Handyman in Strand, for Houses and Beachfront Flats
Living by the sea is hard on a home. Salt air, wind and damp get into everything, and what would last ten years inland can need attention in five. I'm Jean du Plessis from 1st Call Handyman. I'm based just up the road in Somerset West and work as a handyman in Strand every week, in family homes and in the flats along Beach Road.

Damp, rust and paint repairs near the sea
- Rusted taps, hinges, gate hardware and gutter brackets replaced
- Peeling and chalky exterior paint stripped back, prepared and repainted
- Damp and mould in sea-facing rooms traced to the cause and repaired
- Swollen doors and window frames eased, repaired or replaced
- Leaking showers and balconies sealed and waterproofed
- Gutters cleared of wind-blown sand before the winter rain
Near the beach, the preparation and the materials matter more than anywhere else. I'd sooner do the job properly once than see you again next year for the same problem.

What Strand homes go through
Most of what I fix in Strand comes down to the sea, or to the way people live beside it.
Salt air and sun
Salt settles on walls, taps and gate hardware, and the wind and sun do the rest. Paint peels and metal rusts years sooner here than it would inland.
Strand flats and complexes
A lot of my Strand work is in apartment blocks and security complexes. I work within the hours your body corporate allows, protect the lifts, stairs and passages, keep the noise and dust down for your neighbours, and take the rubble away with me.
Owners who live elsewhere
If you own a holiday flat or a rental here and live somewhere else, I can meet your agent or caretaker for the keys and send you photos on WhatsApp before I start and when I finish.
Home repairs I do in Strand
Also bathroom, fireplace and outdoor-area remodelling, and general household repairs and maintenance.

What Strand customers say
Questions from Strand homeowners
Do you charge extra to come out to Strand?
No. Strand is a few minutes from my base in Somerset West, and quotes are free.
Can you work in my flat while I'm away?
Yes. I can collect keys from your agent or caretaker and keep you updated with photos, so you don't need to be there.
Why does paint peel so quickly near the sea?
Salt settles on the walls and gets under the paint, and the wind and sun do the rest. Washing the salt off, proper preparation and the right paint for the coast make it last much longer.
Do you do after-hours emergencies in Strand?
Yes. For burst pipes and blocked drains I'm on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
