Hi Everyone :)

I am looking for a reliable handyman in the Epsom area, I have been let down recently and I am looking for a reliable affordable handyman for a few bits and bobs around the house including stripping wallpaper, painting decorating etc.

I would appreciate if anyone had any good recommendations.

Thank you so much :)

I've no idea where Epsom is. You'd be better posting on a local Facebook group.

Why not get a painter and decorator to do a painting and decorating job ?

A lot of the time people say they want a "handyman" because they don't want to pay the proper professional to do the job. Then there is shock as they don't produce as good a result and take twice as long as someone who dedicates their life full time to a particular profession.

Its just not painting and decorating I need them to do, as there are other jobs i need done. Installing blinds, putting down flooring so I thought a handyman would be better :)

I don’t know the Epsom area but have found some good people locally to me using the Nextdoor app. You can search for posts and comments on people who advertise.

I totally get where you’re coming from, finding a reliable handyman can be tricky, especially when you’ve already been let down. In my experience, a good handyman should be able to handle a mix of jobs like painting, wallpaper removal, or small repairs without charging the same rates as a specialist tradesperson.

If you’re open to checking out different providers, Handyman Services Singapore has been a trusted option for many people I know who needed both minor repairs and decorating work done efficiently. They focus on being affordable without cutting corners, which makes them a solid choice when you don’t necessarily need a full-time painter or decorator. You can click here to get an idea of the type of work they cover.

That said, if you prefer someone more local to Epsom, it might still be worth joining a local Facebook or community group, as others suggested, to find recommendations closer to home.
