Trades in SwanseaOdd jobs & small repairs

A handyman in Swansea for the odd-jobs list

The shelf that needs putting up, the wardrobe still in its box, the bathroom door that sticks, the sealant round the bath that's gone black. Write the jobs as a list, add a photo of each, and a handyman can quote for the lot.

You post the job from the Handled app.

The home screen: "Hi there", "What needs doing?", a "Describe the job" box, and "Or pick a trade" with a "List view" button and tiles for Plumber, Electrician, Cleaner, Exterior cleaner, Handyman and Gardener.

What this covers

  • Flat-pack assembly
  • Shelves, curtains and blinds
  • TV wall mounting
  • Doors, handles and hinges
  • Small repairs
  • Painting touch-ups
  • Sealant and grout

For handymen, there is no register the app checks. Identity and insurance are recorded, as for every trade.

Questions

Questions about handyman jobs

Can I put several small jobs in one post?

Yes — that's how most handyman jobs are posted. The app asks you to list the jobs; one line per job works well, with a photo of each.

Can a handyman mount my TV?

Choose TV wall mounting and add a photo of the wall. Say what the wall is if you know — plasterboard and solid brick need different fixings.

What's the difference between a handyman and a carpenter?

A handyman takes on small jobs across the house. For fitted wardrobes, stairs, wooden floors or decking, post the job under Carpenter.

Can I add a light fitting to the list?

Light fittings, sockets and anything on the gas supply are posted under Electrician or Heating engineer in the app, so the quote comes from that trade. Keep the handyman list to the rest.

Can I say I need it done this week?

Yes. The app asks when you'd like it done: flexible, this week if possible, or urgently. Handymen see your answer before they quote, and each quote says when they can start.
