Is Whanganui covered from Palmerston North?
Often, for larger jobs — it is about an hour. For small ones you are usually better with somebody in Whanganui, and NovaPay asks there first when that is where the job is.
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.
