Install a curtain rail and repair holes

$150

Newtown NSW 2042, Australia

29th May 2025

This is trickier than it sounds due to the material of the walls which seems to be some kind of hollow brick so neither the standard method for solid brick nor gyprock will do. The existing curtain rail needs to be lowered due to the installation of an air conditioner. There may be various other jobs we will offer as well (separate to this)

Good job, Tim was on time and completed the job well.

Hang painting, lamp, power strip on a brick wall. Install a door sweep

$100

Newtown NSW, Australia

7th Apr 2025

looking for someone to help hang a bunch of things. A painting, a power strip, and a light all on a brick wall. The light has a plastic rim that will need to have a small cut out to make room for the wire. Also need to install the door sweep. The door sweep will need to be trimmed to fit. The existing rubber door sweep will need to be removed. it would be awesome if you have time to do this tonight (Monday) but if not then we can work out a time for tomorrow as well.

Gyprock stud wall (quote to do) - 11m

$50

Newtown NSW, Australia

12th Mar 2025

Quote on gyprocking/plaster to 11m long stud wall. (Budget is just for you to come and quote, feel free to supply a quote for whole job but it’s probably best to see the space first) We are looking for handy-person with gyprock experience to assist us with finishing a renovation project in the coming weeks. We’re looking for someone to gyprock a stud wall, including cornices to ceiling. The wall (non load bearing) is approximately 11m in length, running the length/in front of an existing double brick wall (to conceal cabling/plumbing and create a flat surface). Other things to note: Dates of work: Due to the opening hours of our business, the work will need to be completed between Saturday evening-Tuesday mid-morning at some point over the coming weeks (so ideally, Sat night/Sun/Mon). You will have two trade assistants on site (if needed) or we can stay out of your way and work on other parts of the project. Access to the site is easy, its level 1 rear via a large industrial loading stairway (no bends), with a car park directly behind the building

Chuan was wonderful and very helpful and communicated well.

Handyman to re-anchor above-TV floating cabinet

Newtown, New South Wales

2nd Feb 2025

Our existing floating cabinet is slowly but surely coming off the wall. Seems like previous builder didn’t do the best job of securing it. Job to be done: * Install new fixings to existing studs (wall is gyprock) * Remove existing caulk and refill as required

From the initial quote, I noticed Dani asked the right questions that indicated he was experienced. On the scheduled day, he let me know when he was on his way. Upon arrival, Dani was polite and carried out the work. He did not rush through and the end result speaks volumes. He is a true handyman and his workmanship reflects his experience and attention to detail.

Airconditioner maintenance (re-post)

$200

Newtown NSW 2042, Australia

20th Feb 2022

***Reposting task with lower cost as requested by a few Airtaskers*** Air conditioning in house can be turned on for 4 different areas of the house, on have issues in 2 of the areas. 1) in the main Bedroom the air conditioner has become very loud and does not cool like it used to 2) Turing the the air con for study/office currently causes a leak in the roof of an adjoining toilet. This does not happen when it is raining only occurs if we have the air on on for this room for a while. (Photo of leak coming through roof in toilet attached) Air conditioning only installed just before we moved in about 3 years ago and it is not used frequently. Access seems very reasonable (based on me having 0 experience in the field) but I can see what appear to be several access points (2 photos attached) upstairs where the issues are and the attic has access also (2 Photos attached)

Really lovely guy, who took the time to explain what was going on - showed us what he had to do and why he had to do it. And he even checked the rest of the place for us. Highly recommended.
