Handyman reviews in Johannesburg area
Wiseman is a great person to work with. I first used his painting services when my house was still new. A couple of years later, I called him to repaint and also install the floor tiles. His work was so excellent. I do not have any complaints. I recommend his neat and professional services.
I was completely impressed with the work that Max and his team did at my place. They came out to build a wall and do paving. Their work is superb and I cannot fault them for anything. Their pricing was fair for the work they did. They worked tirelessly and completed all the work quickly and efficiently. Would be more than happy to recommend their services to anyone.
I have been using Titus several times to do painting, woodwork, plastering, general and pool maintenance at my house for the past 8 years. I am very impressed with his workmanship, customer service and professionalism. His quality of work is excellent and his pricing is very reasonable. I find him to be very honest, reliable and hardworking. I would highly recommend his services to other people.
Tshepo is a diligent worker, we have used him twice and we were very impressed with his work on both occasions. He did paving for us and we also hired him to build a room at our church. He did the plastering and painting as well. His work is great and we cannot fault him for anything. He is professional, trustworthy and fairly priced. Highly recommended!
He installed kitchen cupboards for me from scratch and he installed tiles in my entire three bedroom house that is in a complex. He came on time and he did a good job which he finished in six days. He cleaned up after his work and I was impressed with the service that he rendered to me. The price that he charged me was fair and the work was on point. I would not mind recommending him to anyone who may need his services. He is professional and he is good at what he does.
Very friendly, honest and willing. He arrived when he said he would and didn’t the job on time.
Reason is a good and honest man. I impressed with his services. He is reliable and trustworthy. He delivers on time and he is always on time. He is patient and listens to instructions very well.
I hired Keanan for painting, paving, and installation of a sprinkler system in my garden and he did a fantastic job, he is a great guy with a pleasant personality, he is attentive to instructions and his work does not have any comebacks. He arrives on time and he takes time to perfect and satisfy a client, l also use him as a handyman, he does general repairs for me because he is a trustworthy person.
I have been working with Gift on some projects for some time, he has done paving, tiling, gutters and building for him. He is good at his work, he works without supervision and he delivers on time. His quotes are reasonable, he cleans afterwards and I can recommend him.
I used Lovemore to do ceiling repairs and painting. He is professional, reliable, and works hard to deliver quality work. His prices are reasonable, he works well with his team, and his work is up to standard. His work is neat, he cleans up afterward, and I recommend him to others.

Handymen in Sunninghill: what to know before you book
Every home keeps a quiet list: the door that sticks, the shelf still in its box, the TV waiting for a wall. None of it is urgent, all of it matters, and a good handyman clears the lot in a single visit.
Kandua matches homeowners in Sunninghill with vetted handymen on flat per-task guide rates, so you know roughly what each job costs before anyone arrives.
A few quick answers (so you don't have to scroll)
What does a handyman cost on Kandua?
Most small jobs are flat-priced per task at around R550 to R750 as a guide, plus materials, with the scope of each rate defined upfront. Larger jobs are quoted individually.
Why flat pricing instead of hourly?
Because small jobs deserve predictable costs. A defined task at a defined guide rate beats clock-watching, and your Pro still confirms the exact price before starting.
What makes a handyman trustworthy?
Verified reviews, vetting before they can quote, and honesty about scope, including telling you when a job needs a registered electrician, plumber or gas installer instead.
In Sunninghill: what local homes typically need
Sunninghill is in Johannesburg's north, beside the Sandton business sprawl, and its homes are townhouse complexes and apartments in volume, popular with professionals and renters. Around Paulshof, Rivonia border and Kelvin surrounds, that local character shapes the handyman work that comes up most often.
Rental turnover and lock-up-and-go living make Sunninghill a per-task heartland: mounting, blinds, flat-pack assembly, locks and small fixes between leases. Vetted access-friendly pros win here.
Sunninghill may be Gauteng's densest per-task market: every lease change brings mounting, patching, locks and blinds. Access-friendly vetted pros win the repeat landlord business.
From Leeukop area to Sunninghill Gardens, Kandua's vetted handymen cover the greater Sunninghill area, and Jess matches you with pros who actually work your streets, not just your city.
Jobs a handyman handles well
From Paulshof to Rivonia border, these flat-priced tasks cover most of what Sunninghill 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.
What a handyman shouldn't do, and who to call instead
Just as important for Sunninghill homeowners is knowing what a handyman should hand over, and to whom.
1) Electrical work
Beyond swapping a like-for-like light fitting or bulb, electrical work belongs with a qualified electrician, and anything touching the installation can affect your CoC. Kandua matches electricians too, so the handover is easy.
2) Gas
Gas work is legally restricted to registered gas installers, no exceptions. A good handyman says so on the spot.
3) Plumbing beyond the minor
Minor leak and blockage fixes sit happily at the handyman's flat rate of about R650. Geysers, drainage runs and anything in-wall are plumber territory, where the right pro protects you from water damage.
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 Sunninghill
Handyman budgeting in Sunninghill is refreshingly simple: flat guide rates per task, typically R550 to R750, plus materials. These are estimates from Kandua's latest pricing data, quoted against competitively, with your exact price confirmed upfront.
- 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.
The caps matter: each rate covers the scope shown, and your Pro quotes any extra upfront. Bundling several tasks into one visit remains the easiest saving in home maintenance.
Genuinely helpful handyman FAQs for Sunninghill
What does a handyman cost in Sunninghill?
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 Sunninghill do Kandua handymen cover?
Vetted handymen on Kandua work throughout Sunninghill, including Paulshof, Rivonia border, Kelvin surrounds and Leeukop area. Jess matches you with a pro covering your exact area.
Do handymen in Sunninghill work after hours or weekends?
Many Kandua pros in Sunninghill 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.
