Property Maintenance
The odd-jobs list that never gets shorter, handled in one visit. Repairs, installations, fittings and finishing work across Belconnen and Gungahlin, quoted in writing before anything starts, with the same tradesman from first look to final clean-up.
Repairs that hold, because the cause gets diagnosed before the symptom gets patched. Doors, locks, cabinetry, fixtures, walls and trims across Canberra, repaired and made good so the fix disappears into the house instead of announcing itself.
Repaints that hold, because the preparation is the job and the paint is the last twenty per cent. Interiors, exteriors, weatherboards and trim across Canberra, with timber damage repaired first rather than painted over and left to come back.
Doors, frames, trim and cabinetry repaired at the cause rather than planed at the symptom, then refinished to match what is already there. Canberra timber moves hard between seasons, and a proper repair accounts for that instead of resetting the clock.
Gutters cleared, downpipes flushed and tested, valleys emptied, and a photo report of what the roof actually looks like. Minor leaks and flashing faults fixed while we are up there rather than quoted for a second visit.
Fences that stop leaning because the post gets fixed, not the paling. Panels, palings, gates, hinges and latches repaired across Canberra, with a quote written so it can be shared straight down the middle with your neighbour.
The small wet-area faults that turn into big ones: perished silicone, cracked grout, loose fittings and swollen vanity cabinetry, put right before water gets behind the tiles. Licensed plumbing work is referred to a licensed plumber and coordinated into the job.
Bathrooms and kitchens renovated to a fixed scope with the allowances and exclusions written down, so the price you accept is the price you pay. Carpentry, cabinetry, tiling and finishing in-house, with licensed trades engaged and coordinated around them.
Driveways, paths, decks, patios, fences and house exteriors brought back without etching the concrete or furring the timber. Pressure and technique matched to each surface, plants and drainage protected, and faults found while we are there flagged rather than ignored.
Trade-standard carpentry at house scale: hung doors, whole-house trim, built-in storage and timber replacement, set out and finished properly. The work that is too skilled for a handyman and too small for a builder to bother pricing.
Timber pergolas, carports, verandahs and patio covers built on proper footings and detailed for Canberra frost and summer heat. Approval criteria checked before the quote goes out, not after the posts go in.
New timber and composite decks built from the substructure up, plus reboarding, repairs and restoration of decks that have gone grey or spongy. Joists, footings and drainage specified properly, because that is what decides how long the boards last.
Solid, engineered and laminate floors laid with the subfloor moisture-tested and the boards acclimatised first, plus board repairs and full sand-and-refinish work. The preparation nobody sees is what stops a Canberra floor cupping.
ABOUT US
Reliable Property Maintenance
Zenith Property Care is a Canberra property maintenance and carpentry business run by Sumith Rajendra Kurup from Dunlop, in the city's north. Sumith started Zenith after seven years on the tools, because he kept hearing the same three complaints from homeowners: quotes that never arrived, tradesmen who did not turn up, and small jobs nobody wanted to take on. The business was built to answer all three. Every job is priced in writing before work begins, that price is held, and the person who quoted the work is the person who turns up to do it. Zenith now looks after more than 350 Canberra homes across the Belconnen and Gungahlin districts, covering handyman repairs, door and timber work, interior and exterior painting, roof and gutter maintenance, fence and gate repairs, pressure cleaning, decks, pergolas, carports, timber flooring and full kitchen and bathroom renovations. The business carries $5,000,000 public liability cover through QBE and operates under ABN 99 235 416 682. Whether it is a sticking gate in Ngunnawal or a new merbau deck in Nicholls, the standard does not change: quoted properly, built properly, cleaned up properly. Call Sumith on 0452 549 439.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know about our Property Maintenance In
How much will my job cost?
How soon can you get to me?
Most Belconnen and Gungahlin jobs are booked within the same week, and urgent repairs like a failed lock or a leaking gutter are usually seen sooner. Larger work such as a deck, pergola or renovation is scheduled by agreed start date. Call 0452 549 439 and we will tell you honestly where you sit in the diary.
Are you insured?
Yes. Zenith Property Care carries $5,000,000 public liability cover through QBE, and we are happy to send the certificate of currency before we start. We also work under ABN 99 235 416 682.
Which Canberra suburbs do you cover?
We work right across the Belconnen and Gungahlin districts, including Ngunnawal, Harrison, Franklin, Bonner, Casey, Amaroo, Nicholls, Kaleen, Bruce, Dunlop, Macgregor and Holt. Our base is in Dunlop, so travel across the north of Canberra is short. If your street sits outside that list, call and ask rather than assuming.

Property Maintenance
Zenith Property Care covers property maintenance across Canberra, working primarily through the Belconnen and Gungahlin districts from a base in Dunlop. Canberra is harder on a house than most Australian cities and it shows up in predictable places: gutters loaded with eucalypt leaf and bark year-round, doors and gates that bind after a season of timber movement, exterior paint chalked off by high-altitude ultraviolet, and decks and pergolas with posts rotted at the soil line. The city's building stock runs from the 1968 to 1974 Belconnen brick veneer through Bruce, Holt, Macgregor and Kaleen, to the slab-on-ground Gungahlin estates settled from 2010 in Bonner and Casey, and the two fail in completely different ways. Thirteen services cover repairs, painting, gutters, fencing, carpentry, decking, pergolas, flooring and renovations. Written quotes before any work, $5,000,000 QBE public liability cover, ABN 99 235 416 682. Call 0452 549 439.
Ngunnawal is the largest suburb Zenith Property Care covers, with 10,957 residents across 4.2 square kilometres at the 2021 census, and it has reached the age where maintenance stops being optional. Gazetted on 24 April 1992 and built out through the 1990s, the bulk of Ngunnawal housing is now thirty years old, which is precisely when original fences, decks, pergolas, exterior paint and gutter systems all come due within a few years of each other. Zenith works the suburb constantly from a base in Dunlop, a short run across Gungahlin Drive, handling repairs, painting, gutters, fencing, carpentry, decking and renovations. Everything is quoted in writing before it starts, with $5,000,000 QBE public liability cover and more than 7 years of local work behind it. Call 0452 549 439.
Gungahlin is the densest suburb Zenith Property Care covers and the one where property maintenance looks least like the Canberra stereotype. Gazetted in 1998 around a town centre launched in 1991, it mixes detached housing with a large volume of townhouses and apartments along Hibberson Street and Gungahlin Place, where the light rail terminus has sat since April 2019. That mix changes the work: less roof and paddock-sized fencing, far more internal repairs, cabinetry, wet areas, balcony timber, courtyard fencing and finishing on properties that turn over tenants regularly. Zenith covers all of it from a base in Dunlop, a short run east along Gungahlin Drive, and quotes everything in writing before it starts. $5,000,000 QBE public liability cover, ABN 99 235 416 682, more than 7 years locally. Call 0452 549 439.
Belconnen is the most apartment-heavy suburb Zenith Property Care covers, and it changes the job completely. At the 2021 census 74.9% of dwellings in the suburb were units or apartments, concentrated in the high-rise around Chandler and Beissel Streets and stepping down through the medium-density of Ginninderra Heights to the lower-density pockets of Emu Ridge. Gazetted in 1983 around Lake Ginninderra, Westfield Belconnen and the Emu Bank foreshore, this is a suburb where property maintenance means interior repairs, cabinetry, wet areas, balcony timber and courtyard work far more often than roofs and fence runs. Zenith covers it from Dunlop, a short run down Belconnen Way, and quotes in writing before starting. $5,000,000 QBE public liability cover, ABN 99 235 416 682. Call 0452 549 439.
Harrison sits at an awkward and expensive age. Gazetted on 18 October 1991 but built out from the mid-2000s, with Harrison School opening in 2008, the bulk of the suburb's housing is now fifteen to twenty years old. That is the point where builder-grade fittings finish their run: hinges, drawer runners, door hardware, tapware and shower seals installed to a developer's budget all reach the end of their life within a few years of each other, while the house itself still looks new. Add developer-installed fencing now failing at the gate, and the first round of exterior recoating, and it is a busy suburb. Zenith Property Care covers Harrison from Dunlop, quotes everything in writing beforehand, and carries $5,000,000 QBE public liability cover under ABN 99 235 416 682. Call 0452 549 439.
Kaleen was gazetted on 15 January 1974, which makes its housing about fifty years old, and fifty-year-old Canberra brick veneer under a mature eucalypt canopy generates a very specific list of work. Gutters load continuously rather than seasonally. Jamb timber has had half a century of hinge screws chewing into it. Original trim profiles are long out of production. Galvanised guttering from the first fit-out is reaching the end of its life. And under a great deal of Kaleen carpet sits original hardwood flooring that is well worth bringing back. Zenith Property Care works the suburb from Dunlop, quotes in writing before starting, and carries $5,000,000 QBE public liability cover under ABN 99 235 416 682. Call 0452 549 439.
