About the Guild of Handymen:
We set standards for professionals so you can have more confidence in the handyman you employ.
Background
A handyman is the 'trade' equivalent of a GP doctor.
So where bricklayers only lay bricks, customers expect a handyman to be competent, knowledgable and proficient in a wide variety of skills.
But handymen are unregulated so how can you find a handyman you can trust to do a good job?
..the answer is the Guild
You can rely on a Guild Handyman because:
1) each Guild Handyman has passed our online competency exam designed to confirm versatility and experience.
2) A Guild Handyman must certify having public liability insurance cover.
3) A Guild Handyman must abide by our code of conduct.
4) A Guild Handyman is only accepted with independently verified public reviews that confirm his abilities.
...so using a UK Guild of Handymen member is as good as a 'word of mouth' recommendation.
And remember to tell your handyman you found him on this website!
But isn't there already a guild?
There is already a guild for master craftsmen but they cater for everyone from 'adhesive manufacturers' to 'workwear hire companies' and consequently appeal more on a business to business level.
Since a handyman will span many 'crafts' and is more likely to be engaged by the public than a business, he is not well-suited to the guild for master craftsmen which is probably why only a couple of dozen handymen have registered as 'master craftsmen' out of the thousands who trade nationally.
The UK Guild of Handymen is only for the professional handyman.
WE ARE THE GUILD OF THE MULTI-SKILLED.
Please note: We use the terms 'handyman' and 'handymen' to cover individuals from both sexes.
