Get handyman help online
HelpingHands connects you with an experienced handyman over a live 10, 20, or 30-minute video call. Point your phone at the problem and a helper talks you through the fix in real time — from a dripping tap to a wobbly shelf to a piece of flat-pack furniture that refuses to cooperate.
What a handyman helper can do over video
Diagnose a problem you can show on camera, walk you through a repair step by step, tell you which tool or part you need, and sanity-check your plan before you start. Common jobs: bleeding a radiator, resetting a tripped fuse, assembling flat-pack furniture, fixing a running toilet, mounting a shelf or TV bracket, and figuring out whether a job is safe to do yourself or worth calling a professional for.
When online handyman help is the right call
When the job is small, you would rather do it yourself, and you just need someone who knows what they are doing to guide you. It is faster and cheaper than booking a call-out, and you learn how to do it next time.
How pricing works
You book a session by length — 10, 20, or 30 minutes — and the price is shown before you confirm. You only pay for the time you need.

Frequently asked questions
- Can a handyman really help me over a video call?
- Yes — for anything that can be shown on camera and talked through. Helpers guide you through the fix in real time. For jobs that legally require a certified professional on-site (like gas work), a helper will tell you.
- Does HelpingHands send someone to my house?
- No. HelpingHands is video-only. Helpers guide you during a live video call; you do the hands-on part yourself.
- How long are the calls?
- Calls come in 10, 20, or 30-minute sessions. You choose the length when you book.
