HANDYMEN · NEW ZEALAND

Get one person for the whole list of small jobs

Most households keep a list: a door that sticks, a shelf that never went up, a tap that drips. Each is too small to call a specialist for, which is exactly why the list never shrinks. Send the whole list at once and NovaPay asks local handymen to price it as one visit.

WHAT IT USUALLY COSTS

$40 to $70 an hour

Typical New Zealand rates. Most charge a minimum callout of an hour or two, which is the single best reason to save jobs up: five small ones in one visit cost far less than five separate visits.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Is there a minimum charge?
Usually an hour or two, and it applies whether the job takes that long or not. Listing several jobs in one request is the way to get value from the visit.
What can a handyman not legally do?
In New Zealand, electrical work and most plumbing must be done by a registered tradesperson, and structural work may need a Licensed Building Practitioner. Describe the job and the replies will tell you if it needs a specialist.
Do they bring their own materials?
Tools always, materials usually not. Say what you already have at home in the request, because a trip to the hardware store is chargeable time.
Can I get one person for a whole list?
That is what most people use a handyman for. Put every job in one request and you get one quote, one visit and one payment rather than chasing several trades.
