Help for Home

[Home management for Sydney's Eastern Suburbs]

Own your home, not the to-do list

Never chase a tradie again. One team that knows your house looks after the repairs, the servicing and your regular contractors. Send us one message, and we take it from there.

From $349 a month for founding members. Only 10 places.

  • Replies within the hour, 7am to 7pm
  • Insured, checked tradies
  • You approve every price first
  • Cancel anytime

Everything your home needs, in one membership

Owning a home comes with a never-ending list. We take the whole list, so your evenings and weekends are yours again.

  • Never chase a tradie again

    Send one message, with a photo if it helps. We find the right person, book them and follow it up until it's done.

  • A team that knows your house

    We learn your home on the first walkthrough: appliances, shut-offs, paint colours. You never explain it twice.

  • 1.5 handyman hours a month

    Odd jobs, assembly, hanging and fixing. Unused hours roll over.

  • Servicing on time

    Aircon, gutters, smoke alarms and hot water, booked before they're due, so nothing is forgotten.

  • Your regulars, managed

    Gardener, pool cleaner and cleaner, kept on schedule, with the follow-ups handled.

  • Appliances replaced

    When the dishwasher has had it, we source and install the replacement. You approve in one tap.

  • Bigger projects

    Renovations and specialist work. We find and vet the right people for you.

  • Fair, open pricing

    Licensed trades and parts at cost, with no markup. Nothing goes ahead until you approve the price.

Tom Galland, founder of Help for Home

Who you'll be dealing with

“I'm Tom, I live in Vaucluse, and I personally run every onboarding walkthrough.”

When something goes wrong at your place, you won't be explaining it to a call centre. You'll be talking to people who have already walked through your home.

Founder, Help for Home

Built for busy homeowners

  • Busy families

    Two jobs, school runs and weekends that should be yours. We look after the house.

  • People who travel

    Something breaks while you're away? Message us and we'll sort it, with photos when it's done.

  • Owners of older homes

    Terraces and character homes need more care. We stay on top of the small fixes before they become big ones.

  • People who've just moved in

    New house, no tradies yet? We record everything on day one and bring our trusted people with us.

Houses, terraces, townhouses and apartments. In an apartment, strata looks after the building and we look after everything inside your front door.
