How much does a handyman cost in the Netherlands?
Real starting rates by trade, so you can tell a fair quote from an overpriced one.
Rates vary by trade and by the klusser you choose, but every category on Klussen Fixer has a published starting all-in hourly rate — the floor, not the average, since more complex jobs and specialist trades naturally cost more.
| Trade | Starting rate /hr |
|---|---|
| IT & Electronics | €39,50 |
| Repair & Cleaning | €42,00 |
| Painting | €45,50 |
| Carpentry & Maintenance | €45,50 |
| Flooring | €45,50 |
| Insulation | €45,50 |
| Gardening | €45,50 |
| B2B & Business | €48,00 |
| Plastering | €46,50 |
| Roofing | €49,50 |
| Glazing | €49,50 |
| Bathroom & Kitchen | €50,00 |
| Electrician | €52,50 |
| Plumber | €55,00 |
| Moving | €65,00 |
Why comparing quotes actually changes the price you pay
Because each klusser is an independent business setting their own price, two quotes for the exact same bathroom regrouting job can genuinely differ by €20–€40/hour depending on how busy that person is that month. That's the whole reason to post one job and let multiple klussers quote, rather than calling the first number you find.
What makes a quote worth paying more for
- A valid KvK registration and AVB insurance — non-negotiable, not a premium feature.
- A clear written quote stating whether the price is fixed, hourly, or an estimate, before work starts.
- Reviews from previous clients on the same type of job.
