There are various ways to find tradesmen, some more fruitful than others. Asking relatives and friends for a recommendation is usually one of the best ways to find a handyman who can be trusted. The best sort of recommendation in the world today is word of mouth. A handyman who has done a good job for somebody you know personally, is more than likely to do similar work for you.

While not as good as asking friends or neighbours, websites like Rated People are sometimes worth a try. There are lots of handymen and handywomen registered with Rated People. Odd job men together with most other building type craftsmen can be obtained on Rated People. To be put in contact with a range of local tradesmen you just need to send in the form that's provided.

You should thoroughly check up on any handyman before making a final decision, as they are not all suitable for all kinds of job. Some Eastriggs odd job men will take almost any task in their stride while others may be unwilling to take on more specialised work.

If you're fortunate and your chosen handyman proves to be a success, spread the word around. People who are reliable don't grow on trees, so give something back by offering a little free promotion. Leave favourable online feedback when feasible, and tell friends and neighbours about your experience. Your handyman's mobile number are worth a king's ransom, so be careful not to mislay them.
