Install blind

$50

West Footscray VIC, Australia

22nd Sep 2026

I am renting and am looking for a blind to be installed within the window frame for sun and heat blocking. The window already has shutters so I need something to go on the inside of the frame. I have taken measurements (below) but they are rough so I would prefer if you came to take measurements. Because I am renting I would like the cheapest option that is not going to do too much damage to the window frame, even something temporary but that is easy to use. I have not purchased anything and am looking for assistance with this. Approx measurements: 8.5 - depth 144.5 - height 177 - width

Great communication and super efficient!

Please quote separately for: - Repairing the existing timber jamb/frame and rehanging/adjusting the existing security door. - Optional cost to supply/install a modern charcoal or black security/screen door at the same time Looking for a proper repair rather than simply filling the damaged timber and putting screws back into it.

Handyman needed: adjust 3 doors + repair loose deck fixings

$150

West Footscray VIC 3012, Australia

10th Aug 2026

Looking for an experienced handyman/carpenter for two jobs at our house in West Footscray. The house was renovated a few years ago and has experienced some normal movement/settlement since then. 1. INTERNAL DOORS One internal door has moved out of alignment and is now catching/not closing properly. There are also two bedroom doors immediately beside it on the same level. These are not causing the same obvious problem, but I would like all three checked and adjusted where required. Scope: • Inspect all 3 doors, frames, hinges and alignment. • Adjust the main problem door so it opens, closes and latches properly. • Check and adjust the 2 neighbouring bedroom doors where required. • Adjust hinges and striker plates as required. • Plane/trim doors only where necessary. • Keep alterations to the minimum required. • Advise if there are any issues with the frames requiring further work. 2. FRONT TIMBER DECK The front timber deck has nails that are gradually lifting/popping up. I have hammered some back down, but a number continue to work their way back up. I do NOT want every nail replaced but I do want nails re tapped and the main support nails to be replaced with deck screws. Scope: • Inspect the entire deck for loose or raised nails. • Remove problem nails and replace them with suitable exterior decking screws. • Secure any deck boards that have movement. • Ensure screw heads are fitted neatly and flush with the timber. • Supply suitable exterior decking screws and minor materials. GENERAL • Please bring all required tools. • Clean up all dust, timber shavings, old nails and rubbish. • Leave all work areas clean and tidy. • Please include labour and minor materials in your offer. • Please advise your experience with door adjustment and timber decking. • Photos attached.

Repair plaster cracks and repaint affected areas, West Footscray

$250

West Footscray VIC 3012, Australia

10th Aug 2026

Repair plaster cracks & repaint affected areas, West Footscray (photos attached of some) We are looking for an experienced plasterer/painter to repair internal plaster cracks and repaint the affected areas at our house in West Footscray. The house was renovated a few years ago. These are the first plaster repairs since the renovation. We deliberately waited a few years for the house to settle and movement cracks to appear before completing the repairs. Photos show the main areas requiring attention. Scope: • Inspect the areas shown and identify any smaller associated cracks nearby. • Properly prepare cracks, including removing loose material where required. • Repair and fill cracks using appropriate plaster repair methods and materials. • Repair internal corners/joints where movement has caused cracking or separation. • Sand repairs smooth. • Apply primer/sealer where required. • Repaint affected wall and ceiling areas so repairs blend neatly with surrounding surfaces. • Protect floors, cabinetry and surrounding areas. • Clean up all plaster dust, sanding residue and rubbish when finished. Paint colour is Dulux White on White. We may have sufficient paint at the property (not sure as may be under stairs). If not, we will reimburse the cost of a 10L tin of Dulux White on White upon receipt. Please supply plaster, filler, primer, sanding materials and other normal repair consumables. We want the cracks properly repaired, not simply filled over. Finished repairs should be smooth and painted to blend with the existing surfaces. Please include labour, repair materials, normal consumables and clean up in your offer. Please also advise your experience with similar plaster repairs and your availability.

Plastering: 4 small wall patches + install 1m cornice (West Footscray)

$350

West Footscray VIC 3012, Australia

27th Jun 2026

Hi, I am preparing my apartment for inspection and need a local plasterer or skilled handyman for a few small repair jobs. Plaster Patches: There are 3 small wall/corner patches and a larger patch in the bottom of a cupboard that need to be cut out, replaced/filled, and sanded back perfectly smooth ready for paint. The plaster has pulled away due to old, resolved moisture (the area is completely dry now, no active leak). Cornice: Need approx 1 metre of cornice installed above the cupboard. I already have a length of cornice on site. You will need to cut to size, bring cornice cement, cut the mitre corners, and install/blend it. Please bring your own plaster, base coats, and tools. I have the wall paint ready to go. Looking to get this completed ASAP. Thanks!

Jovanni was very efficient and did a great job patching up, sealing and painting. Will call him again for future patch and paint jobs.

I need someone to repair my roller blind. The fabric has come off the roller tube and prior to that the winder wasn't working properly (it would unravel).

As it's a long, wide blind, I'm happy to help with the rehang if required.

Good afternoon, We need some maintenance for our main HVAC unit (model as shown in the in pictures). It works well, but we need some general maintenance.
