How it works

How a handyman visit works

How a handyman visit works with The Little Job Co. is simple: you make a list, we read it properly, agree the work and price with you, then tick off as much as we can in one visit.

The idea

Small jobs are easier in a batch

Most homes have a short list of jobs that never quite get done: a shelf, a sticking door, a curtain pole still in its box. On their own they are hard to book. Together they make a sensible visit.

So we start with your list rather than a single job, read it properly before we arrive and bring what it needs. The aim is to leave with every line ticked.

From your list to a plan.

  1. Step 1: Make your list

    Write down everything, however small.

    Room by room works well. A wobbly handle and a shelf in the same room are one visit, not two.

  2. Step 2: Share the details

    Photos and your postcode help.

    A photo of each job, the product link for anything flat-pack and rough measurements for poles and blinds.

  3. Step 3: Agree the work

    Discuss the scope and quote.

    We reply within one working day, say what is included and what is not, and give a price for the whole list.

  4. Step 4: Arrange a visit

    Find a suitable time together.

    We book a slot that fits your week and bring the fixings and tools the list needs.

What we do

Six everyday jobs

Jobs for a specialist

We keep to small, practical jobs. If something on your list needs a qualified or registered trade, we will tell you plainly:

  • Gas appliances and pipework (a Gas Safe registered engineer, by law)
  • New sockets, lights or wiring (a qualified electrician)
  • New plumbing, radiators or bathrooms (a plumber)
  • Roofs, chimneys and damp (a roofer or surveyor)

★★★★★Sample review

“Filled every hole from the old shelves, touched up the hallway and refitted a loose skirting board. The flat looked ready to let.”

This is a demo website

The Little Job Co. is a fictional business, so there is no phone number to call. On a real site this button would ring the business. You can still try the enquiry form: it shows how a list of jobs would be sent, without sending anything.
