How much does a handyman cost in Dubai per hour or per day?

A handyman in Dubai typically charges AED 80–AED 150 per hour, with most companies having a minimum charge of 2–3 hours. For a half-day job (4 hours) covering TV mounting, door repairs, and furniture assembly, expect to pay AED 350–AED 600 all-in including materials for minor items. Pay by the job rather than hourly where possible — it aligns the handyman's incentive with completing the work efficiently. For TV mounting specifically: check your wall type first. Concrete walls are fine for any TV size. Gypsum walls can hold a TV up to around 50kg if proper cavity anchors are used, but a 65-inch+ TV on a thin gypsum wall requires a specialist who knows what they're doing. Always ask about experience with your specific wall type before booking.
