Websites for handyman services
Say what you do and what you do not. Vagueness attracts the wrong jobs.
The handyman's problem is scope. Enquiries range from hanging a picture to rewiring a kitchen, and a good share of them are jobs that legally or sensibly need a qualified specialist.
Being specific about the work you take on filters out the time-wasting enquiries and, counter-intuitively, increases the good ones, because customers can tell immediately whether their job is one you want.
What your customers want answered
- What sort of jobs do you do, and what will you not touch
- How do you charge — hourly, half day, or per job
- Is there a minimum charge
- How soon could you come
- Are you insured
A list of typical jobs with pricesFlat-pack assembly, shelves, curtain poles, door adjustments, sealant, minor repairs, small carpentry. A list of real jobs with real prices tells customers exactly what you are for, and turns a vague trade into something people can buy without a conversation.
Implying you can do regulated work
Gas work requires Gas Safe registration, and notifiable electrical work has to be certified. A page that hints otherwise attracts enquiries you must turn down and undermines trust when you do.

One message is enough to start. I’ll read it and reply myself, usually with a couple of questions and a clear price.
