Frequently asked questions

You pay a minimum one hour callout charge for a drain repair or replacement job.

If it's a repair job, the tradesperson will let you know whether your drain can be repaired once they've investigated the issue. If a repair isn't possible, you'll only pay the callout charge. The tradesperson will advise on the next steps, and may suggest a replacement instead of a repair.

If your repair or replacement job takes more than one hour, you’ll be charged for the additional time in 30 min increments (plus the cost of any materials). 

If you need a new drain cover or any other materials for the job, your tradesperson will source one locally and tell you the estimated cost. With your approval, they'll buy it and add the cost to your bill. Or you can supply your own materials if you prefer.

There's no hassle with cash - we accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express payment cards. 

We have tradespeople available at short notice or for advance booking. Just choose a date and time that works for you when you book in.

When you book your job, let us know your address. We'll make sure that you're matched with a trusted local professional who's based near you.

Two very pleasant and thorough operatives came and cleared the guttering. They were a delight, and great to have the job done.

The replacement manhole cover went very well, as it involved having to cement areas that would make the area extra secure. The appointment was kept to the correct time and day.

Joao did a fabulous job in terms of fixing water damage behind the shower room tiles and under the shower tray. He then retiled the affected area. He was extremely knowledgeable about how to fix the problem, and worked hard and efficiently to minimise the disruption. Additionally, he was very friendly and kept me updated at each stage of the job. I highly recommend Joao for any plumbing work. Thank you!

I arranged for an internal door to be hung for my elderly parents. I mistakenly asked for a handyman instead of a carpenter. I must say the handyman done an excellent job considering he is not a carpenter. I would definitely recommend Housekeep. Friendly, efficient, turn up on time. Overall a fantastic service. Thank you.
