At The Wairarapa Handyman, we bring together honest craftsmanship, practical know-how, and a dry sense of humour to tackle the jobs that keep your home or business running smoothly. Whether it’s a squeaky hinge, a fence on the lean, or a full-blown backyard resurrection — we’re your go-to team across the Wairarapa region.
Founded by Bryan White, a bloke with over 30 years in service management, we believe in doing the job properly — no shortcuts, no surprises, just solid work that lasts.
And yes, if you’ve heard about George, our four-legged apprentice, the rumours are true. George the Border Terrier is the face of the business (and possibly the brains behind it). He’s there for quality control, biscuit patrol, and reminding us all that jobs should be tackled with focus and a wagging tail.
We specialise in:
- Repairs and Maintenance – From fixing that annoying gutter to sorting the steps before someone goes flying.
- Carpentry – Shelves, doors, trim, and the kind of joinery that makes you smile every time you walk past it.
- Outdoor Projects – Fences, decks, garden beds, and section tidy-ups.
- Custom Solutions – The odd jobs that don’t fit a category, but definitely need doing.
We try not charge by the hour — because who wants a ticking clock when there’s a fence post to dig? We quote the job fairly, finish it properly, and clean up after ourselves (George’s fur included).
We’re fully insured, health and safety trained, and genuinely local — based right here in the Wairarapa, serving our community with pride, a bit of banter, and a good dose of reliability.
Whether you’re sprucing up the place, fixing what the wind took down, or finally tackling the to-do list that’s been pinned to the fridge since last year — we’re here to help.

A helping hand when you need it — and a furry foreman to keep us honest.
