**What multi-trade handypeople can do**
A skilled handyperson can handle most small-to-medium maintenance jobs in a single visit — hanging doors, fitting shelves, minor plastering, fixing skirting boards, assembling furniture, and basic tiling. Combining jobs in one visit saves you time and call-out costs.
**When you need a specialist carpenter**
For structural work — loft conversions, stud walls, staircase repairs, fitted kitchen installation — you need a qualified carpenter with insurance that covers structural work. EzeAla's job description AI flags when specialist skills are required and routes accordingly.

Frequently asked questions
Is a handyman the same as a carpenter? +
Not always. A handyman handles general maintenance — fixing doors, assembling furniture, minor plastering. A carpenter specialises in wood joinery — fitted kitchens, staircases, bespoke furniture. EzeAla asks about the job type to match the right skill level.
Can a handyman do plumbing or electrical? +
Some handypeople are multi-trade. However, gas work and notifiable electrical work always require certified tradespeople regardless of the handyman's skills. EzeAla routes these jobs to certified trades automatically.
