Eddie Bateman - Your Handyman
I’m based in Glenfield, serving Auckland’s North Shore, anywhere from Devonport up to Whangaparoa Peninsula. After moving to New Zealand from South Africa five years ago, I’ve brought over 16 years of trade experience with me, and a passion for helping people improve their homes.
My main expertise is in kitchen renovations, fence building, and deck construction. There’s something really satisfying about transforming an outdoor space or breathing new life into a kitchen. But I’m equally experienced in any home improvement task that comes my way, from sealing showers to hanging pictures.
I’m that helping hand that every home occasionally needs – the person who can tackle those jobs you’ve been meaning to get around to. When you work with me, you’re getting someone who sees themselves as part of your home improvement team. As I often tell my clients, when you and your partner discuss home projects and say, ‘We could do this’ or ‘We could do that,’ I’m the ‘we’ who can make it happen! I take pride in delivering quality workmanship while maintaining clear communication throughout every project.
While I mainly work Monday to Friday, I understand that some jobs can’t wait, and I’m happy to accommodate Saturday appointments when needed. If there’s an urgent issue, I’ll be there quickly to help make things safe and secure. I’ll bring in qualified professionals for specialised electrical or plumbing work to ensure everything meets safety standards.
Being part of the Hire a Handyman team means I have a strong support network behind me, allowing me to focus on what matters most – delivering excellent service to my customers. We regularly meet as a team to discuss ways to improve our service and ensure we meet our customers’ needs.
When I’m not working on home improvements, I’m staying active through combat sports, such as Karate. These keep me fit and ready for whatever challenges the next job might bring.
Whether you need a complete kitchen renovation, a new deck, or general maintenance around the house, I’m here to help turn your home improvement plans into reality.

Testimonials
Work Completed:
Fence garden and install gate

Thank You to Eddie for His Excellent Service. We needed to fence our garden and install a gate, and Eddie was quick to respond to our inquiry. He asked all the right questions to ensure the job was done perfectly and paid great attention to detail. He also took the initiative to communicate with our landlord, putting him at ease throughout the process. Our landlord was extremely satisfied as well.
Not only was Eddie’s service top-notch, but his pricing was very competitive. Other companies had quoted us much higher prices. I highly recommend Eddie to anyone in need of his services.

Ranchslider Repair

I absolutely appreciate you sending out Tama to fix our Ranchslider. He definitely knows what he’s doing and takes pride in all that he does. Easy to talk to as well. I gifted him with a banana cake that I had baked earlier this afternoon. No need to send me a survey on the job done today as it speaks for itself in my text
