There's no shortage of handymen in Aberdeen — the hard part is telling the good ones from the chancers. Aberdeen is dominated by granite — both literally, in the iconic grey stone of the older West End, Rosemount and Ferryhill streets, and architecturally, in the oil-boom era new-builds across the Bridge of Don and Westhill.

We've pulled together the 5 best-reviewed handymen in Aberdeen, plus the prices, checks and questions worth knowing before you book.
