What belongs in a handyman job list?
Write one item for each location and describe the problem. For example, “the kitchen cupboard door drops when opened and catches the drawer” is more useful than “cupboard door”. Say when the fault started and if it changes with weather or use. Separate essential repairs from optional work. Explore minor home repairs for the kinds of requests that can be assessed.
Which photos should you upload?
Take a close-up of the fault and a wider picture showing its surroundings. Add up to four JPG, PNG or WebP photos to the free quote form, no larger than 3 MB each. Number the tasks in your message so the pictures can be matched to the list. Leave personal documents, people and valuables out of view. Do not climb or disturb unknown materials to get a photograph.
What details help with an installation?
Send the product name, instructions, dimensions and intended position. Identify the surface to which it will attach and the expected load where relevant. For furniture assembly, state the number of items and where the cartons are stored. Repairs and new installations need different materials and preparation, even if they involve the same room.
How do access and permission affect the quote?
Include your suburb and property type, plus the route from unloading to the work. Mention narrow gates, stairs, lifts and approved contractor hours. Tenants and strata residents should identify the person authorising the job. Shared fittings and safety-related components may require a different approval or specialist assessment from an ordinary household repair.
When does an enquiry become a booking?
Sending the list starts an assessment. The team may ask for measurements or more information before confirming suitable work, materials, price and timing. A preferred completion date is useful, but an appointment exists only once confirmed. Electrical, plumbing, structural and other specialist concerns should be described separately so the appropriate next step can be discussed.
