These 5 handyman pros in Belfast NAILED IT for us (literally)!
How many times have you ‘fixed’ a leaky tap and just made it 10 times worse? For us, too many. We even thought we could hang a shelf using nothing but determination and elbow grease. But everything came crashing down, and our parents begged us to stop.
But we love improving our home! My sisters and I have likely watched every repair video there is, trying to fix things on our own. But we fail every time. So eventually, we, the DIY daredevils, found proper handymen who actually know what they’re doing.
Whether you need the best fix-it pros for small repairs or renovations, we’ve rounded up the best handymen options in Belfast who can get the job done with ease.
How much do handyman services cost in Belfast?
Handyman services in Belfast will set you back £25 to £50 per hour (some with a minimum call-out fee of around £40 to £60).
This depends on the task complexity, the handyman’s experience, and the materials used.
1. Small Job Stevie
Address: Unit 27, East Belfast Enterprise Park, Albertbridge Road Workshops
Phone: +44 7795 112312
Business hours:
- Mon-Thu: 9:00am to 6:00pm
- Fri: 9:00am to 4:00pm
- Sat-Sun: Closed
Small Job Stevie is one of our go-to handymen in Belfast. He’s just one guy, but we like that he’s known for minor home repairs with quick fixes and odd jobs that many tradespeople don’t take.
Some of his previous projects include hanging curtain rails and shelves, assembling flat-pack furniture, fixing electrical wires, doing minor plumbing tasks, mounting TVs on walls, and adjusting doors.
We also love that this handyman offers services on the same day! For us, this makes Stevie a great option for emergencies. He also states his fees upfront to leave no room for confusion about this later.
Still, this repairman might not be suitable for large renovations since it’s a one-man crew. So, we feel it’s best to remember that before giving him a call. And since Stevie works alone, there are times when it can be harder to reach him.
Unmatched Services
“AMAZING JOB! I cannot thank you enough Stevie for helping me with this, whether this was a small job for you it was a high job for me to finally get this done!! Service is unmatched and truly was such a nice experience. Can’t wait for the DIY school Stevie! Will be the first in line :)”

Would Definitely Recommend
“If you need help putting the finishing touches to your home, Stevie is the person you need in your phone book. I have used him on loads of occasions for different things, door replacements, hanging curtain rails, replacement light switches, dado rails…you name it. Very happy to leave him to it without me being there which is also makes life so much easier. Would definitely recommend!”

2. philhandyman
Address: 3 Castlecoole Park
Phone: +44 7946 685973
Business hours:
- Mon-Sun: 8:00am to 6:00pm
Philhandyman is among our best picks for a flexible repairman who can work on almost anything from electrical issues to garden upkeep.
It has over 15 years of experience in property maintenance, so we figure its handymen can handle most residential and commercial tasks.
Some of this company’s most notable tasks are light installations, plumbing and leak fixes, painting and decorating, and other outdoor jobs.
A client we talked to also commended how this company can deal with multiple tasks in one visit, making the call-outs more convenient and efficient.
Do note that this option requires advanced bookings, especially during busier times. For us, this means its handymen might be unable to take same-day or last-minute requests.
Also, the rates here seem higher for weekend work, so we suggest keeping that in mind if you want to save more.
Would Certainly Recommend
“Over the past few years, I’ve had Phill out to the house 3 times. He has put up a very heavy mirror for me, put together a kitchen breakfast bar, and installed shelves he has been here when he said he would be carried out the work really well and left the area clean and tidy. I’d certainly recommend him”
-Ms. Donna Michelle, Google Review
Very Prompt
“Leak under sink. Phil came out within the hour and promptly fixed the the problem
Would highly recommend . Not hard to pay either”

3. Andyman Flatpacks
Address: 68 Rosebery Rd
Phone: +44 7588 029029
Business hours:
- Mon & Thu: 8:00am to 8:00pm
- Tue & Wed: 8:00am to 6:30pm
- Fri: 8:00am to 5:00pm
- Sat: 8:00am to 2:00pm
- Sun: Closed
Are you one of those who easily get confused with assembling furniture? We reckon Andyman Flatpacks can help you figure out complex furniture instructions that many just give up on.
This Belfast handyman company seems useful for solving flat-pack (ready-to-assemble or RTA) furniture issues. We especially appreciate their assistance with IKEA wardrobes, office desks, and the like.
You may call the team for mounting mirrors, shelves, and TVs as well. We also noticed that these repairmen are capable of many light DIY jobs, including setting up new homes.
In addition, we think its handymen are valuable for movers who need to disassemble and reassemble tons of furniture. They typically bring all the tools, so there’s less stress for everybody.
On top of that, we’re stoked that the handymen can accept requests at the last minute. In our view, this makes them handy if you get frantic about not getting furniture assembled on time.
But before making a call, note that this company doesn’t provide electrical or plumbing services. We recommend double-checking these first before contacting the handymen.
Prompt, Fair & Great
“Andy was fantastic. Very prompt response, fair price and did a great job on some large pieces of furniture. Throughly recommended.”

4. Drakes Landscaping & Handyman Services
Address: Moyle Walk
Phone: +44 7707 321794, [email protected]
Business hours:
- Mon-Sun: 8:00am to 8:00pm
Drakes is a Belfast-based business that can provide both handyman and landscaping services. For us, this makes this company useful for many outdoor repair tasks, though it’s suitable for indoor work too.
Apart from general home maintenance and basic carpentry, we dig that you can ask for garden makeovers, paint jobs, and lawn care, as well as decking, pressure washing, and so on.
It’s easy for us to see why this option is a one-stop shop for many. One former client told us about the handymen’s efficiency too—they work pretty swiftly!
We also find its seasonal garden packages an amazing option if you want to save more during the holidays.
Nonetheless, it’s worth noting that this company is harder to reach during summer months—its peak season!
Top Work
“Just moved in, but putting up heavy powered blinds and long curtain poles was too much for a tired and ill-tempered old man to manage on his own. Stephen found time in his busy schedule to help out and – with some high-precision measuring, levelling, drilling and fixing – this complicated installation was done perfectly. Top work! Thanks again.”
-Mr. Paul McMichael, Google Review

5. ACD Joinery & Building Improvements
Address: 18 Wynard Park
Phone: +44 7813 097788, [email protected]
Business hours:
- Mon-Fri: 7:00am – 9:00pm
- Sat-Sun: 8:00am – 6:00pm
Need help with woodworking? ACD Joinery & Building Improvements is among our favourites for joinery and general handyman needs in Belfast. We reckon this is suitable if you need either small or big fixes or upgrades.
Notable works include custom joinery for doors, flooring, and shelves, as well as kitchen fitting and renovations, and other indoor carpentry concerns.
Another thing we’re impressed with is the men’s cleanliness! A client we talked to praised the repairmen’s clean and accurate finishes, leaving him with little work to do afterwards.
Just one thing, though. This company provides specialised services, so we think its handymen might not take on other basic DIY jobs.
This is why we recommend calling or emailing the team first and sharing all your repair concerns to avoid any hassle later.
Very Happy
“Chris came out to fix a gate and fence for me following some storm damage. Gave the best price out of few quotations I received. Explained all the work he was going to do. Very happy with the quality of his work and showed up on time and ready to go. Would recommend and use him again.”
-Mr. Matthew Cahalan, Google Review
Quick & Skilled
“Really great work, fixed stairs that had started to come apart, tenant was happy with the repairs and a quick repair job. A busy company, testament to their demand of their skills. Many thanks!”
