Handyman in Steglitz-Zehlendorf – for houses with a garden and a cellar

Steglitz-Zehlendorf is Berlin’s borough of detached houses. Lichterfelde West has villas from the imperial era, Dahlem generous houses from the 1910s to the 1930s, and Zehlendorf and Wannsee family homes on large plots, often full of trees. Rented flats are concentrated around Schloßstraße in Steglitz, a mix of Altbau and post-war blocks.

A house from the 1920s or 1930s has usually been modernised several times, rarely in one go. Typical findings: circuits not designed for a modern kitchen and today’s appliances, a cellar that smells damp, and water pipes from different decades. We check on site and tell you plainly what’s urgent.

Then there’s everything a garden plot brings: outdoor sockets and lights, leaves in the gutters, checking the cellar after heavy rain. If you let the house or are often away, our caretaking service covers scheduled inspections with a photo log in the customer portal. Roofing, dormers and gas appliances belong with specialist firms – we can coordinate their visits for you.

On larger plots, owners more often ask about a carport, a garage, an extension or converting the loft. We treat these as projects of their own, with a site visit and a written quote, and work out structural calculations and permits with you and your architect. If there are old trees on the plot, check first with the borough office what Berlin’s tree protection rules allow.

From our office at Landhausstraße 31, Bundesallee runs south to Walther-Schreiber-Platz, where Schloßstraße begins. Steglitz town hall is about 3.5 km in a straight line, Lichterfelde West about 5.5 km, Zehlendorf town hall about 8 km, and Wannsee is the furthest point. Travel within Berlin is included in the fixed price, right out to the city limits.
