Repair plaster and install hooks

$500

South Melbourne VIC 3205, Australia

9th Aug 2025

We have had a laundry drying rack attached to our laundry wall which was probably not attached to a strong enough point on one side. (Photo below) We would need the plaster repaired and if there is a stronger way to instal to have the rack re attached (there is some air conditioning wiring behind the wall so may not be possible to do this but we’d like your view!). Also we have some hooks to be installed in a separate wall which does have some blocking behind it and should be more solid. And a small acrylic shelf with custom holes attached in our pantry. If you think we need a more specialist plasterer for the first job let us know but hope this is a job you could do! Finally we have a cupboard in my son’s bedroom where it would be useful to have one or two additional shelves (just melamine or something similar) and wondering if you could advise on how to do this. Thankyou !!

Very careful, helpful and a high standard of work. Daniel did a range of tasks and did everything really well. Thankyou!
