Help unscrew blind chain from wall safely

$100

South Melbourne VIC 3205, Australia

15th Aug 2026

I need help installing an Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1 on an existing roller blind. The Aqara unit itself is straightforward, but the existing blind chain setup makes me reluctant to do it myself. The chain guide/tensioner has recently been repaired and appears to have been attached to the wall using putty/adhesive rather than screws (see photo). Because I'm renting, I don't want to pull on it, damage the wall, or accidentally pull the blind fitting off while trying to access/reposition the chain. I already have: Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1 Original Aqara mounting bracket 3M adhesive mounting strip Chain adapters/accessories supplied with the unit I'm looking for someone with experience with roller blinds, blind chains or smart blind motors who can: Work out the safest way to install the Aqara driver with the existing chain setup Avoid damaging or pulling out the existing chain guide/tensioner Install the driver securely, preferably without drilling Set the correct chain tension and position Make sure the blind runs smoothly up and down once installed As this is a rental, the priority is a clean, reversible installation with minimal disturbance to the existing blind hardware. I've attached photos of the current chain fitting and the Aqara unit/bracket so you can see what you're working with.

Very helpful and nice. Would recommend and hire again

A couple of bolts on our food processor have come loose, I’m not able to get there and the tools aren’t there. They bolts are easily accessible from the outside and a hex is on the other side of the bolt which will need to be held so it doesn’t spin while tightening. I need this job done asap please, it’s the quickest $50.00 you’re likely to make. Literally a 2 minute job. - Due date: Needs to be done on Thursday, 1 December 2022

Thanks so much for coming out to our cafe Marc. We were in a tight spot with being half way through food processing. Marc was able to come on very short notice fortunately and got us back up and running in no time. Friendly, fast and a great service. We hope to have you back. Thanks again Marc
