Small-scale Tiling Jobs
At HomeFixers although we are not specialist tilers (and we will turn away any jobs that are too large) we do many small-scale tiling jobs throughout Cape Town. The type of jobs that we address are small jobs like replacing one or two broken (or a loose) tiles, re-tiling a small bathroom or kitchen or simply cleaning and reapplying grouting to exist tiling. We have several guys in the team who are extremely competent tilers and we can offer you a competent and professional service for the kind of jobs that specialist tiling companies would not be interested in.
Call us now if you have any small tiling jobs!
Damp Proofing Solutions
At HomeFixers some of our most common jobs are related to damp; an issue that just about every Cape Town home owner has had to deal with at some point. Our team is experienced and well trained, and we will get to the source of the problem (and not just slap a coat of paint over the problem area). We will get to the heart of the issue and ensure that proper dampproofing solutions are put in place.
Give us a ring and we will be there in a flash to help you sort it out.
Door Hanging and Refurbishment
Hanging doors can be a tricky job without the right tools and experience. Our handymen have loads of experience with doors. Whether your door needs to be refurbished or whether you want to install a new door or security gate completely, give us a ring to help you sort it out.
The installation of a new door is generally a relatively quick job for an experienced professional. A refurbishment really depends on the state of the door, but generally speaking handymen will go to site, remove the door, lathe and sand it down, varnish the door and hang it all within a few hours.
So if you want new doors hung, or if some of your current doors could use the refurbishment or a security upgrade, give us a call
Geyser Blankets
With power costs continually rising, and South Africa's current energy crisis, the need to reduce electricity consumption has become a high priority for many of us in Cape Town. There are a number of ways in which we can help you to save electricity, but the simplest and most effective in most homes is the geyser blanket.
By insulating your hot water cylinder with a geyser blanket you are able to reduce electricity consumption by approximately 50% (without c hanging the thermostat). This is an effective and inexpensive solution, and it should be the first measure taken to reduce electricity consumption in all homes. We can go further and insulate the hot water pipes leading away from the geyser for additional energy savings.
Call us now to have us come and insulate the geysers at your home or your office.
