How to make your home ‘safe as houses’

Are you the Mr or Ms Fixit around your home?  Do you wonder if you will ever get around to doing all the repairs and maintenance on your to-do list?

In Perth and Fremantle and their outlying suburbs, if you are a time poor property owner there is an answer to keeping up with repairs and maintenance: call NexGen Tradies and Handymen.

The company operates out of East Fremantle, covering inner city suburbs to as far north as Joondalup, east to the Hills suburbs and south to Mandurah. It provides all trades needed for residential and commercial repairs and maintenance, so you don’t need to deal with several different contractors.

Asbestos removal

Emergency repairs are handled in a timely manner, especially where safety is compromised. An example would be remediation of accidentally damaged asbestos, a building material often found in and around buildings constructed before 1990.

Do-it-yourself home renovators can have their homes tested for asbestos before starting the work, and NexGen Tradies is able to arrange this inspection as well as organise asbestos removal.

Maintenance check

For the owner’s peace of mind, safety is a must in a residential or commercial property. A yearly maintenance check will often reveal minor issues that if ignored can become unsafe and require major repairs.

Outdoors, unstable pool or spa barriers, poorly closing gates and latches, and uneven pavers are hazards that should be fixed without delay, to avoid accidents. Indoors, furniture that could topple such as wardrobes or sets of drawers, insecure curtain rods and dangling curtain cords can be dangerous and should be secured.

Carpenter to the rescue

Broken furniture, skirting boards that need replacing or repainting, holes in walls, fences and gates falling apart are the types of fixups homeowners list as projects for weekends, but then get side-tracked. For NexGen Tradies carpenters, these jobs can be done quickly and without fuss.

Repainting interiors in homes and commercial settings poses a logistic problem for the do-it-your-selfer. A qualified and experienced painter decorator from NexGen Tradies will use tools and equipment that speed up the task, while ensuring a long-lasting, quality result.

Ward off winter’s woes

Winter months are when gutters, downpipes and roofing will show whether they are functioning properly. To ward off winter woes, NexGen Tradies can appoint a roofing plumber to make sure maintenance is up to date and do any necessary repairs.
