Frequently asked questions 👇
Quick guidance and answers to your questions about General home repairs in Cape Town
Expect a call-out of R450 to R750, labour of R300 to R550 per hour, and day rates of R1,600 to R4,800. A typical ‘whole list’ visit covering five to ten small jobs lands between R900 and R2,500 all-in — dramatically cheaper than booking each job separately.
The everyday list: sticking doors and windows, loose handles and hinges, cracked plaster, silicone and sealing, hanging and mounting, tap washers, gate latches, skirtings, and small carpentry. If it’s a household fix that doesn’t legally require a registered electrician, plumber, or gas installer, it belongs on the list.
Almost always — the call-out fee is identical for one job or ten, and half-day or full-day rates beat per-job pricing for long lists. Keeping a running list and booking when it’s worth a visit is the single biggest saving in home maintenance. A vetted pro serving Cape Town can confirm the details on site before any work starts.
Electrical installation work (new points, circuits, DB work) needs a registered electrician and a Certificate of Compliance; gas installations need a registered gas installer; and geysers, drainage, and supply plumbing belong with a qualified plumber. A trustworthy pro flags these on your list instead of quietly doing them.
Photograph every item and send the full list upfront — pros quote tighter when they can plan the sequence and bring the right materials in one trip. Mention sizes, wall types, and anything already attempted, and mark your priorities in case the day fills up. For homeowners in Cape Town, comparing a few quotes through Kandua is the quickest way to see real local pricing.
