Fix it fast with the best handymen in Glasgow!
I ordered some furniture from a big Amazon sale recently. It’s beautiful, and the price was too good to pass up. But when it arrived, it was a flatpack. No clear note from the seller, no warning about needing to build it myself. Just a box of parts and confusing instructions.
I was tempted to ask for a refund. But I really liked the design, so I decided to keep it and get a handyman to put it together properly. Good thing I did. The furniture looks nice, and everything went smoothly.
I know it’s not always easy finding a reliable handyman in Glasgow for the odd job, so I’ve done the legwork and put together a list of the best ones you can count on.
How much do handyman services cost in Glasgow?
Most handymen in Glasgow will charge you around £30 per hour for their services. However, your price may vary depending on the type of work involved, the tools required, and your preferred handyman.
1. Glasgow Handyman Services
Services offered: Appliance installation, furniture assembly, plasterboard repairs, television wall mounting, toilet flush repairs, and more
Address: 8 Wyndford Rd
Phone number: +44 141 390 1846
Business hours: Available 24/7
Glasgow Handyman Services has been around since 2004, and with over 20 years of experience, they’ve become one of the most seasoned handyman companies in the city.
They caught my attention because they’re available 24/7 and don’t charge call-out fees. They even provide free estimates, so you can ask for help without committing upfront.
They cover loads of jobs, including appliance installation, furniture assembly, plasterboard repairs, door hinge repairs, and light bulb replacements.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, which can be highly useful if something needs adjusting later.
However, a few people have said their handymen don’t always arrive on time, and it can sometimes be tricky to get a response from them.
All round a great experience
“The Handyman was recommended to me and it was a bit of a lifesaver. I got an answer from someone straight away and got my furniture fixed the same day. Plus the workman was great. All round a great experience especially as the tradespeople I tried to call or message to get hold of before I tried them didn’t bother to get back to me. Very efficient service. took all the rubbish away, Will certainly use this service again”
– Brian McIntyre, Google Reviews
They dealt with the request kindly and efficiently
“Excellent service, professional and friendly people. I had a couple of jobs needing done last minute last week and they dealt with the request kindly and efficiently. I highly recommend their services and have already let my friends and neighbours know about them too.”

2. Handy Ma’am
Services offered: Furniture assembly, television wall mounting, hanging heavy items, fence building, shed building, and more
Business hours:
9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (MON-THURS)
9:00 AM – 2:00 PM (FRI)
If you’re looking for a handywoman to sort out house repairs or small builds, Handy Ma’am is worth a look.
Nicole Meehan runs the business herself and has been working with wood and tools since she was a teenager. These days, she puts that experience into jobs like building storage units and assembling sheds.
One thing I like is her customer satisfaction guarantee. If you spot any issues within three days of the job, she’ll come back and fix them at no extra cost.
She also offers flexible payment plans for jobs under £2,500, which can be split into three instalments through PayPal.
Free quotes are available too, so you can ask without committing.
Sadly, there are some limitations. She’s not available on weekends and wraps up early on Fridays. There’s no official phone number either, so all enquiries need to go through her website.
Had the right tools and skills to get the shelves in place
“I booked Nicole because I’m thrilled to see a lady handy person available. I bought wall-mounted shelves online that I quickly realised I wouldn’t be able to put up without professional help. Claire got a date and quoted back to me quickly. Nicole was on time, polite, tidy and had the right tools and skills to get the shelves in place. Thank you, Handy Ma’am!”

Professional and friendly service, and a really top quality job
“An absolutely fantastic company. Professional and friendly service, and a really top quality job. I have had so many compliments!
No job is too big or too small. I am delighted and will definitely be back!”

3. NJ Home Solutions
Services offered: Furniture assembly, appliance installation, waste disposal, renovation and structural repairs, flooring installation, landscaping, and more
Address: 8 Carna Dr
Phone number: +44 7825 625056
Business hours: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM (MON-SAT)
NJ Home Solutions is the one I’d recommend for those who need more than just basic handyman work. Beyond the usual tasks like furniture assembly and appliance installation, they also handle proper waste disposal.
That includes clearing out old furniture, garden waste, and renovation debris, which makes them especially useful during big clean-ups or move-ins.
They also offer full renovation services, including structural repairs and flooring installations.
Interestingly, they can even carry out landscaping work. They can design outdoor spaces and even install a proper driveway to link your garage to the street, which adds real value to your property.
Just a heads-up, their rates are a bit on the higher side. And since they’re closed on Sundays, it might be tricky to schedule them if you’re juggling a busy week.
Very thorough paint work and attention to detail
“Nick and his team were efficient and worked extra long hours to finish the job. Very thorough paint work and attention to detail. Really efficient and will be using them again.”
– Katie Shepherd, Google Reviews
Responded quickly and completed the tasks brilliantly
“I needed several small jobs completed. Nic responded quickly and completed the tasks brilliantly. Also, he managed to fix flooring, shower and cupboards that I thought would need to be replaced, saving me a lot of money. Excellent communication and turned up on time for every appointment. Highly recommended.”

4. Glasgow Handyman Solutions
Services offered: Mirror hanging, television wall mounting, door repair, light installation, sink replacement, and more
Address: 19 Roffey Park Rd, Paisley PA1 3JL
Phone number: +44 7543 034423
Business hours: Available 24/7
The handyman who helped me assemble my flatpack furniture quickly was from Glasgow Handyman Solutions. I figured they were a solid choice since they’ve been around for over a decade and offer round-the-clock service.
The guy they sent, Steven, was a decent fellow. He gave me a free quote upfront, so we were clear on the price before he got started. He worked quickly and had the whole thing built in about an hour. No fuss, no mess.
The best part was the 12-month guarantee they gave me once the job was done. It’s good to know they stand by their work.
If I had to mention any downsides, it’s that they don’t have an online booking system. Also, unless it’s urgent, I wouldn’t ring them too late, as they charge a £75 fee for emergency call-outs.
The work itself was top quality and completed on time and swiftly
“Requested a quote for having a tv mounted and “catification” shelves mounted on my living room walls, and got an almost immediate response, a really reasonable rate and a flexible appointment time to get the work done. The work itself was top quality and completed on time and swiftly. Really positive experience overall and would recommend to others and definitely hire again myself.”

They arrived on time and completed the job very quickly
“It was a pleasure to have Steven and Dylan in our house. We needed 6 doors shaved and Steven responded very quickly to my initial request and was able to fit the job in when I needed it. They arrived on time and completed the job very quickly and even confirmed one door didn’t need shaved, saving us some money. They were very polite, genuine guys with excellent communication throught the job and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and will definitely use them again.”

5. Stephen Sharp
Services offered: Plumbing, joinery, electrical repairs, safety upgrades, furniture assembly, tech installations, and more
Address: Blanefield Gardens
Phone number: +44 7518 234726
Business hours:
8:00 AM – 6:00 PM (SUN-FRI)
8:00 AM – 3:00 PM (SAT)
Another handyman I recommend is Stephen Sharp. He runs a small outfit based in the West End, and while they’ve only been active since late 2023, they’ve already tackled a solid number of jobs across Glasgow.
Their services cover a wide range of jobs, including plumbing, joinery, and electrical fixes. They also handle safety and security upgrades, so if you need smoke alarms, motion sensors, or CCTV systems installed, they’re a reliable option.
They do small renovation work too, like fitting wardrobes, installing blinds, and patching up shed roofs.
One standout feature is Stephen’s free five-minute phone assistance. If you’re stuck on something minor and just need a bit of advice, he’ll talk you through it without charging.
However, it’s worth noting that they’re often in high demand. That’s probably the reason why some folks have mentioned their appointments being cancelled abruptly.
Each job was done well and quickly but wasn’t rushed
“Big props to Stephen. A super nice guy and skilled – he arrived and sorted so many things in our new house. Baby gate was installed, security cameras put up, TV mounted and door sign was attached. Nothing was too much trouble and each job was done well and quickly but wasn’t rushed. Very happy and would recommend to anyone. Thanks again!”
– Lee Williams, Google Reviews
Everything was done to a high standard
“Had some work carried out today for a few odd jobs around the house and I couldn’t be happier with the end results. Everything was done to a high standard, and they were professional, friendly, and efficient. Definitely someone I’d recommend to anyone needing a reliable handyman!”
