01 / THE HOMES IN GARRAN

Why Garran homeowners and landlords call us

Garran sits on the western side of the Woden Valley, close to the ANU Medical School, with a mix of detached homes and units. The medical precinct nearby keeps a steady rental population moving through the suburb, which shapes the kind of work we do here. Alongside the usual homeowner jobs, there is a regular stream of between-tenancy and make-good maintenance.

For owners, the list is familiar for established Woden Valley housing: doors that stick, plaster that moves with the seasons, gutters that fill from mature trees. For landlords and property managers, it is exit-report items, wall and door repairs, and the quick make-good work that gets a property inspection-ready and back on the market.

We are a short drive from Garran, based in Torrens, so coming to you is not an out-of-the-way trip, whether it is one job at home or a full turnover on a rental. We give you a straight price before any work starts.

02 / WHAT WE DO

Handyman services we offer in Garran

These are the jobs we handle for homes and rentals in Garran and the surrounding Woden Valley streets. If your job is not on the list, call and ask.

Property Maintenance for Landlords

Garran has a strong rental population close to the ANU Medical School precinct, and tenancies turn over regularly. We handle the between-tenancy and property manager work: touch-up painting, door and fixture repairs, and the items an exit report flags, done in one visit on one invoice.

End-of-Lease and Make-Good Repairs

Picture-hook holes, scuffed walls, loose handles, a door that will not latch. We handle the quick make-good repairs that get a Garran rental inspection-ready without a full repaint. Tell us what the report listed and we work through it.

Doors and Locks

Sticking doors, dragging external doors, sliding doors off their track, locks that no longer catch. We repair, adjust, and re-hang internal and external doors, replace worn rollers, and fit deadbolts and handles across Garran homes and units.

Painting and Wall Repairs

Interior and exterior painting, wall patching, plaster repairs, and crack filling ahead of the paint going on. A single room, a between-tenancy refresh, or the whole home.

Gutter Cleaning and Repairs

Mature trees around Garran fill gutters fast through autumn. We clear leaf build-up, flush downpipes, re-fix loose brackets, and flag anything that needs attention on single-storey residential properties.

General Maintenance and Installations

TV wall mounts, shelving, picture hanging, flat-pack assembly, appliance installs, and the odd jobs that pile up around a home or unit. Tell us the list and we work through it in one visit.

Carpentry and Timber Repairs

Shelving, skirting, handrails, timber trim and general carpentry repairs. Practical handyman carpentry that does not need a licensed builder.

Flat Pack Assembly and TV Mounting

Flat-pack wardrobes, beds, desks and outdoor settings assembled, levelled and anchored to the wall, plus TV wall mounts and shelving. We bring the tools and take the packaging away.
