Recent Handyman reviews in South Melbourne

Ted was amazing! He was so meticulous and professional about every detail. He really ensured our brand new car had a dashcam that was neatly, discretely and nicely tucked away. He even went through in detail the use of the dash cam, set up the settings and guided us through how to use it. He was prompt to the job, showing up with a smile and a can do attitude. Couldn't recommend you enough Ted, well done. You really are a super expert in this area 😀

Kon was easy to communicate with. Arrived on time. Clearly knew what he was doing. Explained to me the steps that were required as well as some of the issues identified along the way. He had all the right equipment. Went further than was required to make sure the job was done correctly. I would definitely use his again and have no hesitation recommending him.

A couple of bolts on our food processor have come loose, I’m not able to get there and the tools aren’t there. They bolts are easily accessible from the outside and a hex is on the other side of the bolt which will need to be held so it doesn’t spin while tightening. I need this job done asap please, it’s the quickest $50.00 you’re likely to make. Literally a 2 minute job. - Due date: Needs to be done on Thursday, 1 December 2022

Thanks so much for coming out to our cafe Marc. We were in a tight spot with being half way through food processing. Marc was able to come on very short notice fortunately and got us back up and running in no time. Friendly, fast and a great service. We hope to have you back. Thanks again Marc
