small builds & Property repairs

We offer practical help with small builds and general property repairs that don’t require a large contractor. These jobs are charged hourly, with pricing based on the time required after a site visit.

Scope of Work

We carry out small builds and general property repairs for jobs that do not require a qualified builder and/or council consent. Any work that requires a qualified or Licensed Building Practitioner or building consent is outside the scope of what we offer.

Examples of small builds & repairs

✔️ Fence and gate repairs

✔️ Small outdoor structures

✔️ Timber repairs and replacements

✔️ General property fixes

✔️ Repairs identified during lawn or garden work

How hourly pricing works

Small builds and repairs are charged at an hourly rate because the time required can vary depending on the job. A site visit allows us to assess the work properly and prepare an accurate quote.

Pricing takes into account:

  • Size and complexity of the job

  • Condition of existing structures

  • Access and materials involved

  • Time needed to complete the work properly

Once assessed:

  • We review the scope of work on site

  • A written quote is prepared based on the estimated time required.

  • Pricing is confirmed when you accept the quote via the link in the quote email

  • You’re taken to a booking page to choose a day and time that suits you.

Work is scheduled once your booking is confirmed.
