Handyman Services in Dubai
TV mounting, picture hanging, furniture assembly, curtain rails, shelf brackets, door adjustments, fixture swaps, drawer slides, IKEA flat-pack. The 30-to-90 minute jobs that don't need a full plumber or electrician — but still need to be done properly the first time. Fixed call-out fee, real tools, no half-finished walls.
What we cover under handyman call-outs
Small jobs done properly. The kind of work where the difference between "good" and "bad" is whether the bracket pulls out of the wall in 6 months — and where good only takes 5 minutes longer.
TV wall mounting
32" through 85" screens. Right fixings for the wall type — concrete anchors for solid walls, hollow-wall toggles for partitions, never the cheap plastic plugs that come in the bracket box. Cable management included on request.
Picture, mirror, and shelf hanging
Stud-finder + level + measured layout. Heavy mirrors over 5 kg get proper anchors, not just nails. We bring spirit levels — the digital screens lie at angle.
Furniture assembly
IKEA, Home Centre, West Elm, Pottery Barn, anything flat-pack. Cam-locks tightened to the right point (not over-spun until they strip), back panels flush, drawers running square. We do not skip steps because the manual is in Swedish.
Curtain rails and blinds
Wall- or ceiling-fixed, single or double track, motorised options. Fixings sized to the curtain weight — heavy blackout curtains pull rails out of plasterboard if mounted with the screws that come in the kit.
Door adjustments
Doors that catch on the frame, stick in summer, or won't latch properly. Hinge re-shimming, latch alignment, threshold trim. Sliding doors that have come off the track — back on, runner cleaned, glide restored.
Lock and door-handle changes
Cylinder swaps, full lockset replacement, smart-lock installation (Yale, August, Aqara), interior handle and knob upgrades. Old hardware removed cleanly without leaving exposed screw holes.
Drawer slides and cabinet hinges
Soft-close upgrades, hinge replacement, drawer fronts that have dropped or wobble. Blum and Häfele compatibility honoured — we don't cross-fit cheap hardware into expensive cabinetry.
Light bulb and fitting swaps
Chandelier and tall-ceiling bulbs, recessed downlight conversions to LED, smart bulb pairing, lamp shade and pendant replacement. Right wattage so heat doesn't damage the fitting.
Tap aerators, shower heads, and fixture swaps
Cleaning scaled aerators, swapping shower heads, replacing tap handles and toilet flush levers. Five-minute fixes that improve flow and stop drips. PTFE tape on every threaded joint.
Small wall and ceiling repairs
Filling old anchor holes when you move out, touching up paint where furniture has scuffed, fixing the corner of skirting that's lifted. We finish the job — not just do the headline task and leave you to patch.
When a handyman is the right call
Some jobs need a full electrician or plumber. Some are 30 minutes with a drill and the right fixings. These are the second category.
Just-moved-in punch list
TV up, pictures hung, IKEA wardrobe assembled, curtain rails fitted, blinds installed. We work through the list in one visit instead of three weekends of half-finished projects.
Heavy mirror or art
Anything over 5 kg needs anchors matched to the wall — concrete vs hollow-wall vs partition. Cheap plastic plugs are why mirrors come down at 3am. We bring the right ones.
Door that suddenly catches
Most often the hinge has shifted or the timber has swelled with humidity. Re-shim and adjust — 15 minutes. Replacing the whole door because of a 2 mm catch is not the answer.
Soft-close gone hard
Hinge dampers wear out around year 5. We replace the hinge, not the cabinet. Blum and Häfele OEM parts kept on the van so we finish the job same visit.
Light fitting needs replacing
Chandeliers, recessed downlights, pendant lamps. Wattage matched to the fitting capacity, ladder we bring, dust cloth for above-furniture work. Old bulbs disposed of properly.
Lock change after a tenant move-out
Standard practice between tenancies. New cylinders, new keys, photographed and logged. Smart-lock pairing if you want to upgrade at the same time.
How a handyman call-out runs
Six steps. Same structure for a single TV mount and a 12-item move-in punch list.
WhatsApp the list
Send a single message with each task — photo for hanging items, link or model for IKEA assembly. We confirm what fits inside one call-out and what needs a separate trade visit.
Fixed call-out fee + per-task estimate
Confirmed in writing on WhatsApp before we dispatch. Most multi-task visits stay inside the call-out window — bigger lists may need 2 hours, quoted up front.
Arrival with the right kit
Cordless drills (Bosch, Makita), wall-type fixings on board (concrete anchors, toggle bolts, plasterboard expansion plugs), spirit levels, stud-finder, screwdriver bits in every common head. We don't need to leave to "buy something quick".
Wall-type check before drilling
Concrete vs partition vs hollow vs marble. Different walls need different fixings, and the cost of getting it wrong is a hole that needs patching plus a TV that fell. We check before the drill goes in.
Job done + cleaned
Drilled debris vacuumed (we bring a small Henry-style vacuum for handyman jobs), packaging removed, IKEA cardboard folded for disposal, your floor as clean as we found it.
Handover photos + warranty
Quick before/after photos shared on WhatsApp. Workmanship warranty start date logged. Payment after handover.
How handyman call-outs are priced
A fixed call-out fee covers the visit and a typical task list. Bigger jobs get an upfront written estimate.
Fixed call-out fee
A fixed fee for the first hour on site. Most multi-item visits fit inside the hour — TV mount + curtain rail + a couple of pictures is roughly the limit. Confirmed on WhatsApp before we dispatch so you know the number before we leave the workshop.
What changes the price
- Number and complexity of items on the list
- Special fixings — concrete anchors, marble drilling, motorised brackets
- Time on site beyond the first hour (charged per additional 30 minutes)
- Materials supplied by us vs. supplied by you
- After-hours / weekend dispatch (if applicable, itemised separately)
How to get a quote
WhatsApp your list — one message with all items, photos for the wall-mounting tasks. We confirm whether it fits in a single call-out and share the all-in price before dispatch.
Workmanship and material warranties
Two layers on every handyman visit. Workmanship is ours; material warranties on hardware, fixings, and electrical fittings pass through directly from the manufacturer.
workspace_premiumWorkmanship warranty
6-month workmanship warranty — if the same issue returns within 6 months due to our work, we'll fix it free of charge. Covers labour only.
For handyman work specifically: a TV bracket that shifts because we used the wrong fixing, a hinge alignment that didn't hold, a curtain rail that pulled out of plasterboard — all covered if the cause traces to our installation.
verifiedMaterial warranties
Material warranties depend on the products and hardware we install. Many of the brands we work with — including Bosch, Makita, Häfele, Blum, Yale, Aqara, and others — carry manufacturer warranties ranging from 1 to 5 years depending on the product. We'll confirm exact warranty terms for the specific materials used on your project before work begins.
Frequently asked questions
What warranty do you provide?
We offer two layers of warranty. First, a 6-month workmanship warranty on the labour we perform — if the same issue returns within 6 months due to our work, we re-do it at no cost. Second, material warranties pass through directly from manufacturers — some systems we install carry warranties of up to 10 years. We'll share exact warranty terms for your specific project before we start.
Does the workmanship warranty cover parts and equipment?
No. Parts, fixtures, and equipment are covered by their manufacturer warranties, which we pass through to you directly. The workmanship warranty covers only the quality of the installation or repair work itself.
How many tasks fit in one call-out?
A rough rule — the first hour comfortably handles a TV mount plus curtain rails, or a few pictures plus furniture assembly, or a multi-room punch list of 6–8 small items. Bigger lists run into a second hour. Send the list on WhatsApp and we'll tell you honestly whether one visit covers it or whether it needs two.
Do you supply hardware (anchors, brackets, fixings) or do I?
We carry standard fixings on the van — concrete anchors, plasterboard toggles, hollow-wall plugs in common sizes. For specialty items (custom TV brackets, motorised curtain tracks, branded smart locks) you typically supply the unit and we install it. We confirm what each task needs on WhatsApp before dispatch.
Will you drill into a marble or concrete wall?
Yes. Marble and concrete need diamond-tipped or SDS bits and slower drilling speed to avoid cracking. We bring those — most cheaper handyman services don't, which is why marble walls in Dubai apartments are often left with chipped edges around fixings. Where there's a known stud or rebar near the drill point, we adjust position rather than drill through.
Can you handle a full move-in punch list?
Yes — and most of our handyman bookings are exactly this. New apartment, list of 10–15 small jobs, often a fresh build that needs everything from light fittings to TV brackets to curtain rails. We schedule it as a 2–3 hour block with one or two technicians and work through the list in priority order. Cheaper and faster than booking each task separately.
Do you do small repairs as well as installations?
Yes — door catches, drawer slides, hinge replacement, soft-close upgrades, lock cylinders, drip-fix on a tap, scuffed paint patch-ups. The rule of thumb: if the job is small enough that booking a specialist trade feels like overkill, it probably belongs on a handyman call.
