Kandua
Kandua is a booking platform, not a single handyman business: you post a job and get matched with an independent, vetted tradesperson nearby, covering plumbing, electrical, painting, and general handyman work. Its own site claims a 4.6 average across more than 85,000 reviews platform-wide, though its Johannesburg Google listing reflects Google reviewers' direct experience with jobs booked through it.
What people praise
- Large pool of pros across multiple trades in one place
- Fast matching, with several reviewers praising the tradesperson's actual work
- No need to individually vet a handyman if you trust the platform's screening
Worth knowing
- One detailed review describes a dispute where a contracted pro allegedly kept a deposit and materials without finishing the job
- You're hiring whoever the platform matches you with, not a specific known technician
- Platform takes responsibility only as an intermediary, per its own policy language cited in a review
Our take: Worth knowing it's a matching platform rather than a handyman company itself. It has the deepest review base here, but the one detailed complaint about accountability for a bad match is worth reading before you rely on it for a large job.
