  • Starting a handyman business

    I want to start my own handyman business and I'm looking for a bit of advice on how to price jobs. Should I work out an hourly rate and charge that regardless of the job. Or should I charge more for complex/skilled jobs? I have some experience and basic qualifications for things such as plumbing, so I don't want to sell myself short but I don't want to price myself out either.

    Question for a handyman (UK)

    I have an electrician attending to fit some new plug sockets. In order to do this he will need to chase the cables on the wall. This will mean I then need the wall to be filled by a handyman. Can you tell me: Generally how long it takes to plaster or fill plaster board walls so I can get a rough idea? Are there fast drying materials to get the job done quicker? Will I be able to get the walls plastered/filled then hang things on them the same day?
