Northern Rivers NSW

Part of our handyman and carpentry work.

Small repairs and general handyman work

Small household repairs are most of what Homesmith does: doors that stick, loose handles, tired cupboard hinges and drawers that will not close. The work is done by a qualified carpenter across Bangalow, Ballina and the wider Northern Rivers.

We fix them properly, in one visit, for a price agreed before we start. Send the whole list and we will bring the right fittings with us.

Send the job list and we tell you how many days it looks like. Time left over goes to whatever else you point at.

Worth saving the list up for the one visit.

12 month workmanship guarantee · Fully insured · The place left cleaner than when we arrived

Detail

Why these repairs come back

A door that sticks in February and swings freely in August is telling you about the house rather than the door. The fix is usually at the hinge side rather than the plane.

Timber near the coast moves a lot. Hardwood frames swell through the wet months, screws work loose and plated hardware corrodes. Where that has happened we refix into sound timber and replace the fittings.

It is worth saving jobs up. Three of them in a single visit costs you one booking rather than three.

Common questions

Small repairs and general handyman questions we get asked

Is there a minimum charge?

A half day, from $420 + GST. Send the whole list rather than one job, because the time is booked either way.

Do you do plumbing or electrical work?

No. Licensed trades only for those, and we will tell you plainly when a job needs one.

Can you do a few different jobs in one visit?

That is the idea. Three jobs, one visit, and no call out fee. Send photos and we will bring the right fixings first time.

How does pricing work?

Send the list and we will tell you whether it is a half day or how many days it looks like, from $420 + GST for a half day or $760 + GST for a full day, for one smith, fixed before we start. If there is time left over, we keep working down whatever else is on your list.
