Handyman services

I'm Luke, a one-man handyman operation based in Coorparoo. I take on the small jobs that are easy to put off: flat-pack furniture, patch-and-paint, lawns, pressure washing, garage clean-outs and solar panel cleaning.

Every job is quoted upfront, so you know the price before I start.

Something not on the list?

If it's a small job around the house, just ask. Shelves, door handles, furniture moves, a gutter-level tidy-up, whatever it is, I'll give you an honest answer about whether it's something I can help with.

How pricing works

  • Most jobs get a fixed-price quote (e.g. "assemble this wardrobe", "mow and edge this yard").
  • Materials are either supplied by you, or I'll grab them and pass them on at cost.
  • Saturday work is by arrangement, with a surcharge.
  • The price is always agreed with you before I start.

Smaller or open-ended jobs can also be done at an hourly rate, currently $50/hr.

Frequently asked questions

How much do you charge?

It depends on the job. Most jobs get a fixed-price quote once I've seen photos or had a look, and smaller or open-ended jobs can be done at an hourly rate instead. Either way, the price is agreed with you before I start.

Do you work weekends?

I'm around Mon–Fri 7am–5pm. Saturdays are by arrangement, with a small surcharge, quoted upfront.

Do you come to my suburb?

I work right across Coorparoo and the southside, including Camp Hill, Carina, Greenslopes, Norman Park and Holland Park. If you’re a bit further out, just ask. See the full service area.

Do you supply materials?

Either. You can buy them, or I can pick them up and pass them on at cost.

Can you take the rubbish away?

Yes, for garage and shed clean-outs. Tip fees are included in your quote.

Are you a licensed builder?

I'm a handyman, not a builder. I take on the jobs around the home that are generally under $3,300 including materials, which covers most odd jobs, repairs and upkeep. For bigger projects, or electrical, plumbing and gas, you need a licensed trade, and I'm happy to recommend someone good.

Can I send photos first?

Yes, text them to 0478 119 616, or describe the job in the enquiry form and I'll get back to you.

Got a job that needs doing?

Call or text Luke on 0478 119 616, or send a few details and a photo. I'll get back to you with an honest answer and a price.
