Property Maintenance & Trade Services
Handyman services cover the small, varied jobs around a property that do not each need a separate trade: shelves, flat-pack, fixings, minor repairs and odd jobs, with a clear scope agreed up front.
Who it is for: Homeowners, landlords and agents with a list of small jobs.
What it covers: Assembly, fixing, hanging, adjusting and minor repairs, agreed as a defined list.
When a survey is needed: A job list and photos are usually enough to scope and price the work.
A handyman visit is ideal for a batch of small jobs: putting up shelves, assembling flat-pack, fixing a handle, hanging a door, sealing around a bath. Grouping them into one visit is efficient.
The key is a clear, agreed list, so the scope and price are understood before the visit, without hidden assumptions.

Common questions
Small, varied jobs: flat-pack assembly, shelves and fittings, minor repairs, adjustments, and sealing or making-good.
No. Gas work and notifiable electrical work go to a certified trade, not a general handyman visit.
You can supply fittings, or iTrade can quote for materials as part of the job.
Often yes. A longer list may be split across visits, agreed when quoting.
iTrade will flag it and agree any change before continuing, so there are no surprises.
