Handyman FAQs
The questions East Rand homeowners ask us most.
Is there a job that's too small?
No. Hanging a mirror, fixing a dripping tap or replacing a door handle are all standard callouts. Our R450 minimum includes the first hour of labour.
How much does a handyman cost in the East Rand?
Small jobs start at a R450 minimum callout, which covers the first hour. After that it's R150 per additional hour for small jobs. Larger crews and projects get a flat quote on request.
Do you do minor electrical and plumbing work?
Yes. We handle light fixtures, fans, switches, outlets, taps, toilets, shut-off valves and leak repairs. For anything requiring a certificate of compliance (COC), such as a full rewire or geyser replacement, we'll tell you upfront and bring in a certified trade partner.
Can you do several jobs in one visit?
That's our specialty. Most customers hand us a full punch list. We group the work by trade and complete as much as possible in a single visit.
Do I need to supply the materials?
You can either supply your own fixtures and fittings, or we can source them for you and add them to the quote at cost.
Which areas do you service?
We work across Brakpan, Springs, Nigel, Boksburg, Benoni and surrounding East Rand areas.
