Who you're hiring

"Handyman work is the easiest trade to enter and the hardest one for customers to judge. Anyone can call themselves a handyman. The ones who win the good repeat work are the ones whose website makes them look like a proper business from the first scroll."

Will Howard · Founder, Inboundry · London

Zero trade body

"Handyman" has no accreditation body. The honest finding: trust signals are insurance, DBS, reviews, and any real trade qualifications you hold.

No formal qualification. No trade body. No regulatory regime. No "handyman register." Anyone can advertise as a handyman. This is the honest reality of the trade.

We surface what does matter: insurance figures stated clearly, DBS check status, reviews on platforms customers recognise (Checkatrade, Google), a clear scope of what you take on, and any underlying trade qualifications. A handyman who's a qualified joiner or part-P electrician lists those credentials prominently. We don't invent badges.

Source: Industry observation from the research doc. No equivalent of NICEIC or Gas Safe exists for handyman work. Honest finding. See docs/trade-qualifications-trust-signals.md.

The maths

If two extra handyman bookings a week find you at £60 each, what's that worth a year?

£6,240 of additional work from being findable in local search. The Growth plan covers itself in the first fortnight. See what's in Growth.

Built for handymen

What you get from a site built specifically for handyman work.

01

Clear scope of what you actually do

Most handyman sites say 'no job too small' and put off serious customers. We list specifically what you take on (and don't) so the right customers ring and the wrong ones don't waste your time.

02

Insurance and DBS surfaced honestly

There's no handyman accreditation to display. Instead, insurance figures with the insurer, DBS checked status, Checkatrade and Google review counts. The real trust signals for an unregulated trade.

03

Underlying trade qualifications featured

If you happen to be a qualified joiner, plumber, or Part-P electrician, those credentials are gold: they expand what you can legally do and signal real competence. We feature them prominently.

04

Found for "handyman [town]"

Local SEO that ranks for "handyman near me," "odd jobs [town]," "flat pack assembly [town]." Postcode coverage. Specific intent, specific landing pages.

Qualifications & trust signals

The honest credentials for UK handyman work.

Handyman is the catch-all trade with no formal accreditation. Customers hire on insurance, DBS, reviews, and any underlying trade qualifications you hold. We surface what's real and don't invent what isn't.

Must-have qualifications

  • Public liability insurance (£1m to £2m) Single most important trust signal in this trade. Customers worry about damage from a generalist working across multiple disciplines. Surface the figure prominently.
  • DBS check Domestic-focused handymen benefit substantially from displaying this. The customer letting you in the house wants to know who you are.

Show common qualifications (3)

  • Underlying trade qualifications Whatever you're qualified in, list it specifically. A handyman who's a qualified NICEIC electrician or WaterSafe plumber should display those credentials prominently: they materially expand what you can legally do.
  • Checkatrade / Which? Trusted Trader / TrustATrader Reviews-platform vetting. Carries more weight here than in other trades because customers can't easily verify a generalist's competence.
  • Guild of Master Craftsmen Cross-trade vetted membership. Worth featuring if you hold it.

Show niche & situational qualifications (3)

  • Gas Safe (uncommon but valuable) Specific to handymen who handle gas appliance disconnection during kitchen swaps. See gas engineers.
  • Part P registered electrician For handymen doing notifiable electrical work. Without it, that work can't legally be done. See electricians.
  • Water Industry Approved Plumbers' Scheme For minor plumbing work.

Questions handymen ask us

Common questions, plain answers.

There's no handyman accreditation. Does the site try to fake one?
No. We surface what's real: insurance figures, DBS status, Checkatrade and Google reviews, and any underlying trade qualifications you hold. Inventing a 'handyman register' that doesn't exist would undermine everything else on the site, and customers in this trade are explicitly wary of made-up credentials.
I'm a qualified joiner / plumber / electrician. Can the site lead with that?
Yes, and it should. Underlying trade qualifications materially expand what you can legally and competently do. A handyman who's NICEIC-qualified can do notifiable electrical work; one who's WaterSafe-registered can do plumbing properly. We lead with those credentials.
Can the site limit the kind of work I take on?
Yes, explicitly. Most handyman sites say 'no job too small' and end up with calls for jobs they don't want. We list what you actually take on (and don't), filtering the inbound calls before they reach your phone.
Will reviews matter on the site?
Yes, and they matter more here than in regulated trades. We surface Checkatrade, Google, and Which? Trusted Trader reviews prominently. Customers can't verify your competence from a credential, so they verify it from other customers.
How fast can the site go live?
Seven days from the discovery call. Once we have your insurance figures, DBS status, qualifications, and service area, we usually get a first build over within 2 to 3 days. Handyman sites are among the fastest to build.
