Tenant Damage Repairs in North Shore Auckland

Small tenant damage repairs we can help with

A move-out check can find more than one fault. Some jobs are small, but they still need a sound fix.

We can often group suitable jobs into one visit. This can make a mixed repair list much easier to plan.

Common jobs can include:

• Small wall holes and dents.
• Minor wall patching.
• Loose door handles.
• Latches and hinges.
• Minor door adjustment.
• Damaged skirting and trim.
• Small timber repairs.
• Loose non-regulated fittings.
• Minor fence and gate repairs.
• Selected deck board repairs.
• Small outdoor timber faults.

Send photos if you are not sure about an item. We will tell you if another trade is a better fit.

For other small jobs, see our small home repairs service.

What to do after an inspection or move-out

Start with the full repair list. Do not send each small job as a separate request.

Give each item a number. Match that number to one or two clear photos.

Add the room or area for each job. Add a rough size when it helps show the scale.

A wide photo can show access and nearby fittings. A close photo can show the fault itself.

This helps us sort simple jobs from larger faults. It also helps us plan tools and parts.

Property managers can use our end-of-tenancy inspection guide when they build the list.

Fair wear and tear and tenant damage

Tenancy Services explains that fair wear and tear comes from normal use over time. Careless or intentional damage is treated in a different way.

Shore Home Repairs does not decide who caused the damage. We also do not decide who must pay.

We repair agreed jobs after the work has been approved. Keep photos, reports, quotes, and invoices if you may need them later.

If there is a dispute, use Tenancy Services guidance. You may also need advice that fits your own case.

When a handyman is the right fit

Many small faults fit normal handyman work. The right fix still depends on what we find.

We can check minor wall damage, trim, doors, gates, and selected timber faults. We will confirm the scope before work starts.

Some jobs need a licensed or specialist trade. We will flag those items instead of taking on work outside our scope.

Jobs that may need another trade include:

• Electrical faults or new wiring.
• Plumbing work.
• Structural damage.
• Major water leaks.
• Hidden damp or rot.
• Wide areas of failed timber.
• Work that needs consent.
• Restricted building work.
• Specialist glass or floor work.

See our handyman versus licensed tradie guide for more detail.

Help for property managers

Send the inspection list, photos, access notes, and the jobs you want priced. Mark urgent items so they stand out.

Tell us if the home is vacant or still occupied. Add any date that affects the work plan.

If the small jobs fit our scope, we can group them in one quote. We can also split out jobs for other trades.

For repeat upkeep, use our rental property maintenance service. It is a better fit for ongoing repair lists.

Help for landlords

You may have one fault or a long list after a tenancy ends. Send all known jobs at the same time.

Photos can help with wall marks, loose hardware, trim, or gate damage. A wide shot can also show access.

We will confirm which jobs fit our scope. If we find a larger fault, we will explain the next step.

If new tenants are due soon, see our new tenant preparation guide.

Help for tenants

If you rent the home, check with the landlord or property manager before you book repair work. Make sure the job has approval.

Send the approved list and clear photos. We can then check if the work fits our scope.

We do not promise a bond result. Bond issues depend on the facts and the people in the tenancy.

Access to an occupied rental

A vacant home is often easier to book. We still need clear key, lockbox, or access notes.

For an occupied rental, the landlord must follow the entry rules. Tenancy Services says at least 24 hours' notice is usually needed for necessary repairs.

That work is normally done between 8am and 7pm. Other rules can apply for urgent work or an agreed time.

Tell us if the home is occupied. We can then plan the visit within the approved access time.

What to send for a quote

A clear request saves back-and-forth. You do not need to write a long report.

Please send:

• The North Shore suburb.
• Your role.
• A numbered repair list.
• A wide photo for each area.
• A close photo of each fault.
• A rough size when useful.
• Access notes.
• Whether the home is vacant.
• Any key date for the work.
• Known paint, part, or material details.

For wall damage, add a ruler when it is safe to do so. This gives us a clear sense of size.

For a door or gate, send one full photo. Then add a close shot of the hinge, latch, handle, or timber.

If there are many small jobs, send them in one list. We can then review the whole scope at once.
