These are the handyman jobs Plumstead homeowners and landlords call us for most often.
Wobbly cupboards, loose towel rails, new shelving, blinds and TV brackets fitted properly in Plumstead homes and their garden flats.
Older wooden doors and steel window frames adjusted, latches and hinges replaced, and security gates realigned so they lock easily.
Hairline and settlement cracks in older plaster, holes from previous fittings and knocks in passages patched and prepared for paint.
Gutters cleared and resealed, downpipes reattached, boundary walls and gates repaired before the Southern Suburbs winter rain arrives.
Much of Plumstead was built in the middle of the last century, on decent-sized plots with mature gardens. These are well-built houses, but after many decades the original fittings, steel window frames and wooden doors start to show their age. Plaster develops cracks, hinges wear out and security gates added over the years drop out of line.
Many properties also have a second dwelling, such as a granny flat, cottage or converted garage, that is rented out. That means two sets of repairs on one plot, and landlords who want jobs done quickly between tenants. Winter rain in this part of the Southern Suburbs is also heavy enough to expose any weak gutter or downpipe.
We replace worn hinges and handles, fix cupboard doors and drawers, put up shelving and blinds, and secure anything that has worked loose from the wall.
Steel windows that will not close, wooden doors that drag and security gates that need a shove to lock are adjusted, lubricated or refitted so they work smoothly.
We clean and reseal gutters, fix downpipes, repair garden and boundary walls and tidy up small paving problems around the house and the back cottage.
If you rent out a cottage or flat on your Plumstead property, we can handle the repairs between tenants in one visit. Send the list and photos, and we will quote each item so you can decide what to fix now and what can wait.
Our team also does painting in Plumstead, building and renovations in Plumstead and fireplace, braai and chimney services.
