Homes in George need a bit more upkeep than most because of the damp mountain air. These are the jobs our handyman team is asked to do most in town.
Shelves, blinds, towel rails, TV brackets and loose cupboard doors fitted firmly and level, in town houses, retirement homes and estate homes around George.
Timber doors and window frames swell in the George humidity. We plane, re-hang and adjust them, and replace tired hinges, handles and latches.
Cracks, blown plaster and the marks left by old fittings are filled and smoothed, and we can treat damp spots before they are painted over.
Leaves, pine needles and moss block gutters quickly here. We clear and repair gutters, downpipes, fascias and gates so the rain drains away from the house.
Unlike Cape Town, George does not have a dry season to catch up on outside work. Rain is spread through the year and mist often rolls down from the Outeniqua Mountains, so timber stays damp for long spells. Doors and window frames swell, fascia boards start to rot from the ends, and gutters fill with moss and leaves faster than people expect.
The housing is varied too. There are older homes in the established streets around the town centre and Denneoord, newer family homes in areas like Kraaibosch, and golf estates such as Fancourt and Kingswood with their own rules for contractors. Many retired residents and part-time owners also want a dependable team to keep the place in order between visits.
We hang mirrors, pictures and TV brackets, put up shelving and curtain rails, and tighten or replace cupboard hinges and drawer runners that have worked loose over time.
Doors that drag on the floor, windows that will not latch and gates that have dropped are a constant in a damp climate. We plane, re-hang and refit them, and tell you honestly when a frame is too far gone to save.
Gutters, downpipes, fascias and barge boards take a beating in George. We clear blockages, reseal joints, swap out rotten boards and check that water is led away from walls and foundations.
If you only spend part of the year in George, or simply prefer not to climb ladders any more, send us your list and photos and we will quote it in writing. We can work from a key arrangement or meet you on site, and we send photos of the finished jobs so you know exactly what was done.
Our team also does painting in George, flooring and tiling in George, building and renovations in George and fireplace, braai and chimney services.

George is humid and gets rain throughout the year, so timber doors absorb moisture and swell. We plane and re-hang them and seal the raw edges so they are less likely to stick again.
Yes. Many owners send us a list and photos and arrange access with a key or a neighbour. We do the work and send photos once it is finished.
Yes. We arrange gate access in advance and follow each estate's contractor rules and working hours.
With trees, moss and year-round rain, at least once or twice a year is sensible, and more often if your roof sits under pines or large trees. Blocked gutters push water into fascias and walls.
