Strathmore and Strathmore Heights homes are built to last — but even the best-kept properties develop a to-do list. Sticking doors from seasonal timber swelling, decks that need re-oiling before winter, loose hinges on heritage-style gates, and shelves that have been “waiting to go up” for months. Sound familiar? Verus Property Services is the professional handyman service Strathmore locals rely on to knock out those jobs quickly, cleanly, and professionally and at a transparent, quoted price.
From re-hanging original timber doors to assembling flat-pack joinery in a brand-new extension — we handle both ends of Strathmore’s housing spectrum with the same attention to detail.
You didn’t buy in Strathmore to spend every weekend on a ladder. We show up on time, work through the list, and leave the place cleaner than we found it.
No surprises. We give you a clear quote before we start and stick to it. Every booking is fully insured with our Verus Service Guarantee.
Strathmore’s mix of period weatherboards and modern renovations means every home has its own set of quirks. We understand the timber, the hardware, and the standards that Strathmore homeowners expect.
Melbourne’s temperature swings cause timber doors to swell and bind. We plane, sand, and rehang doors so they swing freely — no more shoulder-barging your way into the bathroom.
Floating shelves, wall-mounted TVs, bike racks, coat hooks — we mount it level, into the right fixings, first time. Plaster, brick, or timber framing — we’ve got the right anchors for Strathmore walls.
Old Strathmore homes leak heat like a sieve. We fit weather strips, door seals, and gap fillers around doors and windows to cut your winter energy bill and stop cold draughts dead.
Merbau, spotted gum, treated pine — whatever your deck timber, we sand, clean, and re-oil it to extend its life and bring back that colour. We also repair loose or damaged boards.
Loose handles, broken latches, sticky deadbolts, and misaligned strike plates. We fix or replace door hardware so every door in your home works the way it should.
Sagging gates, leaning fence panels, broken palings, and rusted hinges. We straighten, reinforce, and replace so your boundary looks solid and secure.
Here’s a taste of what Strathmore residents call us for every week:
We offer flexible service options based on the size of your job list. Call us, describe the work, and we’ll recommend the right option — no obligation, no hidden fees.
Absolutely — it’s one of our most common jobs. Timber doors in period homes swell and shrink with Melbourne’s seasons. We plane the door to size, sand it smooth, and rehang it so it opens and closes perfectly.
Yes. Strathmore has a lot of double-brick construction. We use masonry anchors rated for the weight of your TV and bracket, conceal cables where possible, and make sure it’s level and secure.
