We travel down to Wollongong and the Illawarra for larger residential and commercial jobs. For a small repair, we’ll tell you honestly on the phone whether it’s worth us making the trip or whether you’d be better served by someone local.

What we see in Wollongong and the Illawarra

• Coastal exposure. Like Sydney’s beachside suburbs, Illawarra properties facing the coast see faster wear on balconies, roofs and exposed waterproofing.
• Larger residential and commercial jobs. Given the distance, we prioritise jobs with enough scope to justify the trip — multi-unit developments, larger renovations and commercial work.
• Honest advice on smaller jobs. If your job is small, we’d rather tell you upfront it’s not worth the trip than take the booking and give it less attention than it deserves.

Frequently asked

Do you travel to Wollongong for small jobs?

Not usually — we’re upfront about this on the phone. Small repairs are often better handled by a local trade, and we’ll tell you that rather than take a booking that doesn’t make sense for either of us.

What size job makes the trip worthwhile?

Larger renovations, multi-unit developments and commercial work generally make sense. Call and describe your job and we’ll give you a straight answer.
