Cut timber floorboard access hatch and drill borehole

$250

Nunawading VIC 3131, Australia

4th Aug 2026

Need a local handyman/carpenter in Nunawading for a quick 2-visit task: Cutout 1 (Footing Probe): Cut a neat 450x450mm square hatch through internal timber floorboards at the living/dining threshold using a plunge saw/multi-tool. Keep the timber piece intact and screw simple timber batons underneath so it sits flush. Cutout 2 (Borehole): Drill a small 65mm round hole through the floorboard in the dining area using a hole-saw bit (save timber plug). Return Visit: Pop back after soil testing to screw both cutouts back flush and safe for my family.

Exceptional work from Nandor. He took great care to measure and cut the timber floorboards neatly and accurately according to our floor plan. He was professional, communicated clearly throughout the task, and cleaned up all the sawdust afterward. The hatch sits perfectly flush. Will definitely hire him again!
