WHEN A HANDYMAN IS NOT ENOUGH
Some home repairs need a specialist.
A handyman is useful for many household repairs, but electrical, plumbing, waterproofing and structural work may need the appropriate specialist rather than a general maintenance solution.
Electrical work
Wiring faults, DB work and other electrical requirements should be handled by the appropriate electrical trade.
Plumbing problems
Concealed leaks, drainage problems and more involved plumbing repairs may require a plumber.
Waterproofing
Persistent leaks and damp problems often need the source of the water to be identified before repairs are carried out.
Structural work
Structural alterations or concerns may require suitable building or professional input before work proceeds.
COMMON JOBS AROUND THE HOME
Practical maintenance checks for your Durban home.
Doors & handles
Tell us which doors stick, which handles are loose and whether the problem changes after wet weather. Include photographs of damaged hinges or fittings.
Hanging & mounting
For wall-mounted shelves and fittings, tell us the wall type if known, the item dimensions and whether any existing fixing points have come loose.
Small repairs
Include rusted exterior fittings, weathered timber and recurring damp marks in your list. We first establish whether a repair or specialist assessment is needed.
Touch-up work
Show us peeling paint and damaged finishes, and note any ongoing moisture problem. Repainting alone may not deal with the underlying cause.
HOMEOWNER QUESTIONS
Common questions about handyman and maintenance work.
Can I send one list with several jobs?
Yes. A combined list is usually the easiest way to show us what needs attention around the property.
Do I need to know which trade I need?
No. Describe the problem and we can determine whether it is normal handyman work or needs a specialist.
Should I send photographs?
Yes where practical. Photographs can help us understand the problem and the likely work involved.
What if the job turns out to be bigger?
If additional work becomes necessary, it should be identified and discussed rather than simply added to the original job.
