's no hidden commission pushing prices up.
What if my job isn't on the list?
Post it instead. Answer a few quick questions, add photos if you like, and local handymen send you free quotes. Compare them, accept the one you like, then book and pay online in the same way.
When do I pay?
We check your card when you book, but you're only charged after the work is finished and you've approved it in your account.
Do I need to buy the materials?
Basic fixings (wall plugs, screws), sealant and filler are included where the job says so. Items such as the TV bracket, shelves, curtain pole, tap or toilet seat are supplied by you, so you get exactly what you want.
What if something goes wrong afterwards?
Work booked through MyLocalHandyMan comes with a 90-day workmanship guarantee. If something your handyman fitted or fixed fails because of how it was done, tell us and we'll get it put right. Items you supplied yourself are covered by their own manufacturer's warranty – see the guarantee page.
