Frequently asked questions 👇
Expect a call-out/first-hour fee of about R450 – R766, then labour of R300 – R550 per hour depending on the job, plus materials. Skilled work like tiling, waterproofing, or built-in repairs sits at the higher end, and bundling several small jobs into one visit is usually the cheapest way to get through your list.
For tenant change-overs and maintenance: patching and painting walls, fixing doors, locks, and cupboards, replacing tap washers and toilet seats, and sorting the small items on inspection reports. A reliable handyman who can quote from photos keeps turnaround between tenants short, and vacancies usually cost more than repairs.
After-hours and emergency work in Johannesburg typically runs at 1.5–2× the normal labour rate, and an emergency call-out of R475 – R750+ may apply. Always confirm what counts as after-hours and whether the call-out includes the first hour before the pro leaves for your address.

Reason is a good and honest man. I impressed with his services. He is reliable and trustworthy. He delivers on time and he is always on time. He is patient and listens to instructions very well.
Another guy did a mess with my kitchen cupboards and I was referred to Sifiso. When he came he offered to fix the mess for free and I only paid his labor because he did a good job, from that day he is the only guy I use for my office and at home. So far he has done cupboards at the office as well, paving at my place, plumbing, wardrobes, tiling, and the kitchen cupboard. What I like about him is that once he fixes something he does it for the long term, I have not had any problems with anything he has done for me and he is very reliable whenever I need his assistance he always makes a plan for me, plus he does not overcharge for his work.
He actually did quite a lot of handywork for me including plastering, brickwork,painting, paving and waterprofing. He did an excellent service and I was happy with his work. His workmanship is great, he is a proffessional and knowledgeable. What I like more about him is that he doesnt waste materials and he gives value for money. I highly recommend him
