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.
Buyers notice small neglect: cracked plaster, peeling paint, dripping taps, sticking doors, missing silicone, and tired front-entrance details. A day or two of handyman work fixing these usually costs a fraction of what buyers mentally deduct for them. Just remember electrical and gas compliance certificates need registered specialists, not a handyman.
Yes, after-hours and emergency handymen are available on Kandua in Kempton Park. 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 Kempton Park, 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.
Handyman reviews in Johannesburg area
I needed to have house renovations and Sandra assisted me. The services provided included roofing, tiling, removing the durawall, installed a fence, and painting. I am really impressed with the service. Sandra does not waste time as long as the materials are available. I never had issues with her work. All the rubbles were removed afterward. I recommend Sandra's services.
I hired Keanan for painting, paving, and installation of a sprinkler system in my garden and he did a fantastic job, he is a great guy with a pleasant personality, he is attentive to instructions and his work does not have any comebacks. He arrives on time and he takes time to perfect and satisfy a client, l also use him as a handyman, he does general repairs for me because he is a trustworthy person.
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 is an excellent service provider. I have used his services a number of times and he has never disappointed me. He is a reliable and honest professional. He does not need to be managed at all. His prices are competitive with no comebacks. I will definitely recommend him to anyone who requires his services.
Wiseman is a great person to work with. I first used his painting services when my house was still new. A couple of years later, I called him to repaint and also install the floor tiles. His work was so excellent. I do not have any complaints. I recommend his neat and professional services.
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
He is an excellent worker and the quality of his work is outstanding. He came to do a burglar as well as DStv installation at my place. The job was well done and I was totally impressed with the results. I found him to be very reliable, honest, understanding, helpful and highly skilled. His rates are quite reasonable and he is also open to negotiations. I would highly recommend his services anytime to anyone.
he is a very skilled and educated guy, He has done a couple of projects for me and his work is sophisticated and I'm beyond thrilled with his work.
Very friendly, honest and willing. He arrived when he said he would and didn’t the job on time.

Handymen in Kempton Park: what to know before you book
Hourly billing never suited small jobs: nobody wants to watch a clock while a shelf goes up. Flat per-task pricing fixes that, and it's how handyman work runs on Kandua.
For homeowners in Kempton Park, that means published guide rates per task, vetted pros, and a price you understood before booking.
A few quick answers (so you don't have to scroll)
How is handyman work priced on Kandua?
Flat per task as a guide, typically R550 to R750 for common jobs, plus materials. Each rate covers a defined scope, and your Pro confirms the exact price upfront.
What's the cheapest way to use a handyman?
Bundle. Keep a running list and book one visit: travel and setup happen once, and each extra task adds less than a separate visit would.
How do I choose a good handyman?
Vetting and reviews first, then clarity: a good pro confirms the task scope and price upfront, and flags anything that needs a specialist instead.
In Kempton Park: what local homes typically need
Kempton Park is Ekurhuleni's aviation hub, right beside OR Tambo, and its homes are established family suburbs from the 70s and 80s plus newer complexes and estates. Around Glen Marais, Birchleigh and Norkem Park, that local character shapes the handyman work that comes up most often.
Family homes across Glen Marais and Birchleigh generate the classic small-job list, and per-task pricing suits owners who want several things fixed in a single visit. Rental turnover in the area adds move-in fix-ups to the mix.
Aviation-industry shift patterns in Kempton Park make efficient, well-scheduled handyman visits especially valued. Rental units around the area add turnover tasks to the standard family-home list.
From Aston Manor to Birch Acres, Kandua's vetted handymen cover the greater Kempton Park area, and Jess matches you with pros who actually work your streets, not just your city.
The jobs handymen do best
From Glen Marais to Birchleigh, these flat-priced tasks cover most of what Kempton Park homes actually need, caps and all.
- On the wall: TV mounting up to 65 inch at about R590 as a guide, pictures and mirrors up to 4 items at around R550, floating shelves up to 3 at about R550.
- Doors and cabinets: lock and handle replacement up to 2 at about R550, hinge adjustment up to 4 at around R550.
- Putting things together: flat-pack assembly at about R650 per item and appliance connection at around R650.
- Wet areas and finishes: bath or shower re-caulking at about R590 per unit, minor painting touch-ups at around R650 for up to 2 hours, small leak and blockage fixes at about R650.
- Up the ladder: curtain rods and blinds up to 2 units at about R550, and single-storey gutter cleaning up to 20m at around R750.
Where the handyman hands over, and to whom
Just as important for Kempton Park homeowners is knowing what a handyman should hand over, and to whom.
1) Electrical
Simple like-for-like fitting swaps are fine; new points, DB work and fault finding are electrician jobs with compliance implications. The honest pros draw that line themselves.
2) Gas
Only registered gas installers may work on gas, by law. Full stop, and any handyman worth booking will tell you the same.
3) Serious plumbing
The handyman flat rate of about R650 covers minor leaks and blockages nicely. Geysers, hidden leaks and drainage belong with a plumber before water turns a small saving into a big repair.
When it's a DIY job, and when it isn't
Plenty of small tasks are honest DIY: tightening a handle, hanging a light picture on the right hook, silicone if you've done it before and own a caulking gun.
The handyman earns the flat rate where jobs need the right tools, a second pair of hands, or consequences if they go wrong: TVs on walls, anything up a ladder, locks you rely on, and finishes you'll look at daily.
Pricing: what to budget for a handyman in Kempton Park
Kandua publishes flat task guide rates so handyman pricing in Kempton Park holds no surprises. Treat them as estimates, confirmed exactly by your Pro upfront.
- Around R550: picture, art and mirror hanging (up to 4 items), curtain rods and blinds (up to 2 units), door locks and handles (up to 2), light fittings and bulb swaps (up to 3), floating shelves (up to 3), cabinet hinges (up to 4).
- About R590: TV wall mounting (up to 65 inch) and silicone re-caulking per bath or shower unit.
- Roughly R650: flat-pack assembly per item, appliance unboxing and connection, minor plumbing fixes for leaks and blockages, and minor painting touch-ups (up to 2 hours).
- Around R750: gutter cleaning and minor repairs (up to 20m, single storey).
- After hours: typically around 1.5 to 2 times standard rates as a guide, confirmed upfront.
- Materials: quoted separately, from wall plugs to brackets.
The caps matter: each rate covers the scope shown, and your Pro quotes any extra upfront. Bundling several tasks into one visit remains the easiest saving in home maintenance.
Genuinely helpful handyman FAQs for Kempton Park
How much should I budget for handyman work in Kempton Park?
Flat guide rates run about R550 to R750 per task plus materials: around R550 for hanging and hardware jobs, about R590 for TV mounting or re-caulking, roughly R650 for assembly and appliance connection, and around R750 for gutters. Exact price confirmed upfront.
Which parts of Kempton Park do Kandua handymen cover?
Vetted handymen on Kandua work throughout Kempton Park, including Glen Marais, Birchleigh, Norkem Park and Aston Manor. Jess matches you with a pro covering your exact area.
Can I book weekend handyman work in Kempton Park?
Yes, plenty of pros serving Kempton Park take weekend and evening jobs, usually at about 1.5 to 2 times standard rates as a guide, confirmed before they head out.
What happens if my job exceeds a task's scope cap?
Your Pro quotes the difference upfront before continuing. Six pictures instead of four, or a second bathroom's silicone, gets priced transparently, never surprised onto the bill.
Should I save up small jobs for one booking?
Yes. One visit clearing five tasks beats five visits every time, because the Pro's travel and setup are spread across the whole list.
Are materials included in the flat task rates?
No, the guide rates are labour only. Brackets, plugs, silicone and parts are quoted separately, and small-parts costs are usually modest.
Can a handyman do electrical, gas or bigger plumbing work?
No, and a good one says so: electrical work needs a qualified electrician, gas legally requires a registered installer, and geysers or drainage belong with a plumber. Kandua matches all three when the handover is needed.
How do I prepare for the handyman's visit?
List every task, photograph each one, and note sizes or wall types where relevant. A complete list lets the Pro arrive with the right tools and quote the whole visit upfront.
