Already have a Healthy Homes inspection report or repair list?
Send it through and I'll review which items fall within my handyman scope — draught stopping, door and window adjustments, gutters, downpipes and moisture-related timber repairs.
Every private rental in New Zealand must meet the Healthy Homes Standards from the start of any tenancy. The Tenancy Tribunal can order penalties of up to $7,200 for non-compliance, usually paid to the tenant.
I'll say so upfront if an item in your report falls outside my scope — rather than quoting for it anyway.
I don't issue compliance certificates or act as your official assessor.
Kitchen and bathroom extractor fan installs aren't part of my service.
Insulation installation isn't part of my service.
Underfloor moisture barrier installation isn't part of my service.
Forward the inspection report, repair list, or just clear photos of what needs attention.
I identify what's suitable for Handyman Botany and flag anything that needs a specialist or licensed trade.
Suitable items are grouped into one practical scope and quoted together where it makes sense.
Once the quote is approved, work is scheduled directly with the landlord or property manager.
Approved work is completed and checked off against the original report — one contact throughout.
Repair work starts from $120. Final cost depends on the type of repair, materials required, access and how many items are on the list.
A quick adjustment costs less than a full timber replacement.
Seals, timber, flashing and hardware vary by item.
Roof-level or restricted areas can take longer.
Multiple items are often grouped into one practical, more efficient visit.
Send your report or a few photos for the most accurate quote — I aim to respond within one business day.
A rotten timber threshold at a garage entrance had crumbled through at one corner — exactly the kind of item that shows up as a fail on a Healthy Homes report.

Yes. A walk-through can identify the obvious repair items without waiting on a formal assessment first.
No. This service is for the repair work itself, usually after an inspection or report has identified the issues.
Not currently. If an item like this appears in your report, I'll flag it as outside my scope rather than quote for it.
Yes — these are some of the most common Healthy Homes-related repairs I handle, along with door and window adjustments.
From $120, depending on the actual repair scope, materials and access. Smaller than that? Ring Rinat on 021 022 66991, describe the job, and ask for a price for that exact work — the call is free.
