    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.

    Please may I have an idea of the cost of fixing inner porch door lock. Handle turns but key won’t turn to secure lock. Probably requires removal of metal strip to fix mechanism. Looks like a simple job which I can’t manage.

    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?
