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.
