What services can Handymen help with?

Some of the common services your handyman can help with include:

  • Building and construction
  • Painting and decorating
  • Moving heavy items like upholstery and furniture
  • Changing light bulbs and light fixtures
  • Clearing and maintaining rooms or gardens
  • Repairing and maintaining tools and equipment
  • Installing windows and doors
  • How do I choose the best Handyman?

    There are several factors worth considering when choosing your handyman. These include:

    • Reputation - Depending on the scale of maintenance or size of repair, compile a list of up to three or four reputable tradesman companies online to compare what each has to offer. Rather than looking at websites, focus on customer feedback and reviews which you can see on their Bark profile page.

    • Membership - Check to see if the company is a member of any association such The Handyman Association and The UK Guild of Handymen.

    • Quotations - Make sure to ask for multiple written quotations as opposed to hiring the first handyman that you get in touch with. Check to see if the company has public liability insurance.

    • Photos - Find handymen that can prove their work with success stories, projects, and real photos. Have a look at their previous projects and ask for details about the actual steps, the time they took, and costs.

    • Specialisms - Look for an experienced handyman that specialises in residential or commercial properties depending on your needs.

    • Appointments - Your handyman service professional should provide you with a specific and confirmed appointment and be clear about when the job will start and finish.

    • Tools - Professionals always bring their own tools and materials. A good handyman would never ask you to supply your own.

    • Charging - A reputable handyman service should only charge you while your handyman is working for you. You should not have to pay a fee to cover travel, for example. Your handyman should respect your home and work both efficiently and carefully. They should also clean up after the maintenance job is completed.


    You can be confident that any of the Bark local handymen listed will give you a reliable and professional service.

    How do I check my Handyman's credentials?

    There is no formal training required to be a handyman. Although they usually have experience with hardware tools and electrical equipment as well as a basic understanding of electrical, plumbing, or HVAC systems. It is also worth looking out for City & Guilds, BTEC, and NVQ qualifications in related fields.

    Before you choose a handyman or handywoman, make sure that you read their customer testimonials and reviews on their website or Bark profile.

    Maz and his team are by far the best we have ever had the pleasure of working with. They are very knowledgeable, honest and their craftsmanship is the best we have seen in our years of dealing with different builders. They turn up everyday in the morning, are never late or miss a day and work a full day. Everyday they provided us with updates and what the plan is, what the following days plan is and will keep you up to date on their targets for the week. We will be recommending them to people we know who may be looking for builders, they are now our go to guys and will be our permanent team for when we need something doing. Well done to Maz and his team and thank you for transforming our house!!

    I hope I speak for many out there. Finding someone these day's who is not only capable but above and beyond accommodating. My bed arrived on Monday from Archer's. Being disabled with multiple health conditions, I saved for close to 2yrs to purchase a adjustable bed with delivery & assembly. Well yes bed arrived but no assembly booked. Was reassured by Archer's would be somepoint same day, of course no show. Was reassured would be 1st thing following day, which meant 3 nights of discomfort on recliner. Following day, again no show. Archer's once again, usual apologies & will be following day, I refused. I went on website & only 1 person upon explaining situation, offered to come and assemble bed same day. Rare in this day & age to have thoughtful understanding. Josh arrived after 7pm as was on another job in Leicester but gave assurance would get bed ready for me to enable me to have a restful night. Josh immediately got on with task, very thorough, excellent communication in location, which side controls etc and before I knew it my bed was ready. Furthermore, whilst here, I asked if he minded balancing the cooker for me, bearing in mind 2 previous builders had attempted & failed. OMG, cooker was done within minutes, I can now cook without having issue's with everything cooking on one side due to not being balanced from the start. Josh also assembled my exercise machine which is to help me with my health. If you're unsure about handyman/builders, I highly recommend give Josh a shout, service above and beyond, very professional, respected my property, very clean and tidy but more than anything, he has experience and knowledge to put into anything at hand. Very very reasonable charge and will definitely be asking him to do other job's that need doing. Have already recommended him to my neighbour upstairs as she too was highly impressed with prompt response and excellent job(s) done. He's definitely no time waster or for taking breaks. I know I will definitely be calling Josh again and would highly recommend to anyone without hesitation. Thank you Josh for bringing your experience knowledge to my home. Highly recommend.

    Jamie cleaned mine and 2 of my neighbours windows. Very impressed with the quality of the work and will definitely be using JFT windows again.
