ODD JOBS — BY THE HOUR / STEPNEY 5069
Odd jobs in Stepney, gathered into one visit.
THE WHOLE LIST. ONE VISIT.
Stepney is postcode 5069 and 3.17 km from the Adelaide CBD, within the 60 km service area. The record for the suburb carries the postcode and distance and no separate soil or terrain note, which means a Stepney list is planned from what is actually on it. The walls are checked at the visit, and the work is ordered the way you set it out.
The Stepney list nobody books a trade for
There is a category of work that sits below a specialist trade and above doing nothing: the tap that drips at the handle, the drawer that will not run, the seal that has gone grey, the picture still on the floor. Individually they are too small to chase. Together they are one Stepney visit, and that is how most lists here get cleared.

Stepney: the recorded ground and the working method
Stepney's record gives the postcode 5069, a distance of 3.17 km from the CBD and inclusion in the 60 km service area, with no separate soil or terrain note. Because the ground is not described, the substrate is what counts: plaster is probed for a stud, brick and stone are drilled and plugged, and the fixing is matched to the item rather than the other way around.
The jobs that get referred
A tap body or a leaking pipe under the floor is plumbing, not odd jobs, and a fitting that needs a circuit changed is electrical. Those are referred as soon as they are identified, and the rest of the Stepney list carries on rather than stalling.
Straight answers
Why group small jobs into one Stepney visit?
Because the setup, travel and packing cost the same whether the list has one item or six. At a 5069 address the practical move is to walk the house once, write everything down, and have it worked in a single stretch.
Is it worth having a dripping tap handled as odd jobs?
A washer, O-ring or reseat is, and it is done in the same visit. If the tap body itself has failed, that is a plumber, and it is identified so the rest of the Stepney list is not held up waiting on it.
What is the best order for a Stepney list?
Wet area seals first, so they cure while other work happens, then anything involving doors and drawers, then the small hanging and tightening jobs. The order is yours, but that sequence gets the most done in the booked time.
Can items be added on the day in Stepney?
If the time allows, yes. The list is worked in your order, and anything that turns up late is added at the end rather than jumping the queue, so a 3.17 km trip is never wasted on one forgotten bracket.
