Sanctus Builders is the Christchurch handyman homeowners call when a weatherboard's gone rotten, a door won't shut properly, or there's a list of small jobs that's been sitting there for months. Felipe handles the fix and the general property maintenance that goes with owning a home, without treating a small job like it's beneath the business.

"Repairs & Maintenance" is the widest service Sanctus Builders offers. Here's what falls under it, grouped into four categories.
Drywall and plasterboard repairs, wall and ceiling repairs, skirting boards and architraves.
Door repairs and installation, window repairs, interior door installation, doors and hardware.
Weatherboard and cladding repairs, rot repairs, exterior cladding, Hardiglaze installation, soffit and fascia repairs, gutter repairs and replacement, roof repairs.
General property maintenance, home repairs and handyman services, concrete paths and small slabs, mirrors, fixtures and fittings, curtain and blind installation, artwork and picture hanging, TV mounting, entertainment units, flat-pack cabinetry assembly.
Repairs and maintenance jobs move faster than a renovation, so the process is shorter too. This is the loop Sanctus Builders runs on every call.
Tell Felipe what needs doing, one job or a running list.
A straight price by phone or photos, or a quick on-site look for bigger jobs.
Done properly the first time, whether it's one repair or several in a single visit.
Booking a different tradesperson for each one adds up in time and cost. Sanctus Builders handles the whole list in one visit where the jobs allow it, so a Saturday morning of small annoyances gets sorted in one callout instead of five.
Sanctus Builders doesn't publish a fixed handyman rate, because a five-minute door adjustment and a full weatherboard replacement aren't the same job. These are the things that actually affect cost:
| Factor | What It Affects |
|---|---|
| Number of jobs in one visit | Bundling several small jobs together is more efficient than booking them separately. |
| Materials needed | A repair using offcuts costs less than one needing new cladding or timber. |
| Access | A job on a ladder or in a tight roof space takes longer than one at ground level. |
| Scope | Whether it's a quick fix or uncovers a bigger underlying issue once it's opened up. |
Every repair or maintenance job gets a free, honest quote, whether that's a quick price over the phone for a small job or a look in person for something bigger.
Sanctus Builders holds a five out of five rating across Google and Builders Crack. Here is what some of those customers had to say.
"Friendly, great communication and great tidy work"
"Great price. Fantastic professional service! Felipe was super efficient and I was impressed with his knowledge and quality of workmanship. I will definitely keep him on my list for future jobs! Thank you Felipe, and your wonderful assistant!"
"Reasonable price. Amazingly quick response to request for a builder. A great skilled worker with ability to bring in helpers as required. Nothing appeared to be too difficult, from laying paving to assembling a large kitset workshop shed, in a fast and efficient manner. Would definitely contact for future work."
"Felipe is an amazing guy, super friendly, helpful, flexible and hardworking. We've loved having him in our house doing renovations. The work looks good and he did exactly what we wanted. Would definitely recommend. We'll be getting him back to do more."
"Tough job completed to a high standard and on time. Would definitely use again."
It depends on the job or jobs involved. A small fix gets a straight price over the phone, while a bigger repair (a rotten weatherboard, for example) gets priced after Felipe has had a look. There's no flat call-out fee that ignores what's actually needed.
Yes, and it's usually the most efficient way to do it. Send Felipe the full list and he'll price and schedule it as one job where the work allows.
Yes. Sanctus Builders handles repairs and maintenance right across Christchurch, not just the inner suburbs.
Felipe will tell you straight away if a job like a rotten weatherboard or a leaking gutter turns out to involve more than expected, with an updated price before continuing, not after the fact.
Both. Sanctus Builders takes on single small jobs as readily as an ongoing list of general property maintenance, there's no job too small to call about.
