WHO WE ARE
A South African business focused on work around the home.
Dial-a-Contractor is focused on private homeowners who need building work, renovations, extensions, home improvements, repairs and maintenance.
Some jobs need one trade. Others involve builders, plumbers, electricians, tilers, painters, waterproofers, carpenters and other specialists. Our job is to deal with the work and bring in the appropriate people where required.
02 · BUILDING
Building & alterations
Home extensions, additions, alterations and other residential building work.
03 · RENOVATIONS
Renovations & improvements
Whole-home renovations, kitchens, bathrooms, interior changes and other improvement work.
04 · REPAIRS
Repairs & maintenance
Plumbing, electrical, roofing, waterproofing, painting, handyman work and other repairs around the home.
HOW WE WORK
Tell us what you need done. We organise the work required.
You do not need to decide whether you need a builder, plumber, electrician, painter or several different trades before contacting us. Start by telling us what you want done and we can establish what the job requires.
01 · TELL US
Describe the work
Tell us what you want built, renovated, repaired or improved and send photographs, plans or other information where available.
02 · ASSESS
Establish what is involved
We consider the work required and identify the building work, repairs and specialist trades that may be needed.
03 · DO THE WORK
Organise the appropriate people
The work is carried out using our own resources and appropriate specialist subcontractors where required for the job.
04 · COMPLETE
Work through completion
The agreed work is carried through and outstanding agreed items dealt with before the job is treated as complete.
ONE PLACE TO START
You should not have to find a different contractor for every part of the job.
Residential work often crosses several trades. A bathroom may involve plumbing, waterproofing, tiling and electrical work. An extension may require building, roofing, plumbing, electrical work and finishes. Dial-a-Contractor can bring those different requirements together.
Builders
General building, alterations, brickwork, plastering and other residential construction work.
Specialist trades
Plumbing, electrical, roofing, waterproofing and other specialist work brought into the job where required.
Finishing trades
Tiling, painting, carpentry, ceilings and other finishes needed to complete the work.
General home repairs
Handyman work and smaller maintenance items can also be dealt with without the job needing to become a major renovation.
FROM SMALL REPAIRS TO LARGER PROJECTS
The work does not have to be complicated before you contact us.
Some homeowners come to us for substantial renovations or home extensions. Others simply need a leaking roof repaired, a bathroom renovated or a list of maintenance jobs sorted out.
Larger building projects
New residential building work, extensions and substantial alterations.
Renovations
Whole-home, multi-room, kitchen and bathroom renovation work.
Home improvements
Improve existing rooms and areas without necessarily undertaking a complete renovation.
Repairs & maintenance
Deal with everyday repairs, maintenance and specialist trade work around the property.
WHAT WE ARE NOT
Dial-a-Contractor is no longer simply a three-quote referral service.
The business started with a contractor-referral model many years ago. Today the focus is on helping homeowners get the actual residential work done rather than simply passing on names and leaving the homeowner to organise everything from there.
Not just a contractor directory
The aim is not simply to provide a list of contractors and leave you to work out what happens next.
Not only for large projects
Dial-a-Contractor also handles everyday residential repair and maintenance work.
Focused on homeowners
The Dial-a-Contractor website and service offering are aimed at private residential customers and work around the home.
WHY THIS APPROACH HELPS
Start with the job, not with trying to work out every trade yourself.
Homeowners often know the result they want without knowing every trade involved. That is fine. Tell us what needs to be done and we can establish the practical work required.
Simpler starting point
Start by explaining the problem or improvement you want rather than deciding which contractor category to contact.
Several trades where needed
Jobs involving more than one skill can be dealt with without the homeowner arranging each trade separately.
Smaller work still matters
Repairs and maintenance do not need to become major projects before they are worth dealing with.
One residential focus
The service remains centred on private homes and the practical work homeowners need around their properties.
