What's the average cost of hiring a handyman?

Depending on the job complexity and skill required, plus location, you’ll see a big difference in what a handyman charges. On average, you can expect to pay R350 - R750 for one hour of work, R750 - R1200 for two hours of work, or R750 - R1500 for three hours of work.

If you book a single trade handyman service like a painter or a carpenter, you can expect to pay R750 for a full day, or as much as R3000 a day for that ‘extra mile’ kind of guy. While R3000 seems like a lot, you’re also likely to get four times more work done. Our advice: get an itemised quote and expect to pay by the hour.

How can I keep the jobs of my handyman and my costs down?

  1. Do an annual home maintenance assessment and prioritise what gets done.
  2. Do some of the preparation work yourself before you post a job.
  3. Ask your handyman for a full list of materials and agree who will buy what materials before the job starts.
  4. Book your handyman services for more than one task at a time, to avoid paying for an hour if the handyman does one job in less.
