Handyman in Boksburg

Working in Boksburg

Boksburg has old and new side by side. Boksburg North and the streets near the lake go back to the town’s mining days, while Sunward Park and Parkrand have more recent complexes and cluster homes. Each part of town needs a different kind of handyman work.

In the older houses the jobs come with age: ceilings that have cracked or sagged, doors that no longer close properly and walls overdue for a proper repaint. In the complexes, it is often a landlord preparing a unit for the next tenant, or a body corporate with common areas to paint and security gates to fix.

Older Boksburg houses and newer complexes

Boksburg North and Witfield have established freestanding homes with the wear that comes with the years: ceiling boards that have dropped, wooden doors that swell or stick, and skirtings knocked about by decades of furniture moves. Sunward Park and Parkrand have more townhouses and cluster homes, where owners and landlords repaint, swap doors and update skirtings when a unit is sold or let. Security steel is part of almost every property, from the driveway gate to the window bars.

Getting to Boksburg

Boksburg sits on the N12, east of Germiston. From Muldersdrift the drive crosses most of Johannesburg, so it pays to plan ahead. Write down everything that needs doing, from the stained ceiling to the gate that drags, and send it with photos in one WhatsApp. Innocent will aim to finish the lot in a single trip.
