Pricing & Estimates Questions
How much does a handyman in York cost?
Unlike traditional tradespeople who charge unpredictable, slow hourly rates, FiXXED Property Maintenance operates entirely on an upfront fixed-price basis. This means we assess your job, give you a total price before we start, and that is exactly what you pay. There are no hidden fees, travel charges, or surprise hourly bills.
How can I get a quick quote for my repair list?
The fastest way to get a fixed-price estimate is to send us a photo of the job via WhatsApp. Seeing the project allows us to calculate your materials and labor accurately, meaning we can send over a firm, guaranteed quote within a couple of hours. Alternatively, you can call us on 07455635711.
Do you have a minimum charge for call-outs?
Yes, we have a small minimum charge of £45 to cover our travel and vehicle costs across the York area. However, we always recommend that clients bunch their smaller “odd jobs” together (such as hanging a mirror, fixing a dripping tap, and changing a light bulb) during a single visit to get the absolute best value out of our call-out.
On-the-Job Questions
Do you supply the materials, or do I need to buy them?
Will you clean up after the job is finished?
Yes, always. One of our core business pillars is leaving your home or commercial workspace completely immaculate. We treat your property with total respect, clear up all dust or packaging created during installations, and leave your space spotless before we leave.
Commercial & Landlord Questions
Do you provide PAT testing and landlord safety certificates?
Yes, we provide certified PAT testing in York for local businesses, letting agents, HMO landlords, and holiday let owners. Once we inspect and test your portable appliances, we issue an official compliance certificate PDF for your legal and insurance records. Find out more about our PAT testing service here.
Can you work outside of standard business hours for commercial properties?
We understand that commercial maintenance can cause disruption to retail shops or office environments. For our B2B and commercial clients in York, we can arrange to handle your repairs, desk assemblies, or painting projects early in the morning or outside your core hours to keep your business running smoothly.
