Hi, I'm Jess. Tell me what's going wrong at home today.
There's black mould creeping up the bathroom ceiling and the paint is bubbling.
Bubbling paint means moisture is getting in or not getting out, usually ventilation or a seal that's failed. The fix is treating the mould, fixing the source, and repainting with the right product. I can connect you with a vetted handyman in Cape Town.

Daniel's work is wonderful. He has done a number of jobs and he has never disappointed me. He tiled my kitchen floors, bathroom stairs and my balcony. He also removed old windows and he painted my whole flat. My preference is to work with Daniel. He is very polite and honest. He is very knowledgeable about his job. He does not need to be supervised at all because he knows what is required of him. It was a pleasure working with him and i will definitely recommend him to others to use his services.

How it works
What does it cost to hire a handyman in Cape Town?

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.

How do I deal with damp and mould in my Cape Town home?

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.

Do handymen in Cape Town do emergency and weekend work?

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.

What makes Kandua different from just Googling 'handyman near me' in Cape Town?

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.

How much does it cost to hire a Handyman in Cape Town?

Handyman prices in Cape Town are easier to plan for when you know the typical flat rates. Most small jobs are priced per task rather than per hour. As a guide, common tasks like picture and mirror hanging (up to 4 items), curtain rail or blind installation (up to 2 units) and light fitting swaps (up to 3) usually come in around R550, TV wall mounting (up to 65 inches) at about R590, flat-pack assembly, appliance installation and minor plumbing fixes at roughly R650, and gutter cleaning (up to 20m, single storey) at around R750. Kandua Pros use these rates as a guide and quote competitively. Materials are quoted separately, and your final price is always confirmed upfront.
