Handyman in Ferny Hills
Ferny Hills is home base. If you're on the hill, chances are I've already worked in your street.
Ferny Hills is where Basilisk HMS is based, so this is the suburb I know best. From the Patricks Road end down to Samford Road and up the hill towards Bunyaville, I've done everything from a single flyscreen to complete deck rebuilds for locals.
Being a few minutes away matters for small jobs. There's no travel charge built into the quote, and if a job takes an hour I can fit it around bigger work instead of making you wait for a full-day booking.
I'm based in Ferny Hills, so I can usually come past to quote the same day.

Common handyman jobs in Ferny Hills
Deck repairs and rebuilds
Plenty of Ferny Hills homes have a 1980s timber deck off the back. I replace rotten boards and bearers, rebuild balustrades and restain, or pull the old one down and rebuild it properly.
Retaining walls on sloping blocks
The hill means most yards are terraced. I repair leaning sleeper walls, rebuild in treated timber or block, and sort the drainage behind them so they last.
Sliding door and window repairs
Worn rollers, stiff aluminium sliders, flyscreen replacements and window winders on the brick homes around the Ferny Hills State School area.
Painting and plaster patching
Interior repaints, feature walls, patching cracks in plasterboard and touching up exterior chamferboard before it gets worse.
Gutter, downpipe and storm prep
Clearing leaf litter from the bushland edge, resealing joins and fixing the downpipe that always overflows in a summer storm.
Rubbish removal and small demolition
Old sheds, tired pergolas and green waste taken away, including the clean-up after a project.

Ferny Hills homes
Most of the suburb was built through the 1970s and 80s: lowset and highset brick, chamferboard and mixed-clad homes on steep, leafy blocks. That age of house has a predictable list of jobs: timber decks and pergolas reaching the end of their life, sleeper retaining walls leaning, and original aluminium windows and sliding doors needing new rollers and screens.
Local knowledge
I know which streets back onto the reserve and collect leaves in the gutters, where the soil moves after heavy rain, and which older homes still have the original fibro sheeting that needs care when you're patching or demolishing. That local context goes into every quote.
