In short: handyman

A handyman helps with the small jobs around the home: hanging pictures and shelves, fixing a door that sticks or putting up a curtain rail. This guide explains what you can ask for, gives indicative rates for comparison and shows which jobs need a licensed installer. On Workpop you post your job for free – in English if you like.

Frequently asked questions

  • Can a handyman do electrical or plumbing work?
    Electrical installations, gas and plumbing connections generally require a licensed installer; for electrical work the NIV applies. Post small jobs like shelves or pictures on Workpop, and contact a licensed firm for installations.
  • How much does a handyman cost in Switzerland?
    We have not found a reliable price survey for handyman work. For comparison, carpenters charge CHF 80–130 per hour plus travel costs of CHF 50–100 (renovero, September 2026). A private helper sets their own price: agree it before the work starts.
  • Do I have to pay AHV for a handyman?
    If you pay a private person for work in or around your home, in general you are their employer and AHV/IV/EO contributions are due from the first franc. Whether someone is self-employed is decided by the compensation office, case by case. Check with your cantonal AHV compensation office.
