ODD JOBS — BY THE HOUR / KENT TOWN 5067
Odd jobs in Kent Town, one list at a time.
THE WHOLE LIST. ONE VISIT.
Kent Town is postcode 5067, 1.93 km from the Adelaide CBD, which makes it one of the shortest runs in the 60 km service area. The suburb record holds that postcode and distance and no separate soil or terrain note, so an odd jobs list for a Kent Town address is scoped at the wall on the day. Send the list with photos and the work is ordered the way you want it.
What tends to be on a Kent Town list
Being this close to the city, the addresses here are compact and the lists are practical: a door that will not latch, a mirror still leaning instead of hung, silicone that has gone at the base of a shower, a drawer that needs easing. Short jobs, done together, in one visit rather than four separate bookings nobody enjoys arranging.

Kent Town: recorded detail and the open questions
The record for Kent Town is the postcode 5067 and a distance of 1.93 km from the CBD, inside the 60 km service area, with no separate soil or terrain note. Nothing is assumed about the substrate: the wall is checked for stud, brick or stone, and the fixing is chosen from that, which is also why heavy items are never hung on a promise.
The limit line
Electrical work beyond a globe or a smoke alarm battery, plumbing beyond a tap washer or cistern valve, gas, and anything structural are outside the scope. They are identified early so the booked time goes on work that gets finished.
Straight answers
Is Kent Town treated as a quick visit because it is 1.93 km out?
The travel is short, the visit is not rushed. At 5067 the saving is in the drive, and the booked time is still spent working the list in your order until it is used up or the list runs out.
What if the wall behind a Kent Town shelf turns out to be plaster?
Then it gets a cavity anchor or a stud, never a plug by habit. The suburb record carries no soil note, so the wall itself is the evidence, and a heavy mirror waits until a proper fixing point is found.
Can a gate and a door be on the same Kent Town list?
Yes, provided both are adjustments rather than rebuilds. A gate that has dropped and an internal door that will not latch are the same class of work, and both are re-hung and tested inside the same visit at a 5067 address.
Do small jobs need to be grouped to be worth booking?
Grouping is the whole point of the service. A Kent Town booking works best as five or six short items rather than one, because the travel and setup are already paid for by the first job on the list.
