Repair ceiling plaster and leak patch (plus dance pole removal)

$250

Woden Valley ACT 2606, Australia

25th Sep 2026

Hi, I was installing a dancing pole at home and damaged my ceiling plaster. I need an experienced handyman or plasterer to help with the pole removal and two ceiling repairs. 1. Pole removal: I installed a SereneLife tension dance pole and since noticing the plaster damage, am unable to remove the pole by myself. I might need some help loosening the pole if it’s needed for repair work to start. 2. Repair tension damage & Reinforce ceiling: The pressure from the pole has caused a minor plaster failure on the ceiling sheet. There is a ~2-inch hairline fracture line running perpendicular to the timber joist, a blown tape bubble right next to it, and a popped drywall screw. You will likely need to drive 2x new 60mm drywall screws into the joist to secure the plasterboard sheet, cut out the loose bubble/tape, V-groove the crack, mesh/paper tape it, flush it with joint compound, sand it smooth, and paint it to match (I can provide ceiling white paint). 3. Repair an Old Water Leak Area (Separate Location, Same Room): In a different part of the same ceiling, there is a ~1m long area and a few minor spots around it (including around a light fixture) with historical water damage (the roof leak has been fixed a year ago and it is 100% dry and had a sparky inspect its safety to repair). You will need to scrape back the flaking/peeling paint finish, apply a stain blocking primer sealer, and patch/skim coat any deep divots, sand, and paint to match. Requirements: 1. Must bring your own tools, ladders, drywall screws, joint compound/tape, and stain-blocking primer. Experience in plastering/gyprock patching is essential. Must be careful not to damage the dance pole. Location: Phillip ACT

Repair track of my garage door, and fix a couple of kitchen doors

$350

Kambah ACT 2902, Australia

24th Sep 2026

- The track of the garage roller door (electric) is not aligned (the motor is fine). When you try to open the door it starts to bunch up on one side while the motor is running. In the meantime, we are pulling it down or rolling it up manually. - One kitchen sliding door is out of alignment, it’s stuck and is very hard to slide. - The last one is a kitchen cupboard door, with a faulty concealed hinged. The door is not closing properly. (we already tried adjusting the hinge, we suspect it’s broken)

Very skilled. Very happy with the job. He fixed our garage roller door, a kitchen sliding door and cupboard hinges. He definitely knows what he’s doing.
