Where can I find a reliable repair person, plumber or household help in Berlin?

For plumbing or dishwasher problems, try Fixwerk. You can also find tradespeople through the Tiptapp app. Şahan Bio Wasserfilter fits home water filters and speaks Turkish.

Fixwerk handles plumbing and dishwasher faults. It once fixed a problem other tradespeople could not solve.

On the Tiptapp app you can post a repair job and find someone to do it.

There are apps such as Helpling for cleaning, but finding a cleaner through people you know is probably safer. If you want to clean your sofa yourself, you can hire an upholstery cleaner from Rossmann or Bauhaus.

Şahan Bio Wasserfilter installs home water filter systems and changes the filters, and they speak Turkish. Feedback is positive, both on new installations and on systems used for years.

For kitchen jobs that need exact measuring, such as fitting a fridge into a cupboard, you can go to Küchen Aktuell.

You can buy materials at DIY stores such as Obi, Hornbach or Bauhaus. To borrow a tool or something else for a short while, ask your neighbours on nebenan.de.
