Make lounge blinds compliant

$200

Surry Hills NSW, Australia

28th Mar 2026

I’m moving to London next week and need my blinds to be compliant in order to get Landlord Insurance on my apartment before my new tenant moves in. I imagine there will be two parts to this job - inspecting the blinds and then proposing a solution and costs so please quote based on this. Essentially there are three pulley system blinds on each side of the lounge - the two outer blinds are fine as the string hangs by the wall but the central ones have a non compliant pulley. I’m looking for the fastest way to get this sorted. Note - I live on the third floor of an apartment building with no elevator if this impacts any work.

Such a lovely couple and were able to think on the spot to find a solution for my blinds! Highly recommend.

Freestanding outdoor privacy screen to split shared balcony

$50

Surry Hills, New South Wales

11th Feb 2026

I moved into a new apartment (rental) and there is a shared balcony between the 2 bedrooms. I want to put a freestanding outdoor privacy screen in the middle of the balcony to split it into 2 and isolate the bedrooms that way for privacy. I am looking for someone to get and install this. As it is a rental, I do not want any drilling into the wall, hence why choosing a simple freestanding outdoor privacy screen Width from wall to balcony rail is 65-66 cm Height of balcony rail is 107 cm Ideally I want the freestanding outdoor privacy screen to go to around 170 cm So height 150-170 cm, width around balcony width It can be purchased or made, i dont mind. Whatever is easier
