Types of Handyman and Property Maintenance Work You Can Hire For

Furniture & Flat-Pack Assembly

IKEA wardrobes, bed frames, desks, bookcases, office chairs, and garden furniture — built, levelled, and tidied up afterwards. Often booked the same day boxes arrive.

Wall Mounting & Hanging

TV brackets, floating shelves, mirrors, picture rails, curtain poles, blinds, and heavy frames — fixed cleanly to plasterboard, brick, or stud walls with the right anchors.

Small Plumbing Repairs

Dripping taps, washer changes, blocked sinks, slow-filling cisterns, leaking traps, and shower-head replacements. Non-gas plumbing fixes that don't need a full plumber.

Light Fittings & Minor Electrical

Replacing light fittings, ceiling roses, dimmer switches, and like-for-like sockets. Some handymen on Grafter hold Part P certification — check their uploaded documents before hiring electrical work.

Doors, Locks & Windows

Sticking doors planed and rehung, draught-proofing strips, broken hinges, lock and barrel replacements, sash window repairs, and window restrictor fittings.

Tiling, Grouting & Bathroom Touch-Ups

Re-grouting tired tiles, fresh silicone around baths and basins, splashback fitting, replacement tiles, and the small bathroom fixes a property needs between tenants. Often booked alongside a painter and decorator for a full refresh.

What Clients Say About Hiring Handymen and Property Maintenance Specialists on Grafter

★★★★★
"Posted a list of eight little jobs we'd been ignoring for months — leaky kitchen tap, sagging shelf, sticking back door, blind to fit. The handyman we hired ticked the lot off in a single afternoon. Reasonable price agreed up front and no fuss."
Becky M. Homeowner, Bristol
