Local things worth knowing
- Timber decks and stairs on Queenslanders need regular checks after a wet summer — soft treads and loose balustrades are common findings.
- In Queensland, building work over the licensing threshold must go to a QBCC-licensed trade, and electrical or plumbing work always does.
- Rental repairs need the owner's approval first, so tenants should go through the agent before booking.

Handyman in Melbourne: common questions
Is there a minimum charge?
Most charge a minimum of one or two hours, so it pays to group several small jobs into one visit.
Do they supply materials?
Usually yes, with a pickup fee, or you can supply your own. Confirm which when you book.
What can't a handyman legally do?
Licensed electrical, plumbing, gas and larger structural work. A good handyman will tell you when to call a licensed trade.
