Pavers and plumbers the most searched for home professionals in the UK

New research reveals the most in demand handyman based on online searches

Whether it’s a dripping tap, a broken lock, or a garden in need of paving, Britons are heading to Google in search of professional help. Some household repairs remain tricky and often require immediate attention. A new study by Plasticsheetsshop reveals which handyman are most in demand online, based on average monthly search volumes across the UK.

Pavers take the lead

Topping the list are pavers, with an average of 135,000 Google searches per month. This is not surprising, as well-laid paving is essential for both gardens and driveways as homeowners look to improve outdoor spaces. Plumbers follow with 74,000 searches, likely driven by the urgent nature of leaks and blockages issues that can quickly get worse. Wondering which occupations are in the rest of the top 5? We have listed them for you below:

  1. Paver
  2. Plumber
  3. Locksmith
  4. Electrician
  5. Carpenter

Regional demand highlights local needs
The research shows strong regional differences in demand for handymen. In coastal and rural towns such as Bexhill on Sea and Hambledon, searches for pavers are particularly high, likely due to the popularity of garden and driveway projects. Medium-sized towns like Melksham and Bridlington show increased interest in locksmiths, possibly reflecting security concerns in residential areas. Greener regions, including Royal Tunbridge Wells and Great Bookham, see more searches for gardeners, as larger outdoor spaces require regular upkeep. Roofers are especially in demand in places like Carlisle  where weather conditions may lead to more roof damage.

When time is of the essence

Search terms like “plumber near me” and “locksmith near me” are typed into Google over 110,000 times a month. These high numbers point to the urgent need for services that solve immediate household problems. In contrast, trades like paving and bricklaying are typically booked in advance, with lower “near me” search volumes.
