Odd jobs around the house and office

We love odd jobs - which is exactly what a handyman is for. A handyman is someone who covers a little bit of all the trades, a multi-trade person, if you will. From fixing mirrors to repairing door handles - we can get all sorts of jobs done in one visit.

So, how long do odd jobs take to do?

The stock answer is - how long is a piece of string? It's not a cop out. Before we've seen the job, it's impossible to commit to a time frame to complete it. There are too many factors that will have an effect on time. However, we can give you a rough estimate based on our experiences. These figures are based on a single handyman. If time is a factor, two men will be quicker - obviously. Also, as you might imagine, two men working together are faster than the sum of their parts.

Of course, you can always save the extra cost of employing two handymen - on larger jobs at any rate, if you are able to lend a hand yourself. Please see the tables below, but remember - this is a guide only.
