Handyman Services in Brunswick
Inside, we patch plaster and cornices, rehang and adjust doors, repair timber windows, replace cracked tiles, regrout and reseal wet areas, mount TVs with concealed cables, hang heavy artwork and mirrors, fit shelving and assemble flat-pack furniture.
Outside, we repair fences, side gates and rear gates onto laneways, restore small decks, replace rotted weatherboards and paint trims, doors and fascias. For bigger jobs, our carpentry service and house painters handle joinery repairs and full repaints.
Workers' Cottages, Terraces and Weatherboards
Much of Brunswick is made up of narrow Victorian and Edwardian workers’ cottages, single-fronted terraces and timber weatherboard homes. After a century or more, the same repairs come up again and again:
- Timber that has weathered. Rotted weatherboards, window sills and door jambs, especially on the south and west sides.
- Sticking doors and windows. Old frames move, and doors bind or stop latching.
- Cracked lath and plaster. Older ceilings and walls crack and sag, and patches need care so they do not show.
- Tired rear additions. Lean-tos and back extensions often have soft floors, leaking seals and worn fittings.
We repair original timber where it can be saved and replace it with matching profiles where it cannot.
Laneways, Small Blocks and Access
Many Brunswick homes back onto bluestone laneways, with rear gates, sheds and garages that take a beating. We repair and rehang rear gates, replace fence palings and posts, and fix shed doors. Small blocks and narrow side paths also affect access, so let us know about stairs, parking and rear access when you book.
New Apartments and Townhouses
Along Sydney Road, Lygon Street and the Upfield line, newer apartments and townhouses bring a different list: TV mounting, shelving, curtain rods, flat-pack furniture, and settlement cracks or sticking doors in the first few years. For work on common property, check with your owners corporation first.
