Gladstone Park’s well-established homes are solid — but after 30-plus years, even solid homes develop a maintenance list that keeps growing. Doors that have started sticking, decks going grey, fence palings rotting at the base, handles that wobble, and draughts sneaking in around old window frames. Verus Property Services is the no-nonsense handyman Gladstone Park homeowners trust to clear that list properly. We show up on time, we do the work properly, and we get it done right the first time.
We know the common issues in 70s–90s homes: timber door swelling, ageing fence lines, decks past their prime, and hardware that’s seen better days. We fix it all, and we fix it to last.
We work cleanly and efficiently. We protect your floors, move carefully around furnishings, and leave every work area tidier than we found it.
No hourly rate anxiety. We discuss the scope, give you a clear quote, and get to work. Fully insured with the Verus Service Guarantee.
Gladstone Park’s housing stock — mostly 70s to 90s brick veneer — is hitting the age where regular maintenance makes the difference between a home that holds its value and one that slowly deteriorates. We specialise in exactly this kind of established-home care.
Gladstone Park’s timber doors have had decades of Melbourne weather to swell and warp. We plane them back to size, adjust or replace hinges, and fix strike plates so they close cleanly.
Floating shelves, pantry shelving, garage storage systems, and wall-mounted organisers. We mount everything level and into the right fixings for brick veneer and plasterboard walls.
Older decks need love. We sand back weathered timber, replace damaged boards, apply quality oil, and tighten everything up. We’ll add years to your deck’s life.
Rotting palings, leaning posts, and broken rails are common in established suburbs. We replace damaged sections, straighten posts, and bring your fence line back to standard.
Older homes lose a shocking amount of heat. We fit weather strips, brush seals, and gap fillers around doors and windows to cut energy waste and improve comfort.
Towel rails pulling off the wall, cracked splash-back tiles, stiff window winders, broken fly screens, squeaky floor boards — we handle all the little fixes that add up.
What Gladstone Park homeowners book us for most:
We offer flexible service options from quick jobs to full-day sessions. Our most popular option covers a solid to-do list in one visit. Call us and we’ll recommend the right fit.
Yes. Doors stick because timber expands with moisture and the frame shifts over time. We plane the door to the correct clearance, adjust hinges, and fix the strike plate. It’s a permanent solution — not a band-aid.
Absolutely. You don’t need a whole new fence. We match the timber size, replace the damaged palings, and secure them to the existing rails. Cost-effective and looks clean.
