We have repaired a subfloor and retiled a motel facade in Manifold Heights, and can fit out shops and offices on Shannon Avenue and maintain the school, churches and retirement village nearby. Several of those buildings are heritage-listed.
Manifold Heights’ businesses sit on the odd-numbered side of Shannon Avenue; the even side is Geelong West.
Commercial work among our 6 Manifold Heights jobs includes replacing about 1.5 square metres of subfloor flush, with new vinyl and plaster to match, and retiling about 65 square metres of a motel facade. We have also done kitchen carpentry for a builder here, with shelf supports, a vent repositioned and the floor levelled. Older commercial buildings hide their problems under the floor and behind the cladding.
The Manifold Heights side of Shannon Avenue runs from about 103 to 255, with 68 addresses in the shopping zone. Offices there were leased at 127 Shannon Avenue in January 2026 and at 131 in 2023. The Manifold Emporium at 139–141 Shannon Avenue is heritage-listed with paint controls, so external painting there can need a permit.
The Holy Spirit Church on Bostock Avenue is on the Victorian Heritage Register, the Geelong Mosque occupies the former Ashby Uniting Church, Manifold Heights Primary’s double-brick building was upgraded in 2018, and the Alexander Miller Memorial Homes village on Malvern Grove is heritage-listed with paint, tree and fence controls. Heritage buildings like these need repairs that respect the original fabric.

Beyond our expectations, and it was great to work with people who could turn our ideas into something better than we imagined. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
Prompt, great communication and a terrific job. Have used JF Maintenance for lots of work over the years and would recommend.
Michael worked with our budget and we were so impressed by their diligence and workmanship. They did not cut corners but went the extra mile. So impressed we engaged them again at another property.
A Baptist church opened on Shannon Avenue in 1923, and the state primary school three years later, as Manifold Heights filled with homes. The suburb takes its name from the Manifold family’s vineyards.
Shannon Avenue’s shops and offices still serve both sides of the street, with heritage churches and a retirement village nearby.
