Where a handyman's job ends in NSW

In NSW, residential building work worth more than $5,000 in labour and materials needs a contractor licence for that type of work, and any plumbing, gas or electrical work needs a licence regardless of cost. That covers most of what a handyman does, but a bigger job — a deck, a bathroom refit — may need a licensed tradesperson. In strata, drilling into common property walls may also need approval.

Services the handyman tradies on this page list for Sydney include Household repairs, Wall repairs, General odd jobs, Furniture assembly, Door hardware, Plaster repairs.

Before you hire a handyman in Sydney

  • Send a photo of the whole area and a close-up, with measurements where they matter.
  • List every task in one message — a handyman often prices the visit, not each job.
  • Ask whether the quote includes materials, fixings and the call-out.
  • If a task touches wiring, pipes or gas, use a licensed electrician or plumber instead.

Common questions

Can a handyman do a job over $5,000 in NSW?
Only if they hold a NSW contractor licence that covers that kind of work. Ask for the licence number and check it on Service NSW before agreeing to a larger job.
What jobs can a handyman help with?
Flat-pack assembly, shelves, pictures and curtain rods, door handles and small non-structural repairs. Send a list and photos before booking so they can tell you what they will take on.
Can a handyman mount a TV?
Many do. Tell them the wall type and the TV size, and ask whether brackets are included. Hiding cables inside the wall or adding a power point is electrical work for a licensed electrician.
