Hired Help Ltd is a 100% locally owned home help specialist based in Templeton, Christchurch, built around a simple idea: completing the jobs homeowners just don't have time for. From fixing a door that won't stay shut or assembling a kitset, to rebuilding a deck or giving a kitchen a new lease of life, the team takes care of the full project from start to finish.
Their services span six areas: flatpack assembly covering furniture, cabinets, trampolines, sports equipment, BBQs and garden sheds; decking and fencing construction including retaining walls, staining and finishing; tiling for entranceways, splashbacks, walls and floors; kitchen and bathroom updates from minor touch-ups to full demolition and rebuild; lawns and garden care; and a maintenance and odd jobs service handling everything from TV mounting and pet doors to gutter repairs and water blasting.
Customer reviews consistently highlight prompt communication, on-time arrival, attention to detail and fair pricing — which the team attributes to being locally owned and not part of a franchise.

Hired Help Ltd is a home help specialist based in Templeton, Christchurch, with a simple mission: to complete the jobs you just don't have time for. Locally owned and not part of any franchise, the business tackles everything from the smallest niggle — a door that won't stay shut, a picture that needs hanging — to major projects like full deck rebuilds and complete kitchen renovations.
The team's philosophy starts with a familiar truth: weekends are precious, and unfinished jobs around the house have a way of weighing on you. Rather than letting that list of repairs grow, Hired Help positions itself as your one-stop helping hand, with the experience and know-how to fit, fix or repair just about anything around the home.
Flatpack assembly is one of Hired Help's signature offerings. We all like a challenge from time to time, but sometimes kitset or flatpack is just a step too far — as the team puts it, they're there to save your relationship. They assemble all types of kitsets, from furniture and cabinets to trampolines, sports equipment, BBQs and garden sheds. There's no call-out or delivery fee: those costs are covered within the minimum assembly charge, and a job includes sourcing the item or picking it up from the retailer if pre-purchased, delivery, assembly, all rubbish disposal and GST.
Outdoors, decking and fencing work celebrates a great Kiwi tradition — living outside through the warmer months. Hired Help builds new decks, fences and retaining walls from scratch, extends or renovates existing structures, and handles staining and finishing. Whatever the budget, they can help, from a tidy-up of an existing structure to a full custom design and build.
Inside the home, tiling services cover entranceways, splashbacks and wall and floor tiling — a durable way to bring individual flair to heavy-traffic areas. Kitchen and bathroom work spans everything from minor touch-ups to full replacement: cabinetry, appliances, flooring, splashbacks, tiles and benchtops, including complete demolition and rebuilds when a space needs a fresh start.
Then there's the everyday maintenance list that never quite gets done: leaking gutters, gates that no longer shut, section tidy-ups, water blasting, weatherboard repair and replacement, door and window repair, pet doors, mirrors and pictures, TV mounting and appliance installs. Lawns and garden care rounds it out, with mowing, hedge trimming, pruning, spraying and tidy-ups.
The five-star reviews on Hired Help's site tell a consistent story. Maree from Wainoni praised prompt replies, three choices of days to fit the work in, on-time arrival and very fair pricing for fantastic work. Hannah from Spreydon was so impressed that nothing was a problem and the attention to detail was amazing. Carolyn from Sydenham described a super nice guy who was really helpful, great with communication, and went out of his way to help.
That blend of clear communication, punctuality and fair pricing is exactly what the team points to when explaining what makes them different. Because they're 100% locally owned and not part of a franchise, they say customers can be confident the fees are fair — there's no head office behind the quote.
Booking is deliberately easy. Send a message through the website, call 0204 175 8463 or email hello@hiredhelp.co.nz to request a quote or book a job, and the team will provide an estimate before commencing work so there are no surprises.
