Repairs, maintenance, installations and the odd jobs that keep your home or property working properly.
At Need That Done?, we take care of the repairs, installations, maintenance and improvement jobs that often sit on the to-do list for far too long. Whether it is a single small repair or a number of jobs around the property, Kevin and Clive provide a practical, owner-operated service from assessment through to completion.
From a single family photograph to large mirrors, artwork and gallery walls, we can measure, position and securely hang items throughout your home or office. We take care to achieve the correct height, spacing and alignment while using appropriate fixings for the wall type and weight of the item.
Damaged, leaking or poorly aligned gutters can quickly lead to water damage around a property. We undertake minor gutter repairs, realignment, replacement of damaged sections and fittings, sealing of leaking joints and general maintenance to help keep rainwater flowing where it should.
Doors that stick, scrape, do not close properly or simply need replacing can make everyday use frustrating. We can hang and adjust internal and external doors, replace hinges and hardware, fit or replace locks and handles, and carry out minor repairs to door frames and fittings.
We can assist with straightforward electrical maintenance such as replacing damaged plug sockets, switches, light fittings and other minor electrical components where the work falls within the appropriate scope. More extensive electrical work, rewiring, distribution-board work or work requiring certification should be undertaken by a suitably qualified and registered electrician.
Leaking taps, faulty fittings, damaged flexible hoses, toilet components and other small plumbing problems can often be resolved without a major plumbing project. We can assist with a wide range of minor repairs, replacements and maintenance items around the home.
Whether you need a new irrigation system for a small garden or modifications to an existing installation, we can assist with irrigation pipework, drip irrigation, sprinklers, valves and basic control systems. We can also investigate and repair common irrigation leaks and distribution problems.
We can install domestic water-filtration equipment for drinking water and general household applications. This can include sediment filters, carbon filters, under-counter systems, filter housings and associated plumbing, as well as replacement or modification of existing filtration installations.
Make everyday tasks around the home simpler with practical automation solutions. We can assist with the installation and setup of compatible smart switches, smart lighting, timers, sensors, Wi-Fi-connected devices and other home-automation equipment.
We can build or improve outdoor braai and fire-pit areas using practical, durable materials suited to the application. From simple freestanding fire pits to more permanent brick or masonry features, we can help create a functional outdoor entertaining space.
From touch-ups and individual rooms to smaller interior and exterior painting projects, we can take care of surface preparation, patching, masking and painting. Particular attention is given to neat preparation and finishing, because a good paint job depends as much on the preparation as it does on the final coat.
We undertake smaller paving projects and repairs, including replacing loose or damaged pavers, correcting localised settlement, extending existing paved areas and carrying out smaller pathways, patios and utility areas.
Broken or cracked panes in windows and doors can be measured, removed and replaced with suitable replacement glass. We can also attend to associated putty, beading and minor frame repairs where required.
A failed or underperforming pool pump can quickly affect circulation and water quality. We can remove and replace pool pumps, reconnect existing pipework where appropriate, check for obvious leaks and ensure the replacement pump is operating correctly.
Not every maintenance job fits neatly into a category. If something around your home or property is broken, loose, leaking, unfinished, badly fitted or simply needs sorting out, send us a photo and a short description.
