Frequently asked questions 👇
Expect a call-out/first-hour fee of about R450 – R761, then labour of R300 – R550 per hour depending on the job, plus materials. Skilled work like tiling, waterproofing, or built-in repairs sits at the higher end, and bundling several small jobs into one visit is usually the cheapest way to get through your list.
A handyman suits phased upgrades well: skimming and painting one room at a time, fitting shelves and cupboards, replacing doors and handles, tiling small areas, and fixing as you go. Doing it in planned phases lets you budget per room, and one pro who knows your home works faster each visit.
After-hours and emergency work in Soweto typically runs at 1.5–2× the normal labour rate, and an emergency call-out of R475 – R750+ may apply. Always confirm what counts as after-hours and whether the call-out includes the first hour before the pro leaves 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 Soweto, not anonymous ratings.
