Handymen in Leeds: Renters vs Homeowners

Homeowners

If you own your home, you’re responsible for maintenance — and that means choosing who to hire and when. Checkatrade can help you find someone nearby, check their reviews, and get quotes from handymen and women working in your area.

Renters

In Leeds’ busy rental market, knowing what you’re responsible for can be tricky. As a rule:

• Report anything structural, plumbing or electrical to your landlord or agent
• For decorative or DIY-style jobs (like shelves or curtains), always ask for written permission first
• Never carry out electrical or gas work yourself

In short - if you’re renting, you can still hire a handyperson for smaller jobs, but always double check who’s responsible first.

Emergency handymen in Leeds

When something breaks and can’t wait - like a burst pipe or a jammed lock - you need help fast. That’s when to search for an emergency handyperson. Typical urgent jobs that may require an emergency callout include:

• Broken locks or doors that won’t shut
• Water leaks or tap malfunctions
• Wobbly banisters, loose railings or safety hazards
• Faulty light switches (if the handyman is qualified)
