Meet the owner
Twelve years. One ute. One dog.
Hammer & Hound is run out of a little workshop shed in Maylands by Dave Fraser — twelve years on the tools, one border collie called Biscuit who comes along for the drive and waits patiently in the cab. No call-centre, no sub-contractors, no "oh, we'll have to come back next week". If Dave quotes you Tuesday at 9, he's there Tuesday at 9 with the right drill bits and a dust sheet for the floor.
- ✓Turn up on timeYour window is a 30-minute arrival, not "sometime Thursday".
- ✓Quote is the priceNo hourly creep. If it grows, I tell you before I start.
- ✓Dust sheets & tidyFloors covered, off-cuts bagged, vacuum on the way out.
- ✓Licensed referralsFor jobs outside my lane, I hand you to trusted sparkies & plumbers.
Word of mouth
Honest notes from neighbours.
Most of the calls Dave gets are from friends of his last customer. That’s the whole marketing plan.
★★★★★
“Dave turned up when he said he would — which after this year of tradies is basically a miracle — priced the fence fix at the quote, no surprises. Cleaned up before he left too.”

“Three flat-pack wardrobes and a queen bed in an afternoon. He even noticed a dodgy hinge on my laundry door and fixed it without adding to the bill.”

★★★★★
“We had a growing list of little jobs from moving in — picture rails, bathroom hooks, wobbly loo seat, sticking back door. One morning, all of it done. Biscuit the dog was an added bonus.”

Before you call
Straight answers.
- Yes — a $90 minimum covers up to the first hour on-site for small jobs. It keeps the pricing honest on quick visits and means I can still afford to drive out for the "just one picture" jobs everyone else turns down.
