Between the valley homes and the flats near the beach, Fish Hoek keeps a handyman busy. These are the handyman jobs we do most often here.
Loose cupboard doors, worn drawer runners, towel rails, shelves and safety rails replaced or refitted, which many Fish Hoek retirees and long-time residents ask us for.
Old steel and timber window frames that no longer close, swollen doors, broken sash cords, sagging garden gates and worn locks repaired so the house is secure again.
Cracked and loose plaster in older Fish Hoek houses cut back, repaired and smoothed, plus holes from old fittings patched ready for paint.
Rusted gutters, broken downpipes, rotting fascias and loose garden walls fixed before the winter north-westers send rain sweeping across the valley.
Fish Hoek is one of the older settled towns on the False Bay coast, and much of the housing dates from the middle of the last century. Steel window frames, timber doors, older plumbing fittings and original gutters are all common, and with age they rust, swell and loosen. There is also a large retired community, and many residents want reliable help with jobs they no longer want to climb ladders for.
The town lies in a valley running from False Bay to Noordhoek, so wind funnels through it in both summer and winter. Salt air from the beach settles on metal and woodwork, and homes on the slopes of the mountain stay damp in the shade. Rust, sticking frames and damp patches make up a large part of the repairs we see.
We fit shelves, rails, mirrors and blinds, fix cupboards and drawers, and install grab rails and handles that make daily life safer and easier.
We free up rusted steel windows, replace stays and handles, re-hang doors, fit new locks and repair sagging gates so they close and latch properly.
We replace rusted gutters and downpipes, fix fascias, patch plaster and repair garden walls. If we spot wider damp or rot, we show you and agree the next step before going further.
