These are the handyman jobs Bellville homeowners, landlords and tenants ask us for most.
Loose towel rails, wobbly shelving, blinds, curtain tracks and wall-mounted TVs secured with the right plugs for Bellville's brick walls, plus the small fixes that come up between tenants.
Warped doors, worn hinges, broken handles and window stays that no longer hold, adjusted or replaced so the house closes up properly when the cold fronts arrive.
Cracks in plaster, holes left by old brackets and scuffed rental walls filled and smoothed, ready for a fresh coat when a lease ends.
Blocked gutters, leaking downpipes, loose fascias and sagging gates on Bellville houses sorted out before the wet season sets in.
Many Bellville homes are several decades old, and streets in Boston, Oakdale and Bellville South are lined with face-brick and plastered houses that have long since settled. Fittings have been replaced over and over, door frames have moved a little, and original gutters are often close to the end of their life. Up in Welgemoed and Kenridge the houses are bigger, with more doors, more outside walls and more to keep on top of.
Bellville is also home to plenty of rental property, from flats around the CBD and Voortrekker Road to houses let to students at UWC and the CPUT campus. Rentals take a beating, and landlords often need a dependable team to clear a repair list between tenants. Long, hot summers dry out timber, and steady winter rain then swells it again, so doors and gates here rarely stay true for long.
We mount TVs, mirrors, shelving and blinds, swap broken cupboard hinges and drawer runners, and replace towel rails and toilet roll holders. Everything is fixed into solid brick with the correct anchors so it stays put.
When a tenant moves out we work through the snag list: patched walls, broken handles, loose fittings and cupboard doors hanging off their hinges. Landlords and agents can send the inspection notes and photos and we price the lot.
We clear and repair gutters and downpipes, replace rotten fascia sections, fix gate hinges and latches, and patch small cracks in boundary walls. Anything that turns out to need a builder rather than a handyman, we flag before going further.
Rental properties need quick, tidy work between one tenant and the next. If you own or manage a flat or house in Bellville, send us the outgoing inspection and we can quote straight from it, arrange keys with you or the agent, and let you know as soon as the place is ready to show again.
Our team also does painting in Bellville, flooring and tiling in Bellville, building and renovations in Bellville and fireplace, braai and chimney services.

Yes. Most Bellville homes have solid brick walls, so we drill and plug them properly for the weight. For drywall partitions we use fixings made for that kind of board.
Small plaster cracks and holes we fill, sand and prepare for paint. If a crack looks structural, such as one that keeps opening or runs through the brick, we will say so and suggest a proper building repair.
