Overview

Minor repairs deal with the small faults that are easy to put off: sticking doors, loose fittings, tired sealant, minor plaster damage and similar jobs. Describing the problem, with photos if possible, helps the quote.

What it can include

Depending on your requirements, minor repairs can include:

  • Sticking or misaligned doors
  • Loose handles, hinges and fittings
  • Resealing baths, showers and sinks
  • Filling small holes and cracks
  • Replacing broken fixtures
  • Minor carpentry, depending on your requirements

The exact scope is confirmed as part of your quote.

Questions

Common questions.

What counts as a handyman job?

Small practical jobs around the home: assembling furniture, mounting and hanging, minor repairs, sealant, fittings and the odd jobs that build up. A list of several small jobs can be covered in one visit.

Do you carry out gas or electrical work?

Work that legally needs a registered specialist, such as gas work or notifiable electrical work, is not part of a handyman visit. If you’re unsure, describe the job and you’ll be told whether it fits.

Who supplies the materials?

It depends on the job. Materials, fixings and who provides them are confirmed as part of your quote.

How do I request a quote?

Choose Get a Quote, pick the service, tell us what you need and add photos if they help. Arch reviews your requirements and uses your request reference when discussing the work with you.

Why aren’t prices listed?

Every property and job is different, so each one is quoted individually, based on the work involved, rather than priced from a list.
