"They scoped up the cost of my job and a couple of companies gave quotes. We had the in-house Hey Alfie team do the work. The team tidied up every day before they left. I would definitely work with them again."

Handyman FAQs

How can I find a good handyman near me?

The easiest way is through Hey Alfie. Alfie finds you trusted local handypeople who are available in your area. No more endless searching or chasing quotes online, just book through Alfie and get the job done right.

Why should I use Hey Alfie instead of finding someone myself?

Finding a reliable tradesperson yourself can be a headache when it comes to chasing quotes, juggling schedules, and hoping the work is done right. Alfie takes all of that off your plate. From finding the right pro to making sure the job’s done properly, we manage it end-to-end. And with our £1,000 Guarantee, you’re always protected.

What does a handyman do?

A handyman can help with a wide range of everyday jobs around the home, from small fixes to bigger household tasks that don’t need a licensed tradesperson. Hey Alfie handymen save you time and hassle by handling jobs like:

Furniture assembly – beds, wardrobes, desks, and flat-pack items.
General repairs – wall patching, door adjustments, squeaky hinges, minor leaks.
Shelving and mounting – hanging shelves, putting up blinds, curtains, TVs, or mirrors.
Painting and decorating touch-ups – small-scale painting or repair jobs.
Basic plumbing tasks – fixing dripping taps, unblocking sinks, replacing washers.
Small electrical fixes – replacing light fittings, switches, sockets, or installing ceiling fans.
Outdoor work – fixing gates, minor fence repairs, gutter cleaning, garden shed assembly.

For specialist jobs like full electrical rewiring, boiler servicing, or structural work, Alfie makes sure you’re connected to a qualified tradesperson with the right certifications.

With Hey Alfie, you get the best of both worlds: a trusted handyman for everyday jobs, and the right expert for anything more complex, all booked, managed, and guaranteed up to £1,000.

Can I book a handyman for multiple small jobs?

Yes. You can list all your tasks in one booking, and your handyperson could complete them in a single visit if they are able to. This saves you time and money compared to finding and booking separate tradespeople.

Do I need to provide tools or materials?

No. Our handypeople bring their own tools. If special materials are required (e.g., replacement parts, brackets, or fittings), you can either provide them or request the handyperson to source them.

How much does a handyman charge?

Handyperson rates in the UK can range from £80 to £100 per hour, depending on:

Experience level - More experienced handypeople charge toward the higher end
Job complexity - Simple tasks vs. specialist work
Time of booking - Weekends and evenings often cost more
Minimum charges - Many have 1 hour minimums

For specific jobs, they might quote:

Small repairs (fixing squeaky door, hanging pictures): £80-150
Flatpack furniture assembly: £80+ per item
Basic plumbing (tap washer, toilet seat): £80-200
Minor electrical (changing light fittings): £80-150

How does pricing work on Hey Alfie?

Our pricing is task based. Alfie calculates the cost based on the job type and estimated time, and you’ll get to see quotes for free before booking.

How quickly can I book a handyman?

Many jobs can be scheduled immediately, depending on local availability. For urgent repairs, Alfie will prioritise getting someone to you as quickly as possible.

What happens after I book?

You’ll receive a confirmation email with details of your handyperson. They’ll arrive on time, complete the job, and you’ll only pay securely once the work is finished to your satisfaction. Alfie will be guiding you at every step of the way.

What if I’m not satisfied with the work?

We stand behind every booking with our £1,000 guarantee. If something isn’t right, Hey Alfie will work to make it right, whether that means a fix from the same handyperson or a new handyperson.

How does your guarantee work?

If your original handyman doesn't sort out any issues, Hey Alfie will pay up to £1,000 including VAT for a different handyman to complete the work to the right standard. Learn more here.
