Frequently asked questions 👇
As a guide, most small jobs are flat-priced per task at around R550 to R750, plus materials. Typical examples: picture and mirror hanging (up to 4 items) or light fitting swaps (up to 3) at about R550, TV wall mounting (up to 65 inches) at roughly R590, flat-pack assembly (per item), appliance installation or minor plumbing fixes at around R650, and gutter cleaning (up to 20m, single storey) at about R750. Larger or specialised work is quoted individually. These are estimates, and bundling several tasks into one visit usually works out cheapest.
General repairs and maintenance, carpentry, painting, mounting, sealing, and minor fixes are all handyman work. But electrical work on the installation needs a registered electrician (it requires a CoC), gas work needs a registered gas installer, and significant plumbing should go to a qualified plumber. Jess routes your job to the right type of vetted pro.
Every pro on Kandua is vetted before they can quote on jobs, and reviews come from verified customers, not anonymous ratings. Jess, Kandua’s AI home companion, helps you scope the job properly so you’re matched with a handyman who does that type of work.
Almost always. With flat per-task rates, each extra job on the list adds less than a separate visit would, since the Pro's travel and setup happen once. Keep a running list of small fixes and book when it's worth a visit. Your Pro will quote the full list upfront, so you can see the saving before any work starts.
