SURVE Handyman Burleigh Waters
Burleigh Waters homes sit around Burleigh Lake and its canals, and many date from the 1970s and ’80s. Waterside moisture is hard on decks, pergolas and handrails, while inside, older doors and plaster need attention after decades of seasonal movement.

Burleigh Waters Case Study – Plasterboard Hole Repair, Sanding & Painting
Ange, a Burleigh Waters homeowner, contacted SURVE after accidental damage left a noticeable hole in one of their internal walls. The client wanted the repair completed to a high standard, with the finish blending seamlessly into the existing room.
We carried out the full repair using SURVE’s standard two‑stage plastering process. The damaged section was opened up neatly, a timber backing support was installed, and new plasterboard was fitted to rebuild the wall surface. Multiple coats of plaster compound were applied to achieve a smooth, level base ready for finishing.
Once the plaster had fully dried, we returned to sand the area, apply undercoat, and repaint the full wall to ensure there were no visible patch lines or flashing. The final result was a clean, uniform finish that restored the wall to its original condition.
Ange was extremely happy with the outcome, commenting on the quality of the repair and how well the new paint blended into the room. Another tidy, no‑drama job completed for a Burleigh Waters property.

Highly recommend! A highly skilled, professional handyman with a building background who provides excellent service!! As a female property owner with no handyman skills, I assembled my new dining set and attempted to put new light bulbs in my bunker lights on my balconies. My dining table and chairs the are now perfectly sturdy and safe, and the light bulbs are installed for my bunker balcony outdoor lights 🙏Posted on Google![]()

I contacted Surve after reading the positive reviews. We required a quick turnaround on various jobs at an empty investment property. Dan and Sue went out of their way to accommodate such a late notice request even working weekends to fit us in. Their communication was great, the itemised invoice and photos were very beneficial as we don't live close by and rely heavily on communication, photos and a professional operator. Highly recommended.Posted on Google![]()

Dan was the best. Not only was his work top quality, he communicated everything clearly and was a joy to have in the house. Sue was also great with prompt responses and booking queries. I can't recommend Surve Property Maintenance highly enough. They will be the first to call next time I need something.Posted on Google![]()

Local Homes and Common Repairs in Burleigh Waters
Burleigh Waters is built around Burleigh Lake and its canals, with plenty of 1970s and ’80s brick homes alongside newer rebuilds.
Waterside living is hard on timber, so decks, pergolas and handrails often need boards, posts or rails replaced. Inside, older homes commonly need plaster cracks repaired and doors re-hung after years of seasonal movement. It’s a short drive from my base in Varsity Lakes.
