Handyman to Repair Wall & Re-mount Thermostat

$150

Cairns City, Queensland

24th Jul 2025

Hello, We are looking for a skilled handyman to repair a section of wall and securely re-mount a thermostat at our retail store, in Cairns Central. The Issue: A Johnson Controls thermostat/sensor has been pulled from the plasterboard wall in a customer area. The screw anchor has failed, and the wall behind it is damaged, meaning it cannot be simply screwed back in. The unit is currently hanging loose, which presents a safety hazard. The Job: The task is to properly and securely re-attach the unit to the wall. The scope of work will include: 1. Assessing the damaged plasterboard. 2. Repairing the hole and installing a new, robust fixing (e.g., a suitable wall mate, toggle bolt, or other plasterboard anchor). 3. Carefully re-mounting the thermostat so that it is stable and sits flush against the wall. 4. Ensuring the final repair is neat and tidy. Please see the attached photos which show the loose unit and the damage to the wall. Requirements: - You must have experience with plasterboard repairs and securely mounting items to walls. - You must bring your own tools and all necessary materials (e.g., appropriate wall anchors, filler). - Ability to work cleanly and professionally within a retail environment. - Public liability insurance is required. Location & Timing: Location: Shop L01 106, Cairns Central, 1-21 McLeod Street, Cairns City QLD 4870 (exact location will be provided once the task is assigned). When: As this is a safety issue in a customer area, we need the job completed as soon as possible. Please state your availability in your offer. Please provide a quote for the complete job, inclusive of labour and any materials. Thank you.

Joss did a great job re-mounting the thermostat at our store. He was professional, efficient, and completed the task to a high standard. Highly recommended!
