I have used the site a couple of times for the same reason, and called all of the handymen listed. I managed to get hold of one but his work fell apart a few hours after he left... the rest are ignoring my calls, saying they have retired, or that they don't do carpentry. Another one called me back, made an appointment with me for about 10 days into the future, so I waited, and waited, and he didn't turn up and ignored my calls. His name was Sean. I wouldn't normally name people but I've given him long enough now to reply and I'm pretty jarred off!
Basically I have a large walk in wardrobe which needs a new hanging solution put in there, and some drawers need constructing, and a shoe rack fitted to the wall...
I've been trying to sort this out for about three weeks, there are clothes all over my floor. I'm in a mess.
If it's a handyman you need then I can recommend 0800handyman, reliable and good work but the downside is they're not cheap. They've done awkward things which I wouldn't tackle myself like fitting a catflap into a panelled glass door... and I'd happily use them again when a job exceeds my DiY skills.
