Complete Handyman Services for Your Home

Look, your home needs attention now and then. Things break, wear out, or just need updating. That’s normal. What’s not normal is struggling to find someone who’ll actually show up and do the work properly. That’s where we come in.

Our Core Services Include:

General Repairs & Maintenance

The everyday stuff that drives you mad – squeaky doors, loose handles, cracked tiles, holes in walls. We fix it all without fuss.

Plumbing Work

Dripping taps, toilet repairs, blocked drains, geyser problems. Water issues need sorting quickly before they cause real damage, and we get that.

Electrical Services

Extra plugs, light fittings, whatever you need. We do it safely and by the book, so you’re not lying awake wondering if something’s going to catch fire.

Carpentry & Woodwork

 Built-in cupboards, door repairs, window frames, decking. If it’s made of wood and needs fixing or building, we’ve done it before.

Painting & Decorating

One room or the whole house, doesn’t matter. We prep properly, which is why our paint jobs actually last.

Tiling Services

Bathrooms, kitchens, floors. We’re fussy about getting tiles level and grout lines straight, because wonky tiling looks terrible.

Property Maintenance

Regular maintenance stops small problems becoming expensive disasters. Good for homeowners, essential for landlords.

Emergency Repairs

Burst pipes at 10pm? Electrical fault on a Sunday? Ring us. We’re around when things go wrong.

Why Choose Abethu Builders for Your Handyman Needs

We Actually Show Up

Seriously. We’re not those guys who promise to come Tuesday and then you never hear from them again. If we book it, we’re there.

One Call Does It All

Why ring around trying to find an electrician, a plumber, and a carpenter when we can handle the lot? Save yourself the headache.

We Know Durban Homes

The humidity here does funny things to wood. Summer storms test your roof. Different areas have different building styles. We’ve worked in all of them, so we know what we’re dealing with.

No Funny Business With Pricing

We tell you what it costs before we start. No surprise bills, no “Oh actually it’s going to be double” once we’re halfway through.

We Don't Do Bodge Jobs

Quick fixes that fall apart in six months? Not our style. We fix things properly so you’re not calling us back for the same problem.

Insured & Qualified

You want someone who knows what they’re doing and won’t leave you liable if something goes wrong. We’re covered, you’re protected.

We Clean Up

Your house won’t look like a bomb site when we leave. We put down dust sheets, clear up our mess, and take the rubbish with us.

How Our Handyman Service Works

Good renovations don’t happen by accident. We follow a clear process that keeps your project on track and reduces stress.

Step 1
Get in Touch

Ring us on +27 79 849 3716 or email info@abethubuilders.co.za. Tell us what needs doing.

Step 2
We Work Out the Cost

Small jobs, we can usually price over the phone. Bigger stuff, we'll pop round and have a look. Either way, you get a proper written quote.

Step 3
Book It In

Happy with the price? Let's find a day that works for you. We'll confirm the day before so you're not waiting around wondering if we're coming.

Step 4
We Do the Work

We turn up when we said we would, with everything we need. Get the job done without taking over your whole house.

Step 5
Check You're Happy

Before we pack up, we show you what we've done. Not happy? We sort it out then and there.

Step 6
Final
It's Guaranteed

If something goes wrong with our work, we come back and fix it. Simple as that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Real emergencies – burst pipes, electrical hazards – we’re there in 2-4 hours if you call during the day. Normal jobs, usually within a couple of days. After big storms everyone needs help at once, so it might take a bit longer, but we prioritise anything dangerous.

Either way works. For small jobs we usually have what we need in the van. Bigger projects, we can source everything, you can buy specific things you want, or a bit of both. Most people prefer us to get the stuff because we get trade prices and know what lasts.

Yes. We’ve got public liability insurance and the team has proper qualifications. Want to see proof? Just ask.

Hasn’t happened much, but when it does we fix it straight away. If you’re not happy when we show you the finished job, we don’t leave until it’s right. And our guarantee covers anything that goes wrong because of our workmanship.

Yeah, both. We’re just as happy spending an hour fixing a squeaky hinge as we are doing a full bathroom renovation. Whatever you need.

It won’t, unless you ask us to do extra stuff or we find hidden problems – like opening up a wall and discovering rot nobody knew about. If that happens, we talk to you first and get approval before doing anything extra.

Contact Abethu Builders Today

We’re around Monday to Friday, 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, and Saturday mornings if you book ahead. Emergencies, ring anytime.
