Hi, I'm Jess. Tell me what's going wrong at home today.
I've got a list: a door that won't close, a dripping tap, and shelves that need hanging.
That's exactly what a good handyman is for, and bundling small jobs into one visit saves you money on call-outs. Snap a quick photo of each job so the quote is accurate. Let's get you connected with a vetted handyman to knock out the whole list.

How it works
How much does a handyman cost in South Africa?

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.

What jobs can a handyman legally do in South Africa?

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.

How does Kandua vet its handymen?

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.

Is it cheaper to bundle several small jobs into one handyman visit?

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.

How much does it cost to hire a Handyman in South Africa?

Handyman prices in South Africa 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.
