Fix kitchen sink hoses & connect washing machine

$150

Newtown NSW, Australia

24th Jun 2025

Hello, I am looking for a licensed plumber to fix kitchen tap hoses and leaks, and finish installing a washing machine please in an apartment I have recently moved into. Kitchen plumbing - The flexible water feed hoses that connect to the kitchen taps have notices attached to them stating that they have been installed incorrectly. - There is very minor leaking. One leak from the metal water pipes where they intersect, and one leak from the waste pipe. - The first task is to install the hoses correctly, or replace if necessary. - The second task is to patch the leaks. I am not interested in replacing any pipes at this stage. Washing machine connection - I have a front loader machine that needs a cold tap connection only. - I have tried to attach the hose, but when I turn on the water, the connection sprays a lot of water. Please see photos provided. Building is from 1975. Apartment is in north Newtown. I can provide parking on site. Budget is for your time, allowing for an hour. Material costs on top of that if required. Would appreciate responses that consider the information provided here. Availability options: - Friday 18 June - Wednesday 2 July - Thursday 3 July - Friday 4 July Thank you

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)

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.

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.
