Repairs, carpentry and the jobs on your list, done properly and tidied up after. Based in Masterton, working across the Wairarapa. Our prices are online, so you know the cost before you call.
The job too small for a builder. The list on the fridge. The fence the wind took again. If it’s broken, wobbly, leaking, or just driving you mad, we can sort it.
Hinges, handles, gutters, spouting, steps, doors, windows, all the small stuff that becomes a big problem if you ignore it.
All those things on the fridge. Put a few together and we'll get through the lot in one visit, which costs less than separate call-outs.
Fences, flashings and trellis after a big nor'wester. Fixed early, a small repair stays a small bill.
Spot repairs, recaulking and flaking paint sorted before it lets water in.
Shelving, doors, trim, skirting, built-ins, laundries. Tidy joinery that fits properly and lasts.
Fences, decks, garden beds, retaining, section tidy-ups. We know Wairarapa wind and what it does to timber.
I'm Bryan White. I started out as a carpentry apprentice when I left school, then spent 30 years in IT service management, including at the Earthquake Commission, where things had to work first time. I’ve been back on the tools since 2018, and I brought those habits with me.
That means I turn up when I say I will, tell you what I find, ask before anything changes, and leave the place tidy. I know the local houses too: the 1940s bungalows, the weatherboard villas, and the exposed sections that take a beating every winter.
He also answers questions on this website, any time of day. Ask him what a job might cost, what we do, or how booking works.
Ask George a question“I went back to the tools in 2018 because I like fixing things properly. Thirty years in IT taught me the rest: turn up when you say you will, tell people what you find, and never send a bill they were not expecting.”
You pay for the time on your job and the materials at the price the shop charges. If a job is going to take longer than we said, we stop and ask you first.
No. The first visit covers the first 2 hours, includes travel in Masterton, so add a few things from the list and we'll get through them in one go.
Yes: Masterton, Carterton, Greytown, Featherston, Martinborough and the wider Wairarapa. Outside Masterton, travel is $1.21 a km including GST, and we tell you the amount before booking.
Not for most jobs. You pay for the time on the job and the materials. For bigger jobs, over about $3,000, start with a ballpark from your photos, at no charge, then a written price if you want one.
We stop and tell you, and nothing extra gets done unless you say yes.
If you call or text while we’re working, we’ll reply as soon as we’re off the tools.
