Small jobs
Got a list of small jobs? Send it all at once
Most homes collect small jobs: a door that drags, a cracked grout line, a missing towel rail, a patch of damp paint. Separately they're hard to get anyone out for. Together they make a sensible visit.
Choose Several jobs / other on the form and list them. The contractor can then plan one visit with the right tools and materials.

Handyman services
Handyman services in Pretoria for the small jobs that pile up
Most homes need a handyman now and then for jobs too small for a builder but too fiddly to leave. Here is what a handyman in Pretoria is usually asked to do, how a visit works and which jobs belong to another trade.
Typical jobs for a handyman in Pretoria
Handyman services in Pretoria cover the practical fixes that keep a house working. A door that sticks after summer rain often comes down to loose hinge screws, a frame that has moved slightly or swollen timber, and is usually sorted by packing the hinges, planing the edge and resealing the bare wood.
- Hanging, adjusting and easing doors and cupboard doors
- Replacing hinges, handles, catches and drawer runners
- Fitting curtain rails, blinds, shelves and TV brackets
- Redoing tired sealant around baths, basins and worktops
- Patching small holes and dents in plaster before painting
- Clearing gutters and downpipes of leaves and debris
- Fixing sagging manual gates, hinges, rollers and latches
Bundling several jobs into one visit
Getting someone out for a single cupboard hinge is rarely worth it for either side. A room-by-room list lets the contractor bring the right tools and materials and plan one visit instead of several.
Landlords and property managers in Pretoria East often do this between tenants, combining sealant, door adjustments, plaster patches and gutter clearing before a new lease. Put the list in order of priority so the essentials are done first.
What a handyman visit involves and what affects the quote
The contractor usually starts by going through the list with you, checking each item and confirming who supplies the materials. Fixings depend on the wall: solid brick and plaster takes standard plugs, while drywall partitions and gypsum ceiling boards need special fixings or a stud, so mention the weight of anything being mounted.
The number of tasks, how spread out they are, ladder height and access all affect the price. Old fittings that are seized or no longer made can turn a simple swap into a small repair, which photos help the contractor judge.
Jobs that need a different specialist
Some jobs that look small belong to a regulated trade. New or moved plugs, lights and circuits must be done by a registered electrician who issues a Certificate of Compliance, and gas stoves, heaters and braai connections need an SAQCC Gas registered installer.
Removing a wall, making a new opening or cracks that keep widening are structural matters that need an engineer, and possibly building plans approved by the City of Tshwane. If any of this is on your list, mention it in the enquiry so the contractor can say what they can and can't handle.
Hiring advice
Before you hire anyone for work on your home
Whoever does the work, these checks protect you. They take a few minutes and prevent most disputes.
Get the quote in writing
It should list what's included, the materials, who supplies them, and what isn't included.
Agree how payment works
Ask whether a deposit is needed and link larger payments to completed stages, not dates.
Ask about approvals
Structural changes may need plans approved by the City of Tshwane. Estates and complexes often need HOA or body corporate consent first.
Keep photos and records
Photograph the area before work starts and keep messages about changes to the scope.

Questions about this service
Who will do the work?
An independent contractor. This website is run by a marketing company that passes enquiries to contractors who cover Pretoria East and Centurion. The contractor contacts you, quotes, does the work and invoices you directly, and your agreement for the work is with them.
Is there a cost to send an enquiry?
No. Sending the form doesn't commit you to anything. The contractor will discuss the job with you and give you their quote, and you decide whether to accept it.
Can I send one enquiry for several different jobs?
Yes. Choose "Several jobs / other" and list everything in the description. Grouping small jobs often makes a visit more practical for both sides.
Which areas are covered?
The focus is Pretoria East, Faerie Glen and Centurion. Homes in other Pretoria East suburbs such as Garsfontein, Moreleta Park, Menlyn and Waterkloof are welcome too. Add your suburb to the form and the contractor will confirm whether they cover your address.
Should I send photos of the job?
Photos help a lot, especially for leaks, cracks and renovations. When the contractor contacts you, they can ask you to send them directly, which keeps your photos out of public forms.
Do you give prices on the website?
No. Handyman and renovation prices depend on the size of the job, access, materials and the condition of what's there. Rather than publish numbers that may not apply to your home, the contractor quotes for the actual work.
Do I need to buy the shelves, blinds or handles first?
You can, and it often helps because you choose the exact look and size. If you'd rather not, ask the contractor to quote with materials included and agree on the style before the visit.
Can a handyman clean gutters on a double-storey house?
Gutter clearing is generally done from a ladder where access is safe. Steep roofs, high walls or damaged gutters may need scaffolding or a roofing contractor, and the contractor will tell you if that's the case.
