Sanctus Builders is the handyman Waltham homeowners call when a weatherboard has gone rotten, a door will not shut properly, or there is a list of small jobs that has been sitting there for months. Felipe works from Waltham, so a small job is worth the trip, and he gives you a straight price before he starts.

Common questions about repairs, pricing and what needs a consent or a licensed tradesperson.
It depends on the job. Each repair is quoted on its own, based on access and how big it turns out to be, with materials on top. Felipe works from Waltham, so a door adjustment or a morning of odd jobs is a short trip. Send the whole list and it is priced as one visit where the work allows. The quote is free.
Door and window repairs, plasterboard and ceiling patches, skirting and architraves, rotten weatherboards, gutters, soffits and fascia, roof repairs, TV mounting, curtain rails and picture hanging. If your job isn't listed, send a photo and ask.
Often not. The Building Act's Schedule 1 says you don't need a consent to repair or replace a building product or assembly using a comparable one in the same position, so swapping a rotten board for a comparable board fits. Repairs to something that has failed the Building Code's durability requirements aren't covered, and all work must still meet the Building Code. If you're unsure, ask the council before work starts.
We're open Monday to Saturday, 8am to 5pm, and after-hours callouts are available. Call or text 027 296 4988, or the after-hours number 027 368 9905.
For most small repairs, no. Licensed Building Practitioner work applies to restricted building work, like altering the structure or cladding of a house, and MBIE says work that doesn't need a consent isn't restricted. Electrical work must be done or supervised by a registered electrical worker, and plumbing and drainlaying by someone authorised under the Act. For specialist work Felipe brings in trusted trades.
For a Licensed Building Practitioner, ask to see their licence ID, which has a QR code, or search the public register at lbp.govt.nz and check the licence class matches the work. For an electrician, check the Electrical Workers Public Register by name or registration number.
