If Rated People isn't successful for you, try another website like Trust in Blue or Trustatrader.

Before you make a final decision you must check that your handyman possesses the required expertise to finish your specific project. Certain handymen will take any job give them them in their stride, whilst others may not be quite so confident. When you think it over, do you actually want an odd job man doing electrical or plumbing work in your home? For work like this you're generally better off getting a specialist tradesman. Most odd job men will however tackle things like repairing a leaky tap or swapping a plug.

A It doesn't do any harm to give something back by way of free publicity. This can be done on the internet by posting positive feedback and more personally by informing friends and neighbours. Your handyman's contact information are worth a king's ransom, so make sure you don't mislay them.

Painting & Decorating Lambeth

The majority of Lambeth odd job men will provide basic painting & decorating services for those smaller one-off jobs.

A handyman can reasonable be expected to do the following decorating work: plaster patching, smallish wallpapering assignments, painting doors (varnishing or glossing), the filling of cracks and blemishes and woodwork painting (i.e. architraves, skirting boards and dado rails).

Putting up Shelves Lambeth

When I asked an odd project man in Lambeth a couple of weeks ago what was the most common job that he was asked to do, he answered "fitting up shelving". That shouldn't be any huge shock when you consider that virtually every home in Lambeth will have a number of shelves. Installing a shelf is of course a chore that your run-of-the-mill homeowner ought to be able to do at a push. But, there are still lots of people who do not know how to do this, or simply do not have the time, and would prefer to call in a handyman. Being able to relax in the knowledge that the job is going to be done properly and that the shelves are not going to give way after a month is another advantage. Needless to say, it's not just homes in Lambeth which require shelving, shops and business premises also need different kinds of racking and shelving for both storing and displaying their products.
