Do you show fixed prices?
No, we work on a quote-based process rather than fixed prices. Every job is a little different, so we ask for the details and photos, review what's involved, and then give you a clear quote before any work starts. That way you know the cost upfront with no surprises.
What small jobs can you help with?
Plenty of everyday ones — loose handles, sticking doors, TV mounting, flat pack furniture assembly, and small wall repairs. We also handle fence and gate fixes, deck board replacement, gutter cleaning, and general odd jobs. Not sure if your job fits? Send the details and we will let you know.
Do you do plumbing or electrical work?
Regulated electrical, plumbing, gasfitting, drainlaying and restricted building work is handled only by appropriately licensed tradespeople — not as part of our basic handyman service. If your job needs a licensed professional, we'll tell you before any work proceeds and can help point you in the right direction.
Do you work with landlords or property managers?
Yes. We regularly help landlords and property managers with rental property repair lists, pre-tenant repairs, move-out touch-ups, and general maintenance between tenancies. Send through the list and photos, and we'll review the jobs and come back with a clear quote.
Do you serve all of Auckland?
We focus on North Shore Auckland — suburbs like Browns Bay, Long Bay, Albany, Mairangi Bay, Milford, Takapuna, Glenfield, Devonport and nearby areas. For jobs outside our main area, send us the details and we'll confirm whether we can help.
Can I send photos before getting a quote?
Yes, and we encourage it. Photos help us understand the job, work out whether it's a basic handyman task or one for a licensed tradesperson, and quote faster and more accurately. Include them with your job details when you request a quote.
How much does a handyman job cost in North Shore Auckland?
We work on a quote-based process, so there are no set hourly rates published — every job is a little different. That said, most small handyman jobs (loose handles, door adjustments, minor repairs, TV mounting) take between one and three hours of hands-on time. Once you send us the details and photos, we come back with a clear quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises on the day.
Should I DIY or hire a handyman?
A good rule of thumb: if a job is straightforward, low-risk, and you have the right tools, DIY can work fine. If it involves working at height, risks damaging plumbing or wiring, or the repair needs to last, it's usually worth getting someone in to do it right the first time. If you're not sure, send us the details — we'll be upfront about whether your job genuinely needs a licensed tradesperson, a handyman, or a practical set of hands.
How long does a handyman job take?
Most small indoor jobs — a sticking door, TV wall mounting, flat pack furniture assembly, minor repairs — take between one and three hours. Outdoor work like fence repairs or deck board replacement can take a half-day or full day depending on the scope. When we provide your quote, we'll include a realistic time estimate so you can plan around the work.
Are you licensed and insured?
In New Zealand, general handyman work doesn't require a trade licence. For any regulated work — electrical, plumbing, gasfitting, drainlaying, or restricted building work — we only use appropriately licensed tradespeople, as required by law. We'll always tell you upfront if your job needs a licensed professional before any work proceeds.
What can I do to prevent this from happening again?
Outdoor timber benefits from staining or sealing every two to three years. Gutters are worth clearing once or twice a year — particularly after autumn. For indoor wear and tear, fixing small issues early almost always prevents a bigger and more expensive repair later.

Some Jobs Need Licensed Tradespeople

Regulated electrical, plumbing, gasfitting, drainlaying, and restricted building work is handled only by appropriately licensed tradespeople. If your job requires a licensed professional, we'll let you know before work proceeds.
