Mickleham is growing fast — and brand-new homes come with their own set of headaches. Doors that start sticking within the first year as the slab settles, builder-grade handles that feel flimsy, a garage full of flat-pack boxes waiting to be built, TVs that need mounting before the housewarming, and fences already taking hits from the construction still happening next door. Verus Property Services is the professional handyman Mickleham’s new homeowners trust to finish what the builders started.
We specialise in new-home maintenance — slab settlement issues, plasterboard wall mounting, builder-defect fixes, and all the finishing touches your builder didn’t complete.
Builder handover not quite right? We can help identify and fix common defects — sticking doors, gaps in trim, scratched hardware, poor silicone work — before your warranty period expires.
Moving into a new home is expensive enough. We quote every job upfront so you know exactly what it costs — no surprises.
Mickleham’s brand-new estates mean modern slab-on-ground construction, plasterboard interiors, rendered exteriors, and Colorbond fencing as far as the eye can see. We know this construction inside out and carry the right fixings for every job.
New homes, blank walls, zero hooks. We mount TVs from 32 to 85 inches, install full-motion brackets, run cables neatly, and ensure everything is perfectly level on your plasterboard walls.
Move-in means flat-pack overload. We assemble wardrobes, desks, entertainment units, bookshelves, and storage systems — properly built and wall-anchored for safety.
New slabs settle in the first 12–24 months, causing doors to stick, rub, and fail to latch. We adjust, plane, and rehang doors to compensate — and we can come back as settlement continues.
Construction site damage, loose Colorbond panels, and gates that don’t align — common headaches in active estates. We straighten, repair, and secure your boundary fencing.
Floating shelves, coat hooks, towel rails, curtain rods, picture frames, baby gates — we turn a bare house into a home. Everything level, secure, and using the right wall fixings.
New homes aren’t always airtight. We seal gaps around doors, windows, and skirting boards to improve energy efficiency and keep dust from surrounding construction sites out.
What new Mickleham homeowners call us for:
We offer flexible service options from quick fixes to full-day fit-outs. Moving-in jobs often suit a bigger block. Call us and we’ll recommend the right option for your new home.
Yes — it’s extremely common and it’s one of our most frequent new-build jobs. Concrete slabs settle for 12–24 months after construction, causing minor shifts that make doors stick. We plane and adjust to fix it.
We handle cosmetic and minor functional defects — doors, hardware, trim, silicone, mounting issues. For structural defects, we’ll recommend you go through your builder’s warranty process.
We try to accommodate move-in day bookings when we can — especially for TV mounting and furniture assembly. Book at least a week ahead to lock in the date. Call 0468 837 874.
For plasterboard walls (standard in Mickleham homes), we carry a full range of hollow-wall anchors, toggle bolts, and stud-finding equipment. For specialised hardware or specific items, we’ll let you know what to have ready.
From the Merrifield Town Centre estates to the developments along Mickleham Road, we're just a call away. Professional handyman service, fixed pricing, fully insured.
