Worth knowing

Worth checking before work starts

A few rules and checks that apply to this kind of work.

  1. Make a list

    Write down every small job, with sizes and photos where they help. A handyman can then say what they can do in one visit.

  2. Who supplies the parts

    Agree who buys the shelves, brackets and fixings, and have them ready if it is you.

  3. Pipes and cables

    Before anything is fixed to a wall, ask how the handyman will check for hidden pipes and cables.
