Good afternoon Mandy I think what Karl was trying to say is that customers can request a quote via the website or by calling 1800 803 339. When the job is accepted, the Hubby will provide a quote. The customer can review the Quote (and the Terms and Conditions on the back of the Quote), and accept it or decline it. Quotes are provided for the job, not by the hour. Kind regards Janet Hire A Hubby

My new carpet is to be installed end of this month. However, my bedroom door needs to be taken off and have the bottom shaved, to enable the opening and closing of the door. Do you have someone in my area of Craigieburn. To have this work done, how much would it cost, and when could it be done?

Why does HAH allow the name of a HAH Franchisee to be displayed on here for positive reviews, but remove the name(s) of HAH Franchisees for negative reviews?
Hi there We do not have the ability to remove names - Product Review does this because they may be defamatory. You could always ask Product Review if you need more information. Kind regards Janet Hire a Hubby
I would like to know what action HAH takes to remove rogue franchisees. I have noticed two reviews about a particular HAH who wanted to do cash jobs who the HAH rep said on here they would investigate (some time ago) and then I see that same franchisee be reviewed as overcharging yet another customer and refusing a refund very recently. I have looked at the legislation that regulates Franchising in Australia and it would seem to some degree that there is limited power to deal with rogue franchisees until they have broken laws or become bankrupt. I personally dealt with a seperate HAH who did breach the ACL and your "Field Manager" was powerless to do anything meaningful. So please tell; what action?
Hi there Thank you for your feedback. We have already replied to your reviews. Please refer to those for information on what we do with negative feedback. Kind regards Janet Hire A Hubby
You haven't answered the question so I will repeat it. What action does HAH as a franchisor take against rogue franchisees? Also what reviews? I have only written one for Hire A Hubby (Upwey).
Hi there We have comprehensive in-house processes to deal with customer feedback/reviews. We do not disclose these publicly. Kind regards Janet Hire a Hubby
LOL again you didn't answer the question. I will take it that you don't want to or can't.
What is an average rate charged? I was charged $117/hr for some simple handyman jobs. This is rediculous to me? Does this sound right?
Hi Scott, Thank you for reaching out to Hire A Hubby. Each of our franchisees are individual owners of their business. As such I can't give you an hourly or average rate because each franchisee provides a quote for individual jobs. The quote is based on the job, materials required, labour, approximate time to do the job, and other things unique to the job or as requested by the property owner.
Kind regards,
Karl - Hire A Hubby
Effort to fix some loose table legs and change a change a pop up vanity plug to a standard plug. Only material needed was a new standard plug for $7. What should I expect in labour?
Hi Scott, Did you use one of our Hubby Franchisees or someone else? I can only suggest you ask for an itemised bill and query it with whom provided the work. Alternatively, if you would like a free quote, please contact us via our website: external link
Kind regards,
Karl - Hire A Hubby
Do HaH view the job to give a free quote? Or do they quote from the job description?
Hi Scott,
Hire A Hubby do both. For smaller jobs we can offer an estimate without a site visit. Hire A Hubby may want to do a site visit depending on the complexity of the work and then offer you a quotation. Thanks,
Karl

Hi just wondering what your hourly rate is please?
Hi Cheryl Happy Thursday. Thank you for reaching out to Hire A Hubby. Each of our franchisees are individual owners of their business.

What would be the approximate hourly rate to covert a linen cupboard into a wardrobe in Glenelg please ? Graeme Yelland 0418530840
Hi Graeme We don't work on hourly rates because each of our franchisees are their own separate business and quotes depend on the specific and unique requirements of the job, the labour involved, the materials required, etc.
I'll ask the Glenelg franchisee, John Abbott, to give you a call to discuss. His mobile number (if you need it) is 0412660393.
Kind regards Janet Hire A Hubby (Sydney)
Hi, I have a HireaHubby that gave me a quote do some carpentry work for $2800 and he has asked for $1000 up front to purchase materials. Is this legitimate?
i don't know about the legality of it. I suggest you contact them directly. I only commented on the service I recieved
Hi Tracy
Thank you for your question.
My suggestion would be to read the Terms & Conditions on the back of the Quote.
Kind regards Janet Hire A Hubby
when I rang the 1800 number I have been told that if the local hire a hubby cannot or does not want to do the work we cannot approach anybody else from hire a hubby to do the work. is this correct?
Hi Peter, If your local hubby is unavailable you should be directed to a surrounding hubby. We will follow this issue up with our call centre. If you book online at external link you should be allocated the nearest hubby.
Kind regards, Laurence
From the review I can see about 20% of customers were not happy; it is a large percentage; 80% rating 5 stars is good. I have two questions for the management of Hubby: 1. How do you control the cost of any work, or you leave quoted price at the discretion of tradesman? 2. How do you control the quality of work done? Regards, Minh Nguyen
Why not simply ask them directly rather than ask in a review site?
Obviously has no idea how franchises work...
He has a legitimate question. I got a quote from the franchisee. Thought he would be doing the work. But he left the work for someone he hired. Wasn't entirely happy with the work, the worker's inability to answer questions, and he didn't clean up afterwards.
Hi Book Lover Each of our franchisees is a separate business under the umbrella of Hire A Hubby. We have standards and processes in place that the Franchisees must follow. Where required, they must hold licences to perform certain works. Field Managers are in regular contact with all Franchisees they manage. Costs and quotes and work carried out are managed by each Franchisee. As the owner of their business, the Franchisee is ultimately responsible for quality and workmanship. Our Operations team and head office help, guide, coach, and advise franchisees as much as we can and whenever required to ensure standards are upheld, and processes are followed. The Operations team will meet franchisees on a daily basis, meet with goups of franchisees fortnightly, monthly, and quarterly and once a year we have a national conference. No stone goes unturned. I hope this makes sense. Kind regards Janet
