Confirm your building's contractor access rules upfront, and note that exterior or structural items belong to the body corporate.

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 recommend Sandra's services.

A few quick answers (so you don't have to scroll)

In Sandton: what local homes typically need
Sandton is home to Africa's richest square mile and its residential surrounds, and its homes are high-spec properties, secure estates, luxury apartments and clusters. Around Morningside, Rivonia and Sandown, that local character shapes the handyman work that comes up most often.
Even immaculate Sandton homes need art hung, TVs mounted, and small fixes handled discreetly and well. Vetted pros who work cleanly in secure estates and apartments are the natural fit.
Sandton's standards extend to the small stuff: art hung precisely, TVs cabled invisibly, hardware matched properly. Vetted pros who work discreetly in estates and apartments own this market.
From Atholl to Hurlingham, Kandua's vetted handymen cover the greater Sandton area, and Jess matches you with pros who actually work your streets, not just your city.
Jobs a handyman handles well
From Morningside to Rivonia, these flat-priced tasks cover most of what Sandton homes actually need, caps and all.
- Mounting and hanging: TVs (about R590 as a guide, up to 65 inch), pictures, art and mirrors (about R550, up to 4 items), floating shelves (about R550, up to 3).
- Fixtures and hardware: door locks and handles (about R550, up to 2), cabinet hinges (about R550, up to 4), light fittings and bulb swaps (about R550, up to 3).
- Assembly and installation: flat-pack furniture at about R650 per item, and appliance unboxing and connection at around R650.
- Sealing and finishing: silicone re-caulking per bath or shower at about R590, and minor painting touch-ups at around R650 for up to 2 hours.
- Outside jobs: curtain rods and blinds (about R550, up to 2 units), gutter cleaning and minor repairs at about R750 for up to 20m on a single storey, and minor leak or blockage fixes at around R650.
Where the handyman hands over, and to whom
Just as important for Sandton 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.
DIY or book it? A quick gut check
If the job needs tools you own, no ladder, and a mistake costs a redo rather than a repair, DIY away. That covers a fair share of household niggles.
If it involves weight on a wall, height, security hardware, or a finish you'll see every day, the flat task rates from about R550 buy skill, speed and no second attempt.
Pricing: what to budget for a handyman in Sandton
These flat per-task guide rates make handyman costs in Sandton predictable. Pros quote competitively against them, larger jobs are quoted individually, and the exact price is always confirmed before work starts.
- 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.
Every rate carries its scope, and jobs beyond it are quoted upfront rather than surprised onto the invoice. Batch your list into one visit and the economics improve further.
Genuinely helpful handyman FAQs for Sandton
What does a handyman cost in Sandton?
Most small jobs are flat-priced per task at around R550 to R750 as a guide, plus materials, from picture hanging at about R550 to gutter cleaning at around R750. Your Pro confirms the exact price upfront.
Which parts of Sandton do Kandua handymen cover?
Vetted handymen on Kandua work throughout Sandton, including Morningside, Rivonia, Sandown and Atholl. Jess matches you with a pro covering your exact area.
Do handymen in Sandton work after hours or weekends?
Many Kandua pros in Sandton do, typically at around 1.5 to 2 times standard rates as a guide, with the exact pricing confirmed upfront.
What if I have more items than the flat rate covers?
The Pro simply quotes the extra scope upfront: the caps define the guide rate, and anything beyond is agreed before work continues.
Is it really cheaper to bundle several jobs into one visit?
Almost always. Travel and setup happen once, so each extra flat-priced task adds less than a separate visit would. Keep the list, book once.
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.
That list isn't clearing itself. Post it on Kandua and Jess will match you with vetted handymen in Sandton, flat guide rates and all, with your exact price confirmed upfront.
