Cost of hiring a handyman for weekend work

I need to hire a handyman to do a few small repair jobs to a house I'm renting out. The tenant would prefer the jobs to be done at the weekend. Is this likely to cost me more?

"I assume there is only some small jobs to be taken in the property.
If so, and if assuming the Handy Person will only work about 6 hours on Saturday and 6 hours on Sunday, you will probably have to pay for their labour about £160 a day, so £320 for a weekend"

"Hi,
It depends on the type of work you need to do. For example, during the week, it is £30 per hour and weekends starting from £50 -£80 per hour.
Thanks
