Repairs & Fittings
Mirrors, shelving, artwork, blinds and bathroom fittings hung and fixed securely, often into the concrete walls of apartment blocks, which need the right drill and plugs.
Bantry Bay homes look straight onto the Atlantic, and the spray from the rocks below leaves salt on every railing, hinge and window frame. Our handyman team keeps apartments and houses on these steep streets in good working order.

Bantry Bay is mostly apartments and large homes on steep sites. These are the handyman jobs we are called for most.
Mirrors, shelving, artwork, blinds and bathroom fittings hung and fixed securely, often into the concrete walls of apartment blocks, which need the right drill and plugs.
Large sliding and folding doors onto sea-facing balconies cleaned and adjusted, with new rollers or locks fitted where salt has worn the old ones.
Hairline cracks, holes and salt-damaged plaster repaired neatly and painted to match, so an apartment looks right before the owners or guests arrive.
Gutters, downpipes, balcony drains and gate hinges cleared and repaired before the north-westerly storms bring heavy winter rain.
Bantry Bay is a small suburb tucked between Sea Point and Clifton, rising steeply from Victoria Road up the lower slopes of Lion’s Head. Its position shelters it from much of the summer south-easter, but the Atlantic still throws salt spray up the hill, and that salt corrodes hinges, locks, door rollers and balcony fittings year after year.
Most properties are apartments in sectional title buildings or large homes set on terraces cut into the slope, with plenty of glass facing the sea. Many are holiday lets or second homes, so owners often need someone dependable to check on the place and fix things while they are away.
Hanging heavy mirrors and art, fitting shelves and blinds, replacing bathroom accessories and fixing cupboard doors. We protect floors and finishes while we work.
Big sliding doors are a feature of most homes here. We clean the tracks, replace worn rollers and locks, and check balcony balustrade fixings for rust and movement.
Gutters, downpipes, balcony drains and the small outlets that block up and flood a terrace in heavy rain. We clear and repair them so water runs off the building.
If your Bantry Bay apartment is a second home or a short-term rental, we can work through a list while you are overseas or out of town. Arrange key collection with your concierge, caretaker or letting agent, send us your list and photos, and we will send you photos of each job once it is done.
