Your Trusted Handyman for Letting Agents in Gauteng
Welcome to Local Choice! We work with letting agents and property managers across Gauteng, handling turnover repairs, ongoing maintenance, and everything in between — for your home, office, or rental property. One point of contact, honest communication, and workmanship you can rely on.
Why Letting Agents Choose Local Choice
Managing rental properties means jobs land at the worst possible time — a tenant moves out and the carport’s been dented, the lights are out in the passage, plaster’s coming off a wall, or the gutters are leaking again before the next viewing. Here’s what makes Local Choice the right fit for your rental portfolio:
Experienced and Dependable
Years of hands-on experience across a wide range of property types, with a genuine focus on getting the job done right the first time. We handle everything from minor turnover repairs to more complex projects — always with quality workmanship and honest communication.
One Point of Contact for Every Property
Turnover and make-ready work between tenants — patch and repaint walls, replace or repair damaged fittings, fix lighting, and general wear-and-tear repairs. Property damage — carport and structural knocks, plaster repairs, gate and burglar bar damage. Ongoing maintenance between inspections. One handyman, one point of contact, instead of juggling separate contractors for painting, welding, and general repairs across every property on your books.
Transparent Pricing
You’ll know the cost upfront with our free, no-obligation quotes. For small urgent jobs, ask about our 1-Hour Quick Fix for just R450 — a skilled handyman to your door for up to one hour of work. No hidden fees, no surprises. Request a free quote today.
A Note on Scope
LocalChoice doesn’t offer emergency or after-hours call-outs. If the timing or scope of a job doesn’t allow a same-day repair, we’ll find a solution to hold things over safely until a proper fix is possible — so tenants aren’t left with an unresolved problem in the meantime.
Our Services for Letting Agents & Property Managers
From priority turnover repairs to full property maintenance, Local Choice handles it all for your home, office, or rental property.
Painting & Decorating
Interior and exterior painting between tenants or ahead of a sale. Quality materials and proper surface prep on facebrick homes, plaster exteriors, garage doors, garden walls, and interiors of all sizes. View our Painting & Decorating page.
Security Gates & Burglar Bars
Metal work is one of the most common issues we see on rental properties — rusting palisades, gate repairs, and burglar bar damage. We fabricate and repair mild steel security gates, burglar bars, palisade fencing, and entrance gates on-site, built to last. View our Welding & Security Gates page.
Built-in Cupboards
Fitted cupboards for bedrooms, kitchens, and garages — working with melamine board and a range of finishes. Built-ins add real value to properties, particularly when preparing units for the rental market. View our Built-in Cupboards page.
General Repairs
From fixing leaky taps and patching drywall to repairing doors, locks, and general wear-and-tear — the small jobs that make a real difference between tenants. View our General Home Repairs page.
Carpentry & Joinery
Door and frame repairs, custom shelving, skirting boards, and built-in furniture — common turnover jobs across rental stock. View our Carpentry page.
Ceiling & Cornice Repairs
Water damage, cracks, and sagging ceilings are common between tenancies. We repair and replace ceiling boards, patch cornices, and leave a seamless finish ready for painting. View our Ceiling & Cornice Repairs page.
Tiling & Floor Repairs
From replacing cracked bathroom tiles to repairing damaged flooring between tenants. View our Tiling & Floor Repairs page.
Building & Plastering
Wall repairs, surface preparation, and small building projects — plastering cracks, patching external walls, preparing surfaces for painting. View our Building & Plastering page.
Drywalling
Installation and repair for both residential and commercial properties, with a smooth, paint-ready finish. View our Drywalling page.
Furniture Assembly
Save the frustration of flat-pack assembly for a new tenant move-in — we’ll put it together correctly, first time. View our Furniture Assembly page.
Areas We Cover
We work with letting agents and property managers with rental stock across our primary and secondary service areas: Fourways, Weltevredenpark, Dinwiddie, Benoni, Gerdview, and Whitfield, as well as Sandton and Randburg.
Frequently Asked Questions — Letting Agents & Property Managers
Have a question before you get in touch? You can also contact us or WhatsApp us directly.
Do you offer emergency or after-hours call-outs?►
No, LocalChoice doesn’t do emergency call-outs. If the timing or scope doesn’t allow a same-day repair, we’ll find a solution to hold things over safely until a proper fix is possible — tenants aren’t left with an unresolved problem in the meantime.
Can you handle multiple properties for one agency?►
Yes — one point of contact for all your properties instead of juggling separate contractors for painting, welding, and general repairs.
What’s a typical turnaround for a make-ready or turnover job?►
It depends on the scope of the job — we don’t promise a fixed timeline, but every job is treated with the urgency a tenant complaint or vacant unit deserves.
What are common issues you see on rental properties in Fourways, Sandton, and the surrounding areas?►
Metal work comes up a lot — rusting palisades needing repair and repaint, and almost every property seems to have at least one gate issue. Security lights, and accident or break-in damage, are also common, especially around carports and entrances.
Do you invoice agencies directly, or handle recurring work?►
Yes — straightforward invoicing, and happy to set up recurring maintenance arrangements.
