Hourly Rates
Project Costs
Indicative 2026 rates for Colombo and the suburbs, based on Snapwerks quotes and published Sri Lankan market data. Outstation districts usually run 10-20% lower on labour. Expect the top of each range during the Avurudu rush in March and April and at the start of the monsoon. Always get the scope and the price in writing before work starts.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How much does a handyman charge per hour in Sri Lanka?
Around Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,500 for the call-out and first hour, then Rs 1,200 to Rs 2,200 per additional hour. A half day is Rs 4,000 to Rs 7,000 and a full day Rs 5,000 to Rs 9,000. Rates are for Colombo and the suburbs.
2. Is it cheaper to book several small jobs together?
Substantially. The call-out is the fixed cost, so a visit that handles six small jobs costs far less than six separate visits. Write the full list when you post the job so the handyman can bring the right tools and materials once.
3. What jobs should not go to a handyman?
Work at the main distribution board, new circuits, gas connections, structural alterations and roof work at height should go to the licensed or specialist trade. A handyman is the right choice for fittings, fixings, adjustments, sealing and small repairs.
4. Does the handyman supply materials?
Usually only small consumables such as screws, plugs, silicone and grout. Larger items like curtain rails, locks, taps and light fittings are normally bought by the homeowner or billed on top. Agree this before the visit so the price does not move.
5. How much to mount a TV on the wall?
Mounting a TV or heavy shelf costs about Rs 2,500 to Rs 7,500 per item, depending on wall type and whether the bracket is supplied. A solid concrete or brick wall is straightforward; a hollow partition needs proper fixings and takes longer.
