What we do around South Gippsland homes

Leongatha Handyman takes on the repairs, fitting jobs and maintenance that keep homes working across Leongatha, Korumburra, Mirboo North, Meeniyan and the surrounding towns and farms. Most visits cover several jobs at once, so you can send everything on your list and we will quote each item separately.

Inside the house

General home repairs

The everyday fix-it list: loose fixtures, sticking doors, damaged walls, broken hardware and all the small things that build up over time.

Door repairs and installation

Sticking, dropped and rattling doors, worn hinges and latches, cavity sliders, wardrobe doors, draught seals and new internal doors hung to suit older frames.

Plaster and wall patching

Holes, cracks, cornice gaps and water-stained ceilings repaired, primed and painted so the patch blends in, including lath-and-plaster walls in period homes.

Painting and touch-ups

Walls after patching, doors, trims, bathroom ceilings, single rooms and small exterior items, with proper preparation.

Kitchen and cupboard repairs

Dropped doors, stripped hinges, collapsed drawer runners, swollen panels under sinks and new handles.

Tiling repairs and regrouting

Mouldy and crumbling grout renewed, cracked tiles replaced and small tile patches.

Silicone and caulking

Mouldy shower, bath and benchtop silicone removed completely and replaced, plus caulking gaps around trims and windows.

Squeaky boards, loose skirting and quad, transition strips and small floorboard repairs.

Window and flyscreen repairs

The jobs that do not fit anywhere else, plus small tip runs.

What we do not do

We do not do electrical, plumbing, gas, structural building, roofing on steep or two-storey homes, asbestos removal or tree felling. These need licensed or specialist trades. If any item on your list falls into one of these categories, we will tell you so you can book the right person.
