General home repairs, maintenance and odd jobs across Cairns — no job too small, with honest pricing and a money-back guarantee.
G'day, I'm El — your local Cairns handyman for all the odd jobs, repairs and maintenance that pile up around the house. From a squeaky door and a wobbly fence to a full tidy-up before a rental inspection, I take on the jobs that are too small for a big contractor but too fiddly to do yourself. No job is too small — if it needs fixing, hanging, mounting or assembling, I can probably do it this week.
A lot of Cairns homeowners end up with a list of little jobs that never quite gets done: a fly screen with a hole, a gate that won't latch, shelves that need putting up, a ceiling fan that wobbles. I'm happy to come and knock off the whole list in one visit, which usually works out cheaper than calling a different tradie for each task. I turn up on time, bring the common fixings and tools, and leave the place as tidy as I found it.
I work on homes, units, investment properties and small commercial sites across Cairns and the Northern Beaches. For landlords and property managers I can do routine maintenance, bond-clean touch-ups and repairs between tenancies, with photos and a quick turnaround so you don't lose time between leases. I'm fully insured and I give honest, upfront pricing — you'll know the cost before I start, and there are no hidden call-out fees.
If you're not sure whether your job is 'handyman' work or needs a licensed trade, just ask — I'll tell you straight. I handle general repairs, carpentry, fixing and mounting, and I'll refer you to a trusted local tradie for anything that needs a specialist licence.
My work is guaranteed: if you're not happy, you don't pay. That's how I've built my reputation in Cairns — by doing the job right the first time and treating every home like it's my own. Whether it's one broken thing or a list of twenty, message me or call and I'll let you know what's involved and when I can get there.
Specific jobs and repairs I handle across Cairns.
Based in Cairns, I travel across the city and Northern Beaches.
Most small jobs are charged by the hour — typically $70–$110 per hour, or a flat price for a known task. A list of several small jobs done in one visit usually works out cheaper than a separate tradie for each. I'll confirm the price before I start.
Most handyman jobs across Cairns are booked within 1–3 days. Same-day is sometimes possible for urgent small repairs — call and I'll let you know.
There's no hidden call-out fee within the Cairns area. For very small single jobs there may be a minimum charge — I'll always tell you up front before you commit.
Yes. I do routine maintenance, repairs between tenancies and bond touch-ups, with photos and quick turnaround so you don't lose time between leases.
