That growing list of small repairs isn't going to fix itself.
John's Handyman Service clears the backlog in one visit — door handles, leaking taps, cracked walls and gutters — insured, reliable, and done properly the first time.
Quick answer: John's Handyman Service handles small home repairs — taps, doors, gutters, cracks — for a $360 minimum (4 hrs on site, $90/hr) or $640 flat for a full day (4+ hrs), labour-only with materials charged extra, with most jobs booked within the week.
The list that never gets shorter
Every home builds up a list eventually — a dripping tap that's been ‘on the list’ for months, a door that sticks every winter, a gutter that overflows in heavy rain. None of these jobs are urgent on their own, which is exactly why they never get done between work and everything else on a weekend. Left alone, small problems compound: a slow leak becomes water damage, a blocked gutter becomes an overflow into the eaves, a sticking door becomes a door that doesn't close at all. The frustration isn't really about any one job — it's about carrying a mental list that never gets shorter.
In 5 years working across Preston and the surrounding suburbs, the most common calls are leaking taps, sticking doors and blocked gutters — small jobs that are quick to fix properly but easy to keep putting off.

Common questions
Do you charge per job or per visit?
Per visit, not per job — that's the point. Most half-day visits cover 3 to 5 small jobs, not just one, so it's worth listing everything at once when you book.
What if there's more wrong than I thought once you're there?
We'll tell you before we start anything extra — no surprise work, no surprise cost. If a job needs more time than quoted, you'll know and agree to it first.
Do I need to buy the materials?
No. We bring what's needed and quote materials separately so you know the full cost before we start.
Are you insured for this kind of work?
Yes — John's Handyman Service is fully insured for general repairs and maintenance work.
Imagine ticking off that whole list in one visit.
A dripping tap wastes water every day it's ignored. A blocked gutter can send water into your eaves the next time it rains hard. None of these get cheaper by waiting.
If that list of small jobs has been sitting there for weeks, booking a free quote is the right move.
