Frequently Asked Questions
What can a handyman legally do in Ireland?
Handymen can do most minor work — assembly, repairs, painting, basic carpentry. They cannot do electrical work requiring certification, gas work (RGI only), or major plumbing. For those, hire a qualified tradesperson.
Is a handyman cheaper than a specialist?
For small jobs, yes. Specialists have minimum charges that make small jobs expensive. Handymen often have lower call-out fees and can do multiple small jobs in one visit.
Can I give a handyman a list of jobs?
Absolutely — that's often the best approach. List everything you need done and they can quote for the whole list. It's more efficient and often cheaper than separate visits.
Do handymen supply materials?
Some do, some don't. Many can pick up materials for an additional fee. For specific items (blinds, taps), you may want to choose them yourself. Clarify this when getting quotes.
