Repairs & Fittings
Blinds, curtain rails, towel rails, shelving, mirrors and TV mounts fitted into Parklands walls properly, including the lighter partition walls common in newer townhouses.
Parklands homes take a beating from the south-easter and the sand it carries, and the small repairs add up fast. Our team sorts out loose fittings, sliding doors, wall cracks and gutters, so send your list and a few photos for a written quote.
FIRE FLAMES SERVICES
Many Parklands owners moved into newer homes that now need their first proper round of maintenance. These are the handyman jobs we get asked for most in the suburb.
Blinds, curtain rails, towel rails, shelving, mirrors and TV mounts fitted into Parklands walls properly, including the lighter partition walls common in newer townhouses.
Sliding doors and aluminium windows that drag on sand-filled tracks, worn rollers, loose handles and locks that no longer catch, cleaned out and adjusted so they run smoothly again.
Hairline cracks in plaster, holes left by old brackets and chipped corners in passages repaired, sanded and primed so they disappear under the next coat of paint.
Gutters and downpipes knocked loose by strong summer winds, garden gates, boundary walls and small paving repairs sorted before the next storm brings more damage.
Parklands grew quickly along the West Coast side of Table View, so a lot of the housing is fairly new: freehold family homes, rows of townhouses and many complexes run by a body corporate. Newer does not mean maintenance-free. Builder-grade fittings start to loosen, sliding doors wear their rollers and plaster settles, and this is usually where owners start looking for a reliable handyman.
The suburb sits close to the coast on flat, sandy ground, and the south-easter blows hard through summer. Fine sand gets into door tracks and window runners, gutters and fascias get pulled loose, and salt in the air works on exposed metal like gate hinges and latches. A lot of our Parklands work is fixing what the wind and sand have done.
We put up blinds, shelves, mirrors and TV mounts using the right fixings for the wall, whether it is solid brick or a lighter internal partition, so nothing pulls loose a few months later.
We clean sand out of tracks, replace worn rollers and guides, adjust sliding doors and fix interior doors, handles and locks that have dropped or stopped catching.
We refit and replace gutters and downpipes, repair garden gates and boundary walls, and replace rusted hinges and latches. If we find something bigger, like rotten fascias, we show you and ask before we carry on.
In a Parklands complex, some repairs are yours and some fall to the body corporate, especially outside walls, roofs and gutters. Check with your managing agent first, then send us the jobs that are yours. We can also quote trustees for common property work such as gates, boundary walls and shared gutters across several units.
Our team also does painting in Parklands, building and renovations in Parklands and fireplace, braai and chimney services.

Yes. We check whether the wall is solid brick or a lighter partition first and use fixings that suit it. That way the mount stays put and the wall is not damaged.
