Frequently asked questions
What jobs can a handyman not do?
Anything involving gas needs a Gas Safe engineer, and most electrical work beyond changing a light fitting or a socket faceplate needs a registered electrician. A good handyman will tell you when a job is outside what they can do.
How is a handyman usually charged?
By the hour, by the half day or by the day, sometimes with a minimum charge. Ask whether materials are included and whether travel time counts.
Should I buy the materials myself?
For small jobs, often yes: shelves, fittings and paint you have chosen. Ask the handyman what to buy and how much, or agree that they buy it and show you the receipts.
How do I get a quote from handymen in Selly Oak?
Pick a listing on this page and send a job request saying what needs doing and when suits you. The business comes back to you with a price and a time. It is free to ask, and no payment is taken online.
Are the handymen on this page vetted?
Not yet. Listings marked Claimed have been claimed by the business and are kept up to date by them; the rest come from public records and are marked as not yet verified. Every listing shows its real Google rating and review count where one exists. We say plainly what we have checked and what we have not.
What should I check before I hire a handyman?
Ask for a written quote and what it includes, who will do the work, whether they are insured, and any registration the trade needs, such as Gas Safe for gas work or a Part P scheme for electrics. Never pay the full amount up front.
Prices and availability are confirmed by each business. No payment is taken online, you pay the tradesperson directly.
