About Us
Hire A Hubby is Australia’s largest handyman business and it is our goal to provide customers from homes, offices and factories with a complete handyman service. We encourage our customers to provide feedback on their experiences with our handyman team.
Our home maintenance team are spread all across Australia. All of our handymen are individual businessmen and are police checked, Work Health Safety Certified, have public liability insurance and carry photo ID to provide you with security and peace of mind.
Whilst Hire A Hubby is renowned for the small jobs, we are also very proficient with bigger projects, the types that tradesmen don’t turn up to do. Kitchen and bathroom renovations, pergola and decking work are all jobs you can call a Hubby for (subject to licensing requirements).

After a period trading as the first Hire A Hubby, the franchise concept was born in 1996, before current owner and CEO Brendan Green took over the business in 1997.
