Handyman and joinery services in Manchester
One booked visit for the accumulated small stuff - a sticking door, a cracked ceiling, a missing handrail, four picture hooks - plus proper joinery when something needs making or replacing.

What to know before you book
Most rental properties accumulate a list of small jobs that never individually justify calling a specialist trade - a door that sticks, a wobbly handrail, a squeaking floorboard, a few picture hooks - but together are enough to matter to a tenant and to a check-out inventory. A handyman visit exists to clear that whole list in one booking rather than one trade call per item.
Before the visit, write down everything you have noticed, even small things, since batching a genuine list into one visit is almost always cheaper and faster than calling separately for each item later. If something on the list is actually structural or safety-related - a door that needs fire-rating, for example, or a floor that feels unsafe rather than just noisy - flag it specifically, since that changes what needs doing and by whom.
Expect a single visit, a single invoice, and a written record of what was done, which is particularly useful for clearing a snagging list before a new tenancy starts rather than after a tenant has moved in and started noticing things. The handyman or joiner is an independent, time-served tradesperson who quotes you directly. FlatFix365 books half-day or full-day visits and can combine a snagging list with a pre-tenancy clean or inspection, saving a separate call-out for each small job.
What is included
Scope we regularly arrange
Every job is quoted to your property, so this is the range rather than a fixed package. Tell us what you actually need and the quote reflects only that.
- Internal and external door hanging, easing and adjustment
- Fire door installation and intumescent strip renewal
- Skirting, architrave and moulding repairs
- Floorboard, laminate and squeaking floor repairs
- Ceiling and plasterboard patching and making good
- Shelving, blinds, curtain poles, mirrors and TV brackets
- Fitted wardrobes, understairs and bespoke joinery
- Snagging lists and end of tenancy small works
Why it matters. Around two thirds of landlords report being contacted about non-urgent maintenance within a single year. Batching those into one booked visit is almost always cheaper than calling a separate trade for each, and clearing a snagging list before check-in is one of the simplest ways to avoid an argument over the deposit at the end of the tenancy.
Half-day and full-day visits usually available within 2 - 5 working days.
We introduce you to an independent, vetted specialist for this work. They confirm the scope, price and timing with you in writing, invoice you directly, and carry their own insurance. Our referral fee is paid by them and never added to your price.

Carpentry & Handyman - common questions
Most jobs are priced by the visit - a half-day or full-day booking covering everything on your list - rather than item by item, which is usually cheaper than calling separate trades. Larger joinery work, such as a fitted wardrobe or bespoke shelving, is quoted separately once the scope is clear.
Half-day and full-day visits are usually available within two to five working days. It helps to have your full list ready before booking, since a longer list booked in one visit is more efficient than adding items after the appointment is already scheduled.
General carpentry, fixing, small repairs and installations - doors, shelving, floorboards, plasterboard patching - are handyman and joinery work. Anything involving gas, the fixed electrical installation, or structural changes needs a specifically certified trade, and a competent handyman will say so rather than attempt work outside their scope.
Yes - addressing small defects before check-in, rather than after a tenant has moved in and started reporting them one by one, is one of the simplest ways to avoid disputes later, particularly around what counts as pre-existing wear versus tenant-caused damage at the end of the tenancy.
