Hire a Full-Day Handyman in London
One vetted pro, a full day at your place, one flat day rate. Hand over your list — blinds, shelves, mirrors, flat-pack, smoke alarms — and get the whole lot done in a single visit, with next-day slots often available.
Some jobs are not one job — they are a list. A full-day booking gives you one vetted handyman, a full toolkit, and up to 8 hours of straight-through work at a flat day rate agreed before you book. It is the booking people make when they move in, move out, or finally clear the list that has been growing all year.

How the full-day rate works
A full-day handyman in London costs £350–£400 through Jack All Trades — one flat rate confirmed in the app before you book, not an hourly meter running while you watch.
London handymen typically charge £45–£85 per hour, often with a call-out fee or a first-hour premium on top. Book ten small jobs separately and you pay that premium ten times. A day rate flips the maths: your pro works straight through the list from the first job to the last, and the price does not move while they do.
Where you land in the £350–£400 range depends on the pro who takes the job, the day of the week, and where in London you are — your exact rate is confirmed in the app before you commit to anything. Materials are the only thing on top: most people have their blinds, shelves, and fixings ready to go, or your pro can collect what is needed and bill it at cost.
How it works
Step 1
Tell JACK your list
Type or dictate your job list in the app and add a few photos. Walls, fixings, and access details help your pro arrive with the right bits — it takes about two minutes.
Step 2
Confirm your day rate and pick the day
See your flat day rate before you book and choose a day that suits you — next-day slots are often available, weekends included.
Step 3
One pro works through the lot
A vetted handyman arrives with a full toolkit and works down your list in the order you set. You check it off together before they leave.
What fits into one full day
A full day is roughly eight hours of tool time — enough to clear the kind of list that would otherwise eat your weekends for a month. A typical day looks like this:
- Hang blinds and curtain poles in every room
- Put up shelves and secure them to the right fixings
- Hang mirrors, pictures, and a heavy headboard
- Fit smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors
- Assemble flat-pack furniture — wardrobes, beds, desks
- Mount the TV and hide the cables
- Adjust doors that stick and handles that rattle
- Re-seal around the bath or kitchen sink
- Fill, sand, and touch up holes left in walls
- Swap light fittings, bulbs, and toilet seats
Your list will look different — that is the point. Put everything on it, in priority order, and your pro works down it for the full day.
Perfect for moving in — or moving out
A move is the one time almost every home suddenly has a full day of handyman work. One booking on either side of moving day takes the whole pile off your plate.
Moving in
- Blinds and curtain poles up before your first night
- Wardrobes, beds, and flat-pack built in the right rooms
- Mirrors and pictures hung, TV on the wall
- Smoke and CO alarms fitted where they should be
- Shelves up and the boxes finally emptied
Moving out
- Wall holes filled, sanded, and touched up
- Doors, handles, and hinges working like they did at check-in
- Blinds taken down and fittings made good
- Sealant refreshed and small snags from the inventory fixed
- The check-out report handled in one visit — not ten trips
Booking for the day after your move? Do it before the van is unloaded — next-day slots go quickly, and a Friday pro-and-toolkit is the best unpacking help you will ever hire.
What's included in a full-day booking
The flat rate covers the pro, the toolkit, and the whole working day — with everything agreed in the app before anyone rings your doorbell.
- A vetted, insured handyman with a full toolkit, on site for up to 8 hours
- Every job on your list tackled in the order you set — you decide what matters most
- No call-out fee, no first-hour premium, no overtime surprises — anything beyond the day is agreed in the app first
- In-app chat with your pro before and during the visit, with photos and updates in one thread
- A walkthrough at the end of the day so you can check off the list together
How to get the most from your day
A full-day booking rewards five minutes of preparation. The clients who get 15 jobs done instead of 10 all do the same things:
- Write your list in priority order — if the must-dos finish early, your pro keeps going down the nice-to-haves.
- Have materials and fixings ready: blinds out of their boxes, shelves by the wall they are going on, alarms with batteries in the packet.
- Group jobs by room so tools and dust sheets move once, not ten times.
- Share photos in the app beforehand — a picture of the wall tells your pro whether to bring masonry or plasterboard fixings.
- Mention parking and access when you book. Free parking near the door means more of the day spent on tools, not meters.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a full-day handyman cost in London?
£350–£400 for a full day through Jack All Trades, confirmed as one flat rate in the app before you book. That compares with typical London hourly rates of £45–£85 plus call-out fees, and market day rates that run up to £650.
How many hours is a full day?
Up to 8 hours on site, typically 9am to 5pm. You agree the start time when you book, and early starts are often available.
What can a handyman get done in a full day?
A typical day clears a whole moving-in list: blinds and curtain poles in every room, several shelves, mirrors and pictures hung, smoke alarms fitted, flat-pack built, a TV mounted, and a handful of small fixes on top. Write the list in priority order and your pro works down it.
Do I need to supply materials?
Ideally, yes — have your blinds, shelves, and fixings ready and the whole day goes on labour. If something is missing, your pro can collect it and bill materials at cost.
How quickly can I book a full day?
Often next-day, seven days a week. Book in the app today and a vetted local pro can be working through your list tomorrow morning.
Is a day rate cheaper than paying a handyman by the hour?
For a list of jobs, almost always. London handymen commonly charge £45–£85 per hour with a call-out fee or first-hour premium per visit, and market day rates run anywhere from £280 to £650. At £350–£400 for up to 8 hours, the flat day rate works out at roughly £45–£50 per hour with no call-out fees and no per-job premiums — and one visit instead of five.
I'm moving in — what should I put on the list?
The jobs that make a new place feel like home on day one: blinds and curtain poles up, wardrobes and beds built, mirrors and the TV on the wall, smoke and CO alarms fitted, and shelves up so the boxes can finally be emptied. Add photos of each wall in the app so your pro brings the right fixings for your walls.
I'm moving out — can a full-day handyman help with my deposit?
Yes — this is one of the most common full-day bookings. Filling and touching up wall holes, fixing sticking doors and loose handles, refreshing sealant, and clearing the small snags on the inventory report are exactly the deductions landlords and agents itemise. One day of making-good usually costs far less than what gets held back.
What if my list doesn't fill the whole day?
Keep going — the day is yours. Add a nice-to-have section to your list and your pro works down it until the time is used. Most people find the house produces jobs faster than the list empties.
What if the work needs more than one day?
Your pro flags it early, not at 4pm. If the list is clearly bigger than a day, you agree a second day or a follow-up visit in the app before any extra cost exists. Nothing beyond the flat day rate happens without your say-so.
Can the handyman do small plumbing and electrical jobs?
Minor jobs, yes — swapping a toilet seat, changing a light fitting like-for-like, bleeding radiators, re-sealing a bath. Anything that needs certification, like fuse board work or new circuits, gets routed to a vetted electrician or plumber on Jack All Trades instead, so it is done properly and documented.
Do I need to be home all day?
No. Most clients do a ten-minute walkthrough at the start, stay reachable in the app chat, and come back for the check-off at the end. If you would rather stay in, that works too — good pros are easy houseguests.
