These are the handyman jobs we are called out for most in Gordon's Bay homes, flats and holiday houses.
Rusted towel rails, loose shelving, curtain rails, blinds and outdoor light brackets replaced or refitted in Gordon's Bay homes, using fixings suited to the sea air.
Sliding doors that grind on sandy tracks, corroded window stays, and locks and handles seized by salt cleaned, adjusted or replaced.
Cracks in plaster from movement on the mountain slopes, salt-damaged patches and holes from old fittings filled and readied for paint.
Corroded gutters, loose downpipes, fascias, balustrades and gates on Gordon's Bay houses repaired before the winter storms roll in.
Gordon’s Bay sits on the eastern edge of False Bay, with homes climbing the slopes of the Hottentots Holland mountains above the harbour and Bikini Beach. Most houses look out over the water, which is wonderful for the view but hard on the house. Salt air rusts screws, hinges, gutters and burglar bars, and fine sand works its way into sliding door tracks and window runners.
The south-easter can blow hard here in summer, coming down off the mountain in strong gusts, and winter brings cold fronts with driving rain. Many properties are holiday homes or lock-up-and-go flats along Beach Road and in areas such as Harbour Island, and things can go wrong while the owners are away. A regular handyman visit keeps small problems from turning into big ones.
We replace rusted fittings, hinges, handles and brackets, and service locks that have seized up from the salt. Where we can, we use stainless or coated fittings that stand up better to the coast.
Sliding doors are cleaned, their rollers replaced and the tracks aligned. We also repair window stays, rehang doors that have dropped and fit new locks.
Gutters, downpipes, fascias, balustrades and gates are repaired or replaced, and small cracks in retaining or garden walls are patched before rain can get in.
If your Gordon’s Bay house or flat stands empty for parts of the year, send us a list of jobs and we can arrange access through a neighbour, agent or key box. We let you know when the work is done and send photos, so the place is ready when you or your guests arrive.
Our team also does painting in Gordon's Bay, building and renovations in Gordon's Bay and fireplace, braai and chimney services.
