average cost of handyman for an 8 hour day

Best Answer

"I think of it as this, 1 hour is used to commute to you which is a charge then the 8 hours !
Tesco pays £9 an hour to stack shelves, so a handyman is more than just a skill job as they are capable of completing multiple trades. £20 an hour is probably on the low side for a handyman but does depend on what your asking he or she to do."

"Hi
An 8 hr shift is considered a day rate. In Plymouth it is around £120 a day.
This can be broke down but i usually charge £20 an hour for a few hours or would charge half a day if it is 3 hrs. If it goes into 5-6 hrs, some would charge a day rate as they wouldnt be able to do another job that day.
It varies for trades, some handymen could do gas, electric etc so it could be a lot more depending on job, skills needed or area."

"Hi I charge by the hour based on whatever job I take on, so if a job takes 2hrs 15min you would be charged just that however if it was just 1/2 hour then I charge for the first full hour this is to cover my time plus fuel costs.

If a job took longer than usual due to unforeseen circumstances then you would be charged the extra time as it’s classed as unforeseen work.

However if a straight forward job was quoted for in advance then you would be charged the quoted price.

All Handymen work differently some charge more than others between £20 - £65 ph, some charge a callout fee + time and obviously any materials.

Some charge by the hour or by the job they quote."

"Tradesmen / Handymen

A normal working day / shift is roughly £100 - £150 per day. It really depends on the types of works the trades will be doing.

The hourly rate will be anything from £20 - £30 per hour. I hope this helps"

"I charge per item. If it takes me longer then that's just the way it is"

"Hi the average rates do very but as far as I know for an 8 hour day its from £80 upwards to £150 of course this depends on the experience of the tradesmen I hope that this has helped you yours sincerely Wayne Adams"

"Average cost of Handyman is around £40 per hour. Daily rate for tradesman is around £120 per day or £160 if laboner is required. Any Handyman worth his salt would be more than happy with 4+ hours at daily rate.
