A Growing Market Backed by Demand
The UK home services, encompassing property maintenance and handyman services, was valued at approximately £7.06 billion in 2024, with projections indicating growth to around £13.05 billion by 2031.
Several key trends are fuelling this growth:
Homeowners are outsourcing more: With younger generations less inclined or equipped to carry out DIY, there’s a growing shift toward hiring professional handymen. This is particularly true for those under 35, who prioritise convenience, time-saving, and quality workmanship.
An ageing UK housing stock: Many homes now require regular upkeep, repairs, and improvements — especially as homeowners look to preserve or increase property value in a competitive market.
A rise in homeownership support schemes: Government initiatives like Help to Buy and First Homes have contributed to steady housing market activity, creating new demand for home improvement and maintenance services.
Changing lifestyles and higher standards: Homeowners now expect quicker, more professional service for everything from minor repairs to full refurbishments — and are willing to pay for peace of mind and accountability.
This shift in consumer behaviour, away from DIY and toward “Do It For Me” (DIFM)….makes now an ideal time to enter the home services industry with a trusted, recognisable brand.
