Pricing guide

Cost is driven mainly by the size and complexity of the item and the labour required per visit. Simple items are typically less involved than large or very complex systems that may need two people, specialist fixings or staged visits; work outside normal hours is usually charged at a higher rate (often 1.5–2.0x).

  • Item size and weight

    Large or heavy items often require multiple installers or extra handling, which increases labour and time.

  • Assembly complexity

    Multi-component systems, many accessories or special sequencing generally add significant time and may need staged visits.

  • Whether contractor supplies parts

    Customer-supplied boxed items are assumed; if the handyman sources fixings or missing parts, materials allowances or adjustments usually apply.

  • Access and parking conditions

    Restricted access, tight spaces or poor parking typically lengthen the job and can require extra labour or equipment.

  • Timing and after-hours work

    Work outside standard hours is usually charged at a higher rate, often around 1.5–2.0x the usual rate.

Frequently asked questions

How long will my flatpack take to assemble?
Most standard single-piece items are typically completed in a single visit. Large, awkward or very complex assemblies usually take longer and may require staged visits or extra labour.
Do handymen need to be licensed?
Handyman work is generally unlicensed, but any work involving specialised trades such as electrical, gas or plumbing usually requires a licensed tradesperson. If those services are needed, the job is often referred or quoted with compliance-related adjustments.
Do I need to provide tools or parts?
You are usually expected to supply the boxed item and its original parts and fittings. If you want the handyman to source additional fixings or replace missing parts, that is often possible and is typically handled via materials allowances or adjustments.
What details should I include when requesting a quote?
Mention the number and type of items, whether any are large or need two-person lifts, whether parts are included, and any access or parking constraints. These details usually help the handyman estimate required labour, equipment and whether staged visits or specialist fixings may be needed.
