What handyman services cover
A handyman handles the small repair and fitting jobs around a home or office. These jobs are too small for a full contractor but still need the right tools and care. Drilling into the wrong spot can hit a pipe or cable, so the wall type matters.
Typical jobs include picture hanging, TV mounting and curtain hanging. They also include light and chandelier fitting and touch-up painting. Send us your list on WhatsApp and we will confirm if we can help.
Some jobs need a specialist. Larger wiring work belongs with our electrical services. Leaks and blocked drains are covered under plumbing services in Dubai. Built-in wardrobes, doors and custom furniture suit our carpentry services. A full repaint is a job for painting services.
A one-time AC visit can also be booked. For faults, see AC repair in Dubai. If small jobs keep coming up, an AMC and PPM plan covers planned maintenance for your property.

Why small repair jobs build up in Dubai
Many Dubai residents rent, so they move often. Each move brings new curtains, TVs, shelves and pictures to fit. Rented walls vary too. Some are concrete, some are plasterboard, and each needs different fixings.
Heat and humidity wear out fittings sooner. Hinges loosen, paint marks and seals fail. Towers also add rules. Many buildings limit drilling hours or ask for approval for some work. Check with your management office before drilling.
Handover and move-out add pressure. Tenants and owners often need many small fixes before a deadline. A single list handled in one visit saves time.

Handyman FAQs for Dubai
How much does a handyman cost in Dubai?
Published figures show a call-out of about AED 80 to AED 150 and a first-hour rate of about AED 100 to AED 150. These are not a HiTech FM quote. We give you a clear estimate before any work starts.
Which jobs can a handyman do?
Typical jobs are TV mounting, picture hanging, curtain hanging, light fitting and touch-up painting. Send your list and photos on WhatsApp. We will confirm what we can do and tell you the next steps.
Can you mount a TV on any wall?
Not always. The wall type and the TV weight decide the fixings. Concrete, plasterboard and tiled walls need different methods. Send us the TV size and a photo of the wall, and we will explain your options.
Can I book several small jobs in one visit?
Yes. Send the full list with a photo of each job. We will tell you the next steps and give one clear estimate. Grouping jobs means one plan for the whole list.
How long does a handyman job take?
It depends on the job. Hanging a picture is quick. Mounting a large TV or fitting several curtain rods takes longer. The technician can give the expected time once the jobs and walls have been looked at.
Is this a handyman job or an electrician job?
Fitting a light or chandelier is a typical handyman job. New wiring, new circuits or a tripping breaker need an electrician. If you are unsure, message us a photo and we will say which service you need.
Do I need building permission to drill?
Many Dubai towers set rules on drilling and work hours. Villas usually have fewer limits. Check with your management office and tell us the building name when you message, so we can plan the visit.
Do you also do carpentry and touch-up painting?
Touch-up painting and small carpentry fixes are part of our handyman work. Larger carpentry and full repainting have their own pages. Message us the details and we will point you to the right service.
Do you offer plans for regular small repairs?
Our annual maintenance contract covers planned property maintenance. Message us to ask what the plan includes. We explain your options before you decide, so you can compare it with paying per visit.
