Handypeople in Worcester Park: Homeowners vs renters

If you’re a homeowner:

You’re responsible for all maintenance and repairs. That means you can choose your own handyperson and get jobs booked on your schedule. Keep receipts for any work done, especially if you’re thinking of selling later.

If you’re renting:

The landlord or letting agent usually handles repairs. Always check your tenancy agreement before booking work yourself. For anything structural or safety-related, contact them first. You can still book a handyperson for decorative or cosmetic jobs (like putting up shelves or curtains), but it’s a good idea to get permission in writing.

What to ask a handyman before hiring

Start with these:

• Have you done similar jobs before?
• Can I see reviews or photos of recent work?
• Do you bring your own tools and protective gear?
• Are materials included in the quote, or should I buy them?
• Are you insured for accidental damage?
• Are you qualified to do electrical or plumbing work, if relevant?
