HandymanService.ie is an Irish introduction and booking platform that connects homeowners and businesses with trusted, vetted handymen across Dublin, Kildare, Carlow and Laois. Tell us what you need done over WhatsApp, by phone, or through the website. Send a few photos if you have them. You get a clear written estimate with a per job breakdown before you commit to anything, so you always know where you stand. Once you confirm your booking, we match you with a handyman from our platform. We usually have handymen on standby, and 95% of jobs are done the same day they are booked. What makes us different is the vetting. Every handyman on the platform is background checked, reviewed by previous customers, and personally interviewed by our directors. Most applicants do not make it through. Every booking comes with a live job card, a single link where you can see your estimate, the agreed scope, your photos, the schedule and any updates, all in one place. Our scheduling assistant agrees the visit time between you and your handyman right in the chat, and our AI assistant Laura, always introduced as such, is available around the clock. If anything on site differs from what was described, your handyman flags it and agrees any change with you before starting. You pay the handyman directly once the work is done. Tiling, painting, plasterboard repair, door hanging, flat pack assembly, media walls, TV mounting, and general repairs. If it needs fixing, fitting or finishing, we can help.

Works completed and I'm absolutely delighted with the service... The lads couldn't have been more professional and tidy ... Could not recommend this service more
Would definitely use this service again. Just needed a few small bits sorted -- shower head holder and a curtain pole fixture that had come out of the wall. I was happy with the work and it was very handy how everything was tracked. I had a bit of an issue getting the job scheduled initially through AI, but a person popped in on the WhatsApp number to help and it was smooth from there, guy came out the following day. Would recommend
Not impressed.
I requested a professional plumber to attend a job and stated what I wanted to be done, this company uses an automated A.i service to source tradesmen.
The A.i service listed part of the job completely wrong, then they proceeded to send out a guy who has no English and was unable to understand what is was exactly that I expected done.
After the job was finished he was paid in full, when after checking the work myself I discovered it was incomplete i tried to contact him numerous times but was ignored.
I got back on to handyman service.ie to ask why exactly part of the job was listed wrong and therefore not priced correctly. I also asked why the professional plumber they sourced hadn't got the common sense to contact me regarding the confusion he had, as stated in his final report.
Instead he checked an overflow pipe that was dribbling and came to the conclusion that it was from the water tank, I had already explained that this was most likely the source of the leak to handyman service.ie.
Instead of contacting me and arranging an extra cost for parts and labour he left the job when paid.
I proceeded to query this chain of events after reporting the problem to which I was told basically it was my fault not theirs I should have been more specific in detailing every single aspect of the job required.
They told me that they would waive the booking fee but I would need to book another plumber to come back out to look at the exact same job as previously viewed by the 1st plumber and pay him additional travel, labour and parts.
Absolutely terrible customer service from management who admitted the bare minimum liability and error.
I will never use this service again for anything.
Extremely UNPROFESSIONAL!

Paul, we accept that the distinction between diagnosis and a separate repair could have been explained more clearly. The agreed work was completed: the cistern syphon was replaced and the overflow traced to a separate water tank valve that was neither included nor priced. Our platform prevents doorstep scope negotiations: agreed work is delivered at the agreed price, while additional labour and parts must be separately agreed and paid; we waived the return platform fee in full.
Waste of money. After booking the handyman they send u guy who charges the extra money and work re mains incomplete. Also handyman doesn't take care after booking wrong person

Abhishek, the first attendance established that a required window part or material was not available, so the repair could not proceed that day. The later labour and travel related to a return visit after that material became available, not to work already paid for. All scope and costs must be agreed in advance, and we remain available to review the full booking record.
Nice friendly service completed job on time . Work looks very good.

Thank you, Gary. Clear pricing, fast scheduling and professional workmanship are exactly what we aim to deliver.
Very bad experience.
I booked the handyman service for a tv wall mounting and i paid the full amount to the handymanwho came . But the tv was damaged when we opened the pack so the handyman said he will come and wall mount the tv after I get the replacement tv at no extra cost but I told him that I will pay for his travel. But after I got the replacement tv I was asked to go for a new booking and I was asked to pay the full amount again.

Monica, the mounting could not proceed because the television was found damaged when its packaging was opened. The payment and return arrangement described were made directly with the independent handyman, rather than HandymanService.ie. We remain available to review the booking record and clarify any separate platform charge.
Was recommended to contact this service. We needed a job done with urgency but also something that was more cost effective than we were previously being quoted. We received a more favorable quote but also the job was done with great efficiency. It would make us contact the service again because the communication was also really good. Quick and clear replies.
