Has anyone had any luck with, or does anyone know of any services in the UK that operate like Task Rabbit does in the US?
It sounds super trivial, but I've got some very minor work that needs doing around the house but I've got absolutely no ability with a drill.

I usually just ask someone in the pub who has either had the work done or knows someone else who has. It's usually better to get someone in who you know has done a decent job.
Otherwise, a local Facebook group or Nextdoor should yield decent results.
Careful about hiring friends to do work for you though. Things can get awkward if they turn out to be unprofessional or they cause damage or whatever
Oh crumbs, I wasn't suggesting that. Just that you are better off asking around and finding someone who is recommended rather than just picking a random person.
Ah right. Either way, beware people! I've made this mistake and it somewhat ruined a friendship. I didn't even do the cutting off. The guy sort of bodged a job and then ran off on shame
Yeah, that's not ideal.
