About us

Your friendly local handyman

Burrum Heads Handyman looks after homes, holiday houses and rentals around Burrum Heads, Toogoom and the Fraser Coast.

Being local means we know what the coast does to a house: rusty screws, salt-crusted sliding doors, torn fly screens and weathered decks. We fix those things properly, with materials that last near the water.

No job is too small. Write a list, send it through and we'll knock it over in one visit where we can.
