Ted was amazing! He was so meticulous and professional about every detail. He really ensured our brand new car had a dashcam that was neatly, discretely and nicely tucked away. He even went through in detail the use of the dash cam, set up the settings and guided us through how to use it. He was prompt to the job, showing up with a smile and a can do attitude. Couldn't recommend you enough Ted, well done. You really are a super expert in this area 😀

New description Apartment maintenance – shower drain, sliding wardrobe doors & entry door closer Hi, Looking for a handyman / maintenance person to inspect and repair 3 issues in my apartment: 1. Shower drain cover/channel The long shower drain cover/channel is loose and does not sit securely in place. I took it to Bunnings and was advised it may need a custom replacement piece or custom solution rather than an off-the-shelf part. Looking for someone to inspect, supply and install the appropriate fix/replacement. 2. Sliding wardrobe doors The mirrored sliding wardrobe doors do not roll smoothly and regularly get stuck/jam. I believe the wardrobe door tracks/runner system need replacing. I do not have replacement tracks or parts, so I’m looking for someone who can inspect, supply the required tracks/rollers and install them. The goal is for both doors to slide smoothly without sticking or catching. 3. Entry door closer The apartment entry door previously closed and latched automatically by itself. It now no longer fully closes/shuts on its own and often remains partially open unless pushed shut manually. Looking for someone to inspect and adjust or repair the door closer mechanism so the door closes and latches properly again. Photos attached. Please quote including labour and advise whether parts are likely required after inspection. Please also advise if you can complete all three items in the same visit. Old description -fix door so it closes by itself and shuts completely -fix shower drain, needs new inserts (apparently custom to this particular drain) -fix wardrobe roller door bottoms (need new track replaced) Please quote including labour and parts

What's required: - Reattach the tilt wands on two Venetian blinds (the wands have come off). - Untangle the cords and wand on one blind so it can be raised and lowered properly again. - Tidy and straighten the cords on all three blinds, as they're currently tangled and messy. - Check that all three blinds are operating correctly before leaving.

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
