Adrian Griffin, handyman in Sydney's Inner West

About me

I'm Adrian Griffin. I trained as a fitter and machinist, was the in-house repair guy at Australia's biggest drum shop, and I've spent 30 years building and fixing things across my own homes. Kitchens, decks, sheds, built-in wardrobes, TV, audio, and internet setup, assembling furniture, repairs, odd jobs, and everything in between.

Now I do it for people around the Inner West. If it needs to be straight, level and solid, that's what I'm here for.

Common questions

What kinds of jobs do you take on?

Pretty much anything around the home that doesn't need a licensed tradesperson. TV wall mounting, sound system and AV wiring and setup, flat pack assembly, internet and wifi setup, and the rest of your to-do list around home. Jobs stay under the NSW $5,000 threshold for unlicensed work, which covers almost everything a handyman should be doing anyway.

What jobs won't you do?

Plumbing, electrical, gas, anything involving in-wall power, structural work, and second-storey roofs. Those need a licensed trade, and you should be wary of anyone who tells you otherwise. If your job needs a licensed trade, I'm happy to recommend who to call.

Ask me if you're not sure, sometimes it might be something I can handle.

What areas do you service?

I'm based in Stanmore and work across Sydney's Inner West, Newtown, Enmore, Marrickville, Petersham, Lewisham, Summer Hill, Dulwich Hill, Ashfield, Leichhardt, Annandale, Camperdown, Glebe, Balmain, Rozelle, Haberfield, Five Dock, Croydon, Tempe and Earlwood. Within roughly 10–15km of Stanmore, if you're close, just ask me.

How does pricing work?

Fixed prices, quoted up front, you know the cost before I start, not after. For a list of jobs, I offer half-day and full-day rates, which usually works out cheaper than pricing each job separately.

When are you available?

Weekdays. That suits people working from home who can let me in between meetings, and property managers who need jobs done while tenants are out. If you need something outside those hours, ask and I'll see what I can do.
