Your local Armadale handyman, with 20+ years in the trade
Armadale Handyman Services is run by J.A.N Property Maintenance, a Western Australian business with more than two decades of hands-on trade work behind it. We look after homes, rentals and small businesses right across the City of Armadale.
Most of our calls start with a list: a door that will not close, a cracked tile, a gate hanging off one hinge, gutters full of leaves. We work through it in one visit where we can, so you are not waiting on four different trades.
Why Armadale locals book us
The same approach on every job, from a loose hinge to a full bathroom retile.
Close by

Honest advice

Carpentry
Sticking doors, rotten window frames, new shelving and outdoor timber. Honest carpentry for older Armadale homes where nothing is quite square any more.

Plastering in Armadale
A lot of Armadale and Kelmscott homes were built between the 1960s and the 1990s, and their plaster tells you so. Ceiling sheets drop where the battens have dried out, cornices part company with the wall, and old renovations leave a join you can see from the hallway. Filling the gap is quick; working out why it opened is what stops it coming back.
Carpentry in Armadale
Older houses are rarely level, which is why off-the-shelf fixes so often look wrong in them. A replacement door has to be planed to an opening that has moved over forty years, and new shelving has to sit straight against a wall that does not. We measure what is there, not what the plan says should be.
Tiling in Armadale
If a tile cracks, sounds hollow when you tap it, or a shower leaves a damp patch on the other side of the wall, the problem is almost always underneath. We lift enough to see what the base and the waterproofing are doing before quoting, so you pay for a fix and not a cover-up.
Painting in Armadale
Painting over a problem only hides it for a while. Chalky exterior walls, peeling eaves and stained ceilings all need the cause dealt with and the surface prepared, or the new coat lifts with the old one. That preparation is most of the job, and it is where we spend the time.
Gutter Cleaning in Armadale
Overflowing gutters are one of the most common causes of water getting into a roof space. Once water sits in a full gutter it rusts the steel, rots the fascia behind it and finds its way into the eaves. A clean every year or two costs far less than any of those repairs.
Pressure Cleaning in Armadale
A cold water clean moves surface dirt, but oil drips, tyre marks and years of grime soak into concrete and need heat to release. Hot water pressure cleaning breaks them down so the surface comes back to an even colour instead of a clean patch surrounded by stains.
Fencing in Armadale
Most fences that lean or sag have gone at the posts, not the sheets or palings. Replacing the damaged posts and resetting the line saves the rest of the fence, which is a far smaller bill than a new one. If the fence is genuinely finished, we will show you why.
Gates in Armadale
A gate that drags on the ground or will not stay shut is usually telling you the post has shifted or the frame has twisted. New hinges on a moving post will not last. We check the post and the frame, then fix the part that has actually failed.
Junk Removal in Armadale
Hiring a trailer, loading it yourself and queuing at the tip takes a whole weekend. We do the lifting and the trips, sort what can be recycled, and leave the space swept. It suits spring cleans, deceased estates, rentals between tenants and the pile that has been building behind the shed.
