More than a handyman – we’re neighbours
Third‑generation craft, modern convenience. Based in Manchester, we’ve been fixing, building, and caring for local homes since 2012.
A family tradition of fixing things properly
"My grandad was a joiner in Salford, my dad a plumber. I grew up holding the torch and fetching the right spanner. When I started GB Handyman, I wanted to bring that same honest workmanship to every home – but with online booking, fair pricing, and a guarantee."
Today we're a team of 15 multi‑skilled tradespeople, all local, all vetted, and all obsessed with leaving customers 100% happy.

The GB promise: quality, transparency, respect
We don't just fix things – we build relationships. Every job, big or small, comes with:
- Fixed prices – you'll know the cost before we start, no surprises.
- 1‑year guarantee on all labour and parts.
- Tidy workers – we clean up, vacuum, and respect your space.
- Eco‑conscious – we recycle materials and offer green options.
