General handymanAn hour, a half day or a day of small jobs around the house — sticking doors, curtain poles, silicone, loose handles, minor repairs and fitting things — the list no single trade wants.
Shelving and picture hangingPutting up shelves, floating shelves, mirrors, pictures, curtain poles and blinds with fixings suited to the wall and the weight, so they stay up and stay level.
TV mountingMounting a television on the wall on a bracket rated for it, level and at a comfortable height, and hiding the cables in trunking or behind the wall.

Hiring a handyman in Ireland

A handyman takes the list of small jobs no single trade wants: flat-pack, shelves, TV brackets, sticking doors, silicone, curtain poles. Most price by the hour or half day, so a clear list with photographs gets the most accurate offers.

Some jobs on a list are not handyman work. A new socket or circuit is restricted electrical work and anything on a gas appliance needs a Registered Gas Installer — keep those in a separate task.
