Handyman Kew
Home Repairs for Period and Family Homes in Kew
All Melbourne Handyman carries out home repairs, carpentry, painting and outdoor maintenance in Kew and Kew East. Kew’s larger homes and gardens tend to build up long job lists, and one tradesperson can work through several of them in a single visit.
Handyman Services in Kew
Inside, we repair plaster and cornices, ease and rehang doors, fix timber windows and hardware, replace cracked tiles, regrout and reseal bathrooms, hang artwork, mount TVs, fit shelving and assemble furniture.
Outside, we repair fences and gates, restore and build decks, repair outdoor steps and timber edging, maintain pergolas, and paint weatherboards, trims and verandahs. Our carpentry service handles bigger joinery work, and our deck building service covers new decks and full restorations.
Sloping Blocks, Steps and Decks
Parts of Kew fall away towards the Yarra River and Studley Park, and sloping blocks bring their own maintenance. Timber steps and landings wear and loosen, decks built on a slope need their posts and bearers checked, and garden edging and low timber walls can bow under soil pressure.
We repair and replace worn steps and treads, refix loose handrails, restore decks and replace failed boards. For larger garden structures and retaining walls, see our landscaping service.
Mature Trees and Established Gardens
Kew’s leafy streets and large gardens are part of its appeal, but mature trees are hard on a property. Roots lift paths and edging, falling branches damage fences and pergolas, and shaded timber stays damp and rots faster. We replace damaged fence panels and palings, repair pergolas and timber structures, and relevel pavers and edging lifted by roots. Tree removal and pruning are left to a qualified arborist.
Period Homes and Large Family Homes
Many Kew homes are Federation, Edwardian and interwar houses, often extended over the years. Common jobs include freeing sash and casement windows, re-setting cracked cornices, repairing verandah timber and fretwork, and rehanging heavy doors. In larger family homes, the list usually runs to wardrobe doors, sliding door rollers, loose handrails, shelving and patching around old fixtures.
Parts of Kew sit under heritage overlays. If a job will change how the front of your home looks, check with Boroondara City Council before work starts.
