What's included
Handyman Jobs We Cover
Book one job or a list of them in a single visit. Tell us what needs doing and we will quote a fixed price before the technician starts.
Most handyman calls come with something else that needs doing. We cover AC servicing and repair in Downtown, Business Bay and DIFC, put recurring jobs on an annual maintenance contract, and handle the repairs that come up during a move-out inspection.
Plumbing Repairs
Dripping mixers, running cisterns, blocked kitchen and bathroom drains, loose traps and leaking flexible hoses. Dubai water heaters and concealed cisterns often fail at the seals first, so we check the whole run rather than only the visible drip. Any part is shown to you before it is fitted.
- ✓Tap, mixer and shower repairs
- ✓Blocked sink and drain clearing
- ✓Cistern and flush valve fixes
- ✓Leak tracing and pipe sealing
Electrical Repairs
Sockets that stop working, tripping breakers, faulty switches, replacement light fittings and dead extractor fans. We isolate the circuit at the DB before touching anything and test the point again once the repair is finished. Landlord and tenant handover snags are welcome as a single job list.
- ✓Socket and switch replacement
- ✓Tripping breaker fault finding
- ✓Light fitting and downlight swaps
- ✓Extractor fan repairs
Painting and Touch-Ups
Single walls, full rooms, ceilings and skirting. Most Dubai flats need filling and sanding first where picture hooks, curtain brackets and furniture have marked the plaster. We sheet the floor and furniture, prime the patched areas, then paint so the repair does not flash under the finished colour.
- ✓Crack and hole filling
- ✓Wall, ceiling and skirting paint
- ✓Furniture and floor protection
- ✓Touch-ups before handover
Furniture Assembly
Flat-pack wardrobes, beds, desks, dining sets and storage units built to the manufacturer's instructions. Tall units are anchored to the wall where the design calls for it. We bring our own tools, take the packaging out of your way and check drawers, doors and runners before we leave.
- ✓Wardrobes, beds and desks
- ✓Wall anchoring for tall units
- ✓Drawer and door alignment
- ✓Packaging cleared away
TV Mounting
Fixed, tilting and full-motion brackets fitted to blockwork, concrete or plasterboard using the correct fixings for that wall. We agree the height and centre line with you first, level the bracket, then route and tidy the cables. Bring your own bracket or ask us to source a suitable one.
- ✓Correct fixings for the wall type
- ✓Height and centring agreed first
- ✓Cable routing and tidying
- ✓Soundbar and shelf options
Lock Replacement
Cylinder swaps, handle sets, bathroom privacy locks and cupboard locks. Landlords changing locks between tenancies and residents dealing with a stiff or worn cylinder are the two most common calls. We measure the existing lock, show you the replacement before fitting and test the key on both sides.
- ✓Euro cylinder replacement
- ✓Handle and latch sets
- ✓Tenancy changeover lock swaps
- ✓Keys tested before we leave
Shelf Installation
Floating shelves, bracketed shelving, kitchen racks and wardrobe internals. We locate services in the wall before drilling, use fixings rated for the load you describe and set everything level along a marked line. Tell us what will sit on the shelf so we specify the right fixing.
- ✓Floating and bracketed shelves
- ✓Load-appropriate wall fixings
- ✓Levelled to a marked line
- ✓Kitchen and wardrobe racks
Door Repair
Doors that catch on the frame, dropped hinges, failed closers, sliding wardrobe doors off their track and loose handles. Swings and slams often come down to hinge alignment rather than the door itself, so we adjust first and replace only what is genuinely worn. Balcony and bathroom doors included.
- ✓Hinge adjustment and replacement
- ✓Sliding door track repairs
- ✓Door closer servicing
- ✓Handle and latch refitting
Ceiling Fan Installation
New fans fitted, old fans removed and wobbling fans rebalanced. The ceiling box has to carry the moving load, so we check the fixing point before mounting rather than after. Speed control, pull cords and remote receivers are wired and tested, and we run the fan through every speed.
- ✓Fan supply point checked first
- ✓Removal of the old fan
- ✓Remote and speed control wiring
- ✓Balanced and run-tested
Chandelier Installation
Heavy pendants and multi-arm chandeliers over stairwells, dining tables and villa double-height voids. We confirm the ceiling fixing and drop height with you, assemble on the ground where possible, then lift and wire the fitting. Existing chandeliers can be taken down, cleaned and rehung on the same visit.
- ✓Ceiling fixing checked for weight
- ✓Drop height agreed with you
- ✓Assembly, lifting and wiring
- ✓Take-down and rehang option
Silicone and Sealant Work
Old silicone in Dubai bathrooms goes black and lifts at the edges, which lets water behind the tile. We cut out the failed bead, clean and dry the joint, then apply fresh sanitary-grade sealant to baths, shower trays, basins, worktops and kitchen splashbacks. Curing time is explained before we go.
- ✓Old sealant cut out and cleaned
- ✓Bath, tray and basin joints
- ✓Kitchen worktop and splashback
- ✓Curing time explained
