Picture rails, shelving, blinds, TV mounts and kitchen cupboard repairs, fixed securely into old brick walls or modern drywall alike.

Claremont homes range from century-old cottages to modern apartments. These are the handyman jobs we are asked to do most here.
Picture rails, shelving, blinds, TV mounts and kitchen cupboard repairs, fixed securely into old brick walls or modern drywall alike.
Old timber sash and casement windows that rattle or jam, plus panel doors that have dropped on their hinges in Claremont's wet winters.
Cracked lime plaster in older houses and dents in apartment walls repaired neatly so the patch disappears once painted.
Claremont's big oaks and plane trees drop a lot of leaves. We clear gutters and downpipes and repair fascias, gates and boundary walls.
Claremont sits on the wetter, eastern side of Table Mountain, and the Southern Suburbs get some of the heaviest winter rain in Cape Town. Combined with tall trees along streets in Upper Claremont and around Harfield Village, that means blocked gutters, damp patches and timber that swells every winter. Many houses here are old, with original sash windows, wooden floors and plaster that has cracked as the building settled.
Closer to Main Road and Cavendish Square there are many apartments and sectional title complexes. Owners and tenants there tend to need fittings, small repairs and patching between tenancies, usually within body corporate rules about noise and working hours.
Harfield and older Claremont homes have period details worth keeping. We ease and repair sash windows, re-hang panel doors and patch plaster without stripping out original features.
For landlords and tenants we fix loose fittings, replace handles and locks, repair walls after furniture moves and get a unit ready for the next occupant.
We clear leaf-filled gutters, replace damaged downpipes, re-hang gates and repair garden walls, which is worth doing before the first big storms of the season.
Claremont has a busy rental market thanks to its schools, shops and the railway line. If you are a landlord or agent, send us the inspection list and photos and we will quote every item in writing, so the unit can be fixed and back on the market quickly.
Our team also does painting in Claremont, building and renovations in Claremont and fireplace, braai and chimney services.
You get a written quote before any work starts. See our main handyman services Cape Town page for more details.
