Building repairs and maintenance in Springs and Gauteng
One maintenance contractor for painting, paving, plumbing, tiling, carpentry, ceilings and drywall partitioning — on a once-off quote or a planned maintenance package.
Shades of Blue repairs and maintains offices, retail shops, medical rooms and municipal buildings: painting, paving, plumbing, tiling, carpentry, ceilings and drywall partitioning, once-off or on a maintenance package.
Facilities work, done by one accountable contractor
Our speciality is repairing and maintaining offices, retail shops, medical consulting rooms and municipal buildings. We also take on private homes and complexes.
One call covers several trades. A water leak that stained a ceiling needs a plumber, a ceiling board, a painter and sometimes a tiler. We send one team, one quote and one invoice.
Planned maintenance packages
For buildings that need regular attention we agree a maintenance package: scheduled check-ups and minor repairs at an agreed monthly rate, with larger work quoted separately. It keeps a building in shape without a procurement cycle for every broken hinge.

Questions we get asked
Do you charge for a quote?

How do payments work?

Do you do insurance repair work?
Yes. We repair damage covered by building and home-owners insurance and supply the quotes and photographs your insurer asks for.
