Handyman Services Built Around Moving, Not Just General Repairs
Handyman work at Al Mas isn’t a general callout service for anything that breaks in the house. It exists to solve the small jobs that come up specifically around a move: taking down a wall-mounted TV bracket before moving day, refitting shelves and curtain rods at the new place, tightening a wardrobe door that’s worked loose in transit, or patching small fittings so the old property passes its move-out inspection.
The Jobs That Come Up Most Often Around a Move
Most requests fall into a handful of categories: removing and reinstalling wall-mounted items like TV brackets, mirrors and shelving; drilling and fitting curtain rods, blinds or picture rails at a new address; minor furniture fixes such as a loose hinge or a wobbly drawer runner that surfaced after transport; and general touch-up work needed to hand a rental property back in the condition it was received.
Handyman on Its Own, or Bundled With Your Move
These jobs are booked both ways — as a standalone visit for someone who just needs a shelf refitted, and as part of a larger local or international move where it makes more sense to have the same team handle it in one visit rather than calling someone separately. Our full-scope handyman line, covering more detailed project work, sits under professional handyman services, and it pairs closely with furniture installation for anything involving assembly rather than repair.
What This Service Doesn’t Cover
This is worth being upfront about: larger electrical, plumbing or structural work that needs a licensed specialist sits outside handyman scope. Where a job around a move turns out to need that kind of specialist — say, a wall socket needs to be relocated rather than just a bracket taken down — we’ll say so rather than attempting work that isn’t ours to do.
How a Handyman Visit Gets Scheduled
Most handyman requests are quick enough to slot in around a moving-day schedule rather than needing a separate visit — mounting or removing a handful of wall items usually takes an hour or two, not a full day. For anything larger, like a full room’s worth of shelving and fittings, it gets scheduled as its own block of time so it isn’t rushed between other move-day tasks.
Working Within Building Rules
Drilling into walls in an apartment or a tower unit isn’t always a free-for-all — some buildings restrict drilling hours, and tenants moving out are often expected to patch any holes they made before handover. Checking this before the visit, rather than after, avoids a second trip just to fix something the building management flags.
FAQ Section
Q: Is handyman work only available alongside a move?
A: No. It’s booked as a standalone visit as often as it’s bundled with a local or international relocation.
Q: Do you mount TVs and shelves at the new property?
A: Yes, refitting wall-mounted items like TV brackets, shelving and curtain rods at the new address is one of the most common requests.
Q: Can handyman work fix furniture damaged during a move?
A: Minor fixes like a loose hinge or a drawer runner that’s shifted in transit are covered. More extensive furniture repair or replacement is handled separately.
Q: Do you handle electrical or plumbing work?
A: No — that’s outside the scope of this service. Where a job needs a licensed electrician or plumber, we’ll flag it rather than take it on.
Q: What’s the difference between this and professional handyman services?
A: This page covers the smaller, move-related jobs. Professional handyman services covers more detailed project work — worth checking if your job is larger in scope.
