Job: change front door lockThe price of the lock can range from £20 to £60 or higher depending on the security level. Job: gloss woodworkMost traders told us that they would apply an undercoat before glossing. This would give a better finish, but would take extra time. Most electrical jobs need to be carried out by a Part P-registered electrician, or inspected by your local building control department to ensure that they meet the regulations. But, some minor jobs, such as replacing light fittings, sockets or switches or adding new ones on an existing circuit (provided they aren't outdoors or in rooms where water is present, such as a kitchen or bathroom) can be done by anyone with the necessary skills and don’t need certification.

For small, simple jobs like these it might be cheaper to employ a skilled handyman than a qualified electrician, who might have a call-out charge and a higher hourly rate. In July 2012, we sent a survey to all Which? Local traders in the Home maintenance and handyman category with a rating of three stars or more and an email address. 25 traders responded to the survey. Using their experience and expertise, they answered questions about the cost of handyman jobs, and how long they should take to complete. Read more about the methodology Job: replace a single socket with standard white double socket If the socket is flush to the wall then the trader might need to spend extra time ‘making good’ any damage to the wall. A surface mounted socket is quicker and easier to do. Job: affix curtain pole and hang curtainsUnfortunately things don’t always go to plan. Occasionally plaster can crumble or fall off and will need repairing, which could take longer. Job: paint roomMost traders told us that they would apply two coats, so hours may be spread across two visits to allow time for the first coat to dry.

Job: build bookshelves in sitting room If you can find a good handyman with the skills to do this job it will probably be cheaper than getting a qualified carpenter. When we asked carpenters to quote for the same job they were considerably more expensive. If shelves are very wide they will probably need supports in the middle to stop them from sagging.
