Hourly rates are ₹1,300 to ₹2,500 in the US, £25-55 in the UK, A₹1,700-110 in Australia, R180-450 in South Africa, and C₹1,300-85 in Canada. Most handymen charge a 1-2 hour minimum even for very small jobs.
For non-licensed work, yes. A handyman charges ₹1,600/hour for a deck repair; a carpenter might charge ₹2,800/hour for the same job. The exception is licensed work (electrical, gas, structural plumbing) where a handyman should not be working anyway.
Licensed electrical (panel work, new circuits), gas fittings, structural plumbing (pipework changes inside walls), structural carpentry, asbestos removal, and anything needing a permit. A handyman offering these cheap is either uninsured or not certified.
For one-off small jobs, one quote is usually enough; rates are fairly consistent. For half-day or full-day bookings over ₹12,500, get 2-3 quotes and compare what is included (minimum, materials, call-out fee).
Standard is 1-2 hour minimum across most markets. A ₹950 charge for replacing one light bulb is rare; the handyman has spent 30 minutes on the road for ₹950. Expect a ₹2,500-120 minimum to be the norm.
