What does a handyman do?

A handyman solves all kinds of tasks around your move. The handyman’s versatility comes in handy for the variety of tasks you may encounter during a move. Besides being an experienced handyman, the handyman is also an experienced mover. Do you have a wardrobe that has been in the room for years that you have no idea how to disassemble?

Don’t panic! Our handymen are highly experienced in dismantling all kinds of furniture, from IKEA to designer. Of course, if you have a complicated piece of furniture, it is always handy to keep the instructions handy or contact us in advance.

What can you use a handyman for?

Disconnecting the washing machine or removing the curtain rail around the house, a handyman, with his knowledge and experience, is the go-to person. Jobs a handyman can solve range from:

(De)assembly work;
Hoisting
Removing windows
Disconnecting/connecting washing machines
Too removing a floor.

A handyman can’t:

Connect gas and electricity (water only at the washing machine)
Drill holes in walls
Do work that the handyman himself reports is too dangerous
Assemble items new out of the box that he has not disassembled himself

(De)assembly work

IKEA’s PAX wardrobes are usually the models we encounter the most, both with and without sliding doors, our handymen can dream the wardrobes. How fast the disassembly/assembly is depends on the amount of doors.

If you have the wardrobes anchored to the walls we can unscrew them for you, but because we are not authorized to drill holes; we unfortunately cannot anchor the wardrobes to the walls in the new home, so you have to do this yourself. This also applies to holes that need to be drilled for mounting TVs and lamps.

Tip from our moving expert Raoul: you can disassemble a box spring yourself in two simple clicks. This saves you time and money because you don’t have to hire a handyman! So think carefully beforehand if a handyman is really necessary.

Hoisting

Hoisting is a moving technique mainly used in old cities such as Amsterdam. This involves the use of a rope and pulley. We hang the pulley (Block) on the hook located at the top of the building, then we lower the side of the rope without the hook. We attach the hook inside the house to the straps we tied around the furniture. By pulling on the rope below, this allows us to safely hoist the furniture out of the house.

Removing windows

Sometimes, before the move, the windows of your home must be removed if we are going to use the moving elevator, for example. Within Amsterdam, this mainly involves upward-sliding windows that work with counterweights or springs. These can both be removed and replaced quickly and easily by our handyman.

(Dis)connecting washing machines

Naturally, our handymen will effortlessly connect and disconnect your washing machine. Because we have to be near the water supply, there are some conditions attached to this. (link to conditions) These conditions can be found in our general conditions.

Removing a floor

For clearances, the handyman can also loosen your floor, provided it is not glued. This applies to:

Parquet / laminate
Sail
Carpet

How much does a handyman cost?
