Screw the
Stereotype

Handywoman at your service

Ten years fixing things for a living, a mechanical engineering background, and a full tool kit — booked by women who are done waiting on a tradesman.

The problem

The maintenance list nobody's calling about

Most households' repairs, bookings and trade access are managed by women — but the industry is still built around talking to the man of the house.

72%
of outsourced household maintenance is managed by the woman in the home.
4/5
women at one Brisbane book club admitted to a maintenance to-do list they'd stalled on.
13–30%
of women aged 20+ (and 65+) live alone — often without a trusted tradesperson on call.
