Jobs in Stellenbosch range from tidying up a student flat between tenants to fitting out a new home in one of the estates. These are the handyman jobs we are asked for most.
Shelving, blinds, curtain rails, towel rails and TV brackets fixed securely, plus broken cupboard hinges and drawer runners replaced in Stellenbosch homes and flats.
Swollen or warped doors planed and re-hung, worn locks and handles replaced, and old wooden sash and casement windows eased so they open without a fight.
Cracks, nail holes and scuffed plaster in rentals and family homes filled and smoothed so the walls are ready for a fresh coat.
Oak leaves cleared from gutters and downpipes, loose fascias fixed, and garden gates and walls repaired before the wet season sets in.
Stellenbosch has a real spread of houses. Around Dorp Street and the old town centre there are older homes with thick walls, timber floors and wooden windows, suburbs like Die Boord, Paradyskloof and Uniepark are mostly family houses, and the estates on the edge of town hold newer homes. Each type brings its own list of small jobs, from loose window frames in the older houses to unfinished fittings in the new ones.
The weather here is more extreme than in Cape Town itself. Summers in the valley get very hot and dry, which opens up cracks and dries out timber, and winters are cold and wet, so doors swell and gutters choked with oak leaves spill water down the walls. A lot of our Stellenbosch work is simply getting a house ready for the season ahead.
We put up shelves, blinds, mirrors, curtain rails and TV brackets, using the right plugs and screws for brick or drywall so nothing pulls loose after a few months.
When students move out, flats often need holes filled, handles replaced, doors adjusted and small breakages sorted before the next tenants arrive. We can work through the whole flat in one go so it is ready on time.
Gutters, downpipes, fascias, gates and boundary walls. If we find rot or a bigger structural problem while we work, we stop and talk it through with you before going further.
Many landlords in Stellenbosch own flats or houses let to students and do not live nearby. Send us the list and photos, tell us how to get the keys, and we can do the repairs between leases and send you photos of the finished work, so the place is ready before the new academic year starts.
Our team also does painting in Stellenbosch, flooring and tiling in Stellenbosch, building and renovations in Stellenbosch and fireplace, braai and chimney services.
