Not every job fits a category. Gutter brackets, loose handrails, damaged cornices, skirting boards that need fixing, minor plumbing like taps and washers, roof repairs, dryer installations. The list goes on. Landlords and property managers across Canberra use Polytechnitis for ongoing maintenance work because we show up, do what we quote and don't disappear between jobs.
If your job isn't listed above, call us on 0424705056 and describe what you need. If we can do it, we'll say so. If we can't, we'll point you toward someone who can.
Gutter Cleaning
Clogged gutters are one of the most ignored problems on a Canberra property. Most people don't think about them until water is flowing over the fascia or pooling against the foundation. Our team clears blocked gutters, removes debris, checks downpipes and flushes the system so water flows the way it should.
Peak season runs September through March, but gutters can block any time of year.
Door Repairs
Garage doors that won't open, sliding doors jumping their tracks, roller doors that grind and stick. We handle all of it. Door repairs are one of the most common home repair requests in Canberra, with combined search volume across garage door repair, sliding door repair and general door repair sitting at nearly 400 searches a month.
We repair frames, tracks, rollers and hardware for both residential and commercial properties.
Pressure Washing & Driveway Cleaning
Driveways, paths, concrete, decking and external walls build up grime and algae fast in Canberra's climate. Our pressure washing service strips it back properly. Not a quick rinse.
Whether it's a driveway that hasn't been touched in five years or a patio that needs a clean before a sale or rental inspection, the results are worth seeing.
Tile Repairs
Cracked tiles, loose grout, bathroom tiles that have come away from the wall. Tile repair is fiddly work that most people put off. We handle tile repairs in bathrooms, kitchens, laundries and outdoor areas across Canberra.
Replacement tiles are sourced to match where possible, and the repair is done to last, not just to look right for a few weeks.
Painting & Wall Repairs
Interior painting, full room repaints, exterior touch-ups, wall patching, plaster repairs and crack filling. We do both the prep work and the painting, not one or the other. Customers come back specifically for painting jobs after seeing the finish on a wall repair.
If the surface needs patching first, it gets patched properly before a drop of paint goes on.
Flat Pack Assembly & TV Mounting
IKEA runs, flat pack furniture that's been sitting in the box for three months, TV wall mounts you haven't got around to, picture rails and shelving.
Our team gets through all of it quickly and properly. Brackets go into studs or masonry, not just drywall. Furniture is assembled square and solid. One visit can cover several jobs at once.
Lock Installation
Deadbolt installation, lock replacement, broken lock repair, rekeying and general door security work. We install and replace most standard residential locks across Canberra. If you're not sure whether your job needs a locksmith or a handyman, call and ask.
We'll be straight with you rather than take on work that falls outside scope.
Outdoor & Garden Maintenance
Fence repairs, deck maintenance, yard levelling, paving, concrete work, garden cleanup and general outdoor maintenance. We've sorted backyards, laid pavers and repaired fences across Canberra and Queanbeyan. Outdoor work is seasonal.
If you're planning ahead for summer or getting a property ready for inspection, book early.
