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.
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.
They do. Plenty of pros on Kandua in Soweto handle after-hours and weekend call-outs. As a guide, emergency and after-hours work usually runs at about 1.5–2× the standard rate, so it's worth confirming the rate and what counts as after-hours with your Pro upfront.
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. Jess, Kandua’s AI home companion, also helps you scope the job properly first, so you’re matched with a handyman who actually does that type of work.
