What does a handyman charge in London?
I've got a list of small jobs around the house and want to get a handyman in for a day. What's a typical daily rate in London and what should I expect to be included? Do I have to supply tools?
Expert Trade Answers
"I'm a Carpenter / Handyman working in the Oxford area, I charge £40.00 per hour and only charge the hours I work, I would think you could add 25% to what I charge .
If a Tradesmen/Handyman has not got the tools t do the work he/she is offering to do I would not i any way employ them."

"Hi Caroline,
Normally they do charge £200-£250.
They should be the one having the tools for the work.
But you should just state the jobs you have and the you will get a quote depending on that it might be less."
