Before you hire: three quick checks

- Ask whether they have public liability insurance.
- Check that any gas or major electrical work goes to a Gas Safe engineer or a registered electrician instead.
What a handyman can do

What a handyman should not do
Any work on gas, including moving a gas pipe or fitting a hob, must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Larger electrical work, such as new circuits or a consumer unit, should be done by a registered electrician so you get the right certificates. See our lists of plumbers in Leeds and electricians in Leeds.
Getting the most from a handyman
Most handymen charge by the hour, half day or day. Write a list of every small job, with photos, and send it before the visit. Buy any materials you have chosen yourself, or agree that the handyman will supply them at cost. Grouping jobs into one visit is usually much cheaper than several call outs.
Handyman or specialist?
For a bigger single job, such as a new door lock, a full room of plastering or a fence, a specialist may do it faster and better. See locksmiths in Leeds for locks, or our full list of Leeds trades.
