The reasons odd jobs never get done
These are the four things Canberra homeowners tell us about most. Each one is fixable.
No-shows and dead phones
You book someone in, then hear nothing. We return calls within the hour during business hours and turn up when we said we would.
The list keeps growing
Small jobs pile up for months because no single trade covers them all. We work through the whole list in one booking.
Three trades, three quotes
Chasing a painter, a roofer and a paver for a handful of small jobs costs more in time than the work does. One person, one invoice.
Surprises on the invoice
The number at the end should be the number at the start. You get a fixed price agreed before any work begins.
We fix all four the same way: turn up, quote straight, finish the job.

Handyman Job Estimator
Get a ballpark for your Canberra handyman visit before you book — based on how many jobs you have and how big they are. You still get a firm fixed quote before any work starts.
One handyman vs three separate trades
A short list of small jobs usually means chasing three trades for three quotes. Here is the difference one call makes.
| Canberra Handyman Services | Booking separate trades | |
|---|---|---|
| Quotes needed | One quote covers the whole list | A separate quote from each trade |
| Visits to book | One visit, one invoice | One visit per trade, often weeks apart |
| Price certainty | Fixed price agreed before we start | Hourly rates that can run over |
| Who shows up | Fully insured, police cleared, WWVP registered | Varies by trade and by tradesperson |

"Steve gave me a fixed price on the phone and it didn't budge. Patched two walls, rehung a sticking door and cleared the gutters all in one visit. Turned up on time and left the place spotless."
"Called about a leaking ceiling and had a callback within the hour. Found the blocked gutter that was causing it, fixed a cracked tile and the leak's gone. Honest and quick."
"Assembled two flat-pack wardrobes, mounted the TV into the studs and anchored the lot so it can't tip. Tidy, on time and cheaper than I expected."

Handyman Canberra: questions people ask before they call
The six things people ask before they call. If yours is not here, just ask.
How much does a handyman cost in Canberra?
Most standard jobs across the Canberra metro area are $150–$180 depending on scope and complexity. You get a fixed-price quote before any work begins, no hidden surprises, and bundling several jobs into one visit usually works out cheaper than booking separate trades.
Can you do several different jobs in the one visit?
Yes, that's the whole point. We handle a mixed list (say painting, a roof leak and some paving) in a single visit with one invoice, so you don't have to line up three different trades or wait for three separate quotes.
Are you NDIS friendly?
Yes. We hold an ACT Working with Vulnerable People (WWVP) registration and Police Clearance, and we're fully insured for public liability. That makes us a good fit for NDIS participants, support coordinators and families for accessibility and safety work such as grab rails and ramps.
Are you insured and qualified?
We're fully insured for public liability, Police Cleared, WWVP registered, and hold ABN 25 400 566 062, with over 10 years' experience in repairs and maintenance. Handyman scope covers repairs and maintenance; licensed electrical, plumbing and major structural work is referred to the right licensed trade.
How quickly will you get back to me?
We return phone calls within the hour during business hours, and reply to emails the same day. Email is great for sending photos of the job: a suburb, a plain-words description and a couple of photos let us quote faster.
Which areas do you cover?
We're based in Torrens and cover the whole Canberra ACT metro: Belconnen, Gungahlin, Woden Valley, Weston Creek, Tuggeranong and the Inner South, plus Queanbeyan and nearby NSW border towns like Googong and Jerrabomberra.
Still not sure?
Call and ask. We would rather tell you it is a ten-minute fix than sell you a job you do not need.
