Frequently asked questions 👇
Kandua handymen typically work on flat per-task guide rates rather than hourly billing. Expect around R550 for common jobs like hanging shelves or pictures (up to 3 shelves or 4 items) or replacing locks (up to 2), about R590 for TV mounting (up to 65 inches) or silicone re-caulking per bath or shower, roughly R650 for flat-pack assembly per item or minor painting touch-ups, and around R750 for gutter cleaning (up to 20m, single storey), plus materials. Kandua Pros quote competitively against these guide rates, so you'll always see your exact price before work begins.
First fix the source: blocked gutters, failed silicone, cracked exterior plaster, or poor ventilation. A handyman can reseal, repair, and repaint with the right mould-resistant products, and improve airflow. If damp keeps returning despite repairs, it may be rising damp or a plumbing leak that needs a specialist.
Yes, after-hours and emergency handymen are available on Kandua in Cape Town. Expect emergency work to be charged at roughly 1.5–2× the standard rate as a general guide, and always confirm pricing with your Pro before they leave for your address.
Every pro on Kandua is vetted before they can quote on jobs, and their reviews come from verified customers in and around Cape Town, not anonymous ratings. Jess, Kandua’s AI home companion, also helps you scope the job properly first, so you’re matched with a handyman who actually does that type of work.
