Handyman and Glasgow homes
Glasgow is a city of red and blond sandstone tenements, from the West End and Southside to Dennistoun, alongside interwar cottage flats, post-war council schemes on the edges of the city and a fair number of high-rise flats.
- Tenement flats usually have high ceilings, so mention it if a job needs a tall ladder (for example lights or curtain poles).
- Fixing into solid stone or old plaster needs the right plugs and drill bits, so mention the wall type for shelves or TV mounting.
- Small jobs such as shelves, curtain poles and flat-pack are typical for anyone settling into a new tenancy or first home.
- Concrete walls need a hammer drill and the right plugs for any fixings.
- In listed properties, ask before fixing anything to original features.
Areas covered include West End, Southside, Merchant City, Dennistoun, Shawlands, Partick, Govan, Springburn, Easterhouse, Knightswood, Pollokshields, Cathcart. Local authority: Glasgow City 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.
