Handyman in Wellington
ODD JOB SERVICES IN WELLINGTON
Small jobs that still need doing properly
Southerleigh provides handyman services in Wellington for smaller repairs, installations and modifications around the home. If you're looking for a handyman in Wellington to take care of those jobs that don't justify calling a specialist trade, we can help.
Not every job around a home is big enough to justify calling a specialist tradie. Whether it's a cupboard door that won't close properly, a flatpack that needs assembling, a handrail that needs installing or a shelf that has to be put on a wall - they still need someone to do it properly.
Homes also accumulate a steady stream of smaller jobs through normal wear and tear, accidental damage and the changing needs of the people living in them. Furniture gets damaged, hinges wear out, fittings come loose, and something bought for the house may need assembling or modifying before it can be put to use.
Sometimes these jobs build up gradually; at other times, there's a reason to get them all sorted at once. Moving into a new home, preparing a property for sale, getting a house ready for tenants or carrying out work between tenancies can turn a handful of small jobs into a surprisingly long list.
Southerleigh takes care of these smaller repairs, installations and modifications. We look at what needs doing, work out the practical solution and get on with it — whether it's one job that has been sitting on the to-do list for too long, or an accumulation of smaller jobs that need to be sorted at the same time..
A practical approach to the smaller jobs
There's no particular satisfaction in leaving a list of small repairs until they become a bigger problem. Whether it's one job or several things around the house that need attention, a handyman may be just what you need to get them sorted.
Furniture assembly & repairs
Flatpack furniture, shelves, cupboards and other fittings don't always go together as neatly as the instructions suggest. We can assemble, repair, adjust and modify furniture and fittings where a practical repair makes more sense than replacing them.
Doors, windows & hardware
Small problems with doors, windows and hardware can be surprisingly annoying. We can replace or adjust hinges, handles, catches and other hardware, carry out minor window repairs and replace windows where appropriate.
Shelves, handrails & wall-mounted fittings
Installing something securely is often more important than simply getting it onto the wall. We install shelves, handrails, grab rails and other fixtures, taking account of the wall or structure they're being fixed to and how they'll be used.
The odd jobs that don't fit neatly anywhere else
Some jobs simply don't belong to one particular trade. A damaged fitting needs modifying, something needs repairing before another job can begin, or an awkward little problem needs someone to work out how to fix it. These are often the jobs we're asked to look at.
If there's a practical solution, our handyman will look for it. And if a job needs a specialist trade, we'll tell you rather than take on work that isn't ours to do.
Sometimes a small job leads to something more
Sometimes a small job turns out not to be quite so small. A paint bubble may reveal water damage to the plaster behind it or a leak might be discovered when replacing hinges on a bathroom cupboard. What starts as a handyman job can sometimes point to a problem that needs more substantial attention.
When that happens, we can often deal with the problem as part of the same job. Our other services include GIB & plaster repair, interior painting, exterior painting, tiling & tile repair, and gutters, drains & GVBs.
