Before you hire

Gas work and most electrical work should go to a registered tradesperson, not a general handyman.

Handyman and Dumfries homes

Dumfries, the 'Queen of the South', is built largely of local red sandstone in the centre and Maxwelltown, with post-war council housing in Lochside and Lincluden and newer estates at Heathhall and Locharbriggs. Riverside areas near the Nith have a history of flooding.

Fixing into solid stone or old plaster needs the right plugs and drill bits, so mention the wall type for shelves or TV mounting.
High ceilings and old plaster walls mean the right fixings matter for shelves and curtain poles.
Small jobs such as shelves, curtain poles and flat-pack are typical for anyone settling into a new tenancy or first home.

Areas covered include Town Centre, Maxwelltown, Troqueer, Lochside, Lincluden, Georgetown, Heathhall, Locharbriggs, Summerhill, Larchfield, Calside, Noblehill. Local authority: Dumfries & Galloway Council.

How it works

Tell us the job. Give a short description, your postcode and roughly when.
We pass it to one local tradesperson who covers your area and does that kind of work. We pick one, not five, so your phone won't ring all day.
They contact you to arrange a visit or a quote. You decide whether to go ahead.

To be upfront about what we are: we're an independent quote-request service, not a trade company. We don't vet, insure or guarantee anyone's work, so always get a written quote and check the registrations that apply to your job.

No. It's free for homeowners and tenants. Some tradespeople pay us a small fee for an introduction.

How many people will contact me?

Dumfries (DG1, DG2), including Maxwelltown, Troqueer, Lochside, Lincluden, Georgetown, Heathhall. If we can't find someone suitable, we'll tell you honestly.

Do you check the tradespeople?
