Modify built in wardrobe

$1,600

Curtin ACT 2605, Australia

6th Jun 2025

We have a vanity nook in a bedroom that is about 78cm wide (and 60cm deep). We would ideally like it to be 120cm wide so that it can fit a small desk. This would require modifying the built in wardrobe by moving the right wall of the built in about 42cm. To make the site suitable for a desk we'd also seek to move the power point (circled in red) to the rear wall and the floor (under the current mirror location). This would obviously need to be performed by an electrician. Given the wardrobe would be smaller, we assume new doors would be required and we'd request mirror doors. Would you be able to give us a quote for the work? Including new doors, paint, floor installation and electrical. We have spare floorboards ready. Other materials would need to be provided. Open to advice and splitting the job (ie electrician and paint for someone else), but it is not our preference.

Looking for a qualified electrician to install a new power point in kitchen splash back (see first picture for reference). I also need an existing power point fixed as it’s starting to come loose from the wall.

Mounting curtain brackets into brick/rendered wall (with anchors)

$70

Downer ACT 2602, Australia

1st Jun 2025

I've got brick/rendered walls. Need someone to mount four stirrup brackets (see picture) with wall anchors, high up close to the ceiling. I have the brackets, screws and anchors.

Fantastic service and communication. Bibek not only drilled holes in my difficult rendered brick walls; he also helped work out how to achieve the task of hanging shower curtain rods over my very oddly shaped shower-bath. The result: I finally have shower curtains! Thanks so much.

Install new power point below existing power point

Macarthur ACT 2904, Australia

28th May 2025

I am renovating my laundry and need to install an extra power point below an existing one (so that the washing machine can be plugged in below bench height). The wall is gyprock. The mess in the floor in the photo will be cleaned up and machine machine moved prior to attendance to allow clear and easy access.

Mount tv to apartment wall (plasterboard with studs)

$85

Kingston ACT, Australia

23rd Mar 2025

I would like someone to mount my tv onto my wall. 📺Tv size:50” 🗜️Mount: supplied ✅ tilt tv wall mount 32”-80”, 600mm x 400mm. 45kg rated. Screws for attaching mount to tv back included. 🧱Wall: plasterboard 🧰Tools: supplied ✅ you are welcome to bring and use your own, but if you need to you can use my DRILL , STUDFINDER, LEVELLER and drill BITS if you need to. 🔩Screws: Please supply the required screws/plugs. ❗️ 📏 ideal mounting height: 76cm from the floor Other information: ❓I have tried using magnets and a studfinder to find some studs but cannot seem to drill into a wooden batten. It is possible that they are thin metal ones which are apparently common with new apartment builds, but I am not an expert. I would like someone who has experience with these kind of walls/set ups, and can mount the tv securely. ⚠️I want to avoid only mounting into the plaster as the tv will sit on the same wall as the front door, so impact/vibrations from that opening and closing is a factor I want to consider. ⏱️ preferred time: as this is located in an apartment complex I will avoid drilling outside 7am and 7pm out of consideration for my neighbours. I look forward to viewing your offers. Thank you 🙂 ➕ I am also seeking someone to drill a 2 bike hooks into a concrete wall, if this is someone you can also do then flick me a message and we can work out a package deal. (As this is concrete you will need to bring your own hammer drill and tools)

Jamal was great, on time, had quality tools and did quality work.

Plasterer to patch wall/ roof

I pulled out a decorative archway in my house and am looking for a plasterer to patch up the roof, wall and replace the cornices. Either next week or from 9-12 April. Welcome quotes. I will do the painting myself so that’s not needed.

Great quality work that was completed very quickly with excellent communication from the outset. Highly recommend.

Handyman - minor plastering work

I'm moving out of my place in Gungahlin and need help with some handyman work. Around 5 small holes / dents in gyprock walls that need to be plastered (not painted). Biggest hole is around 10cm x 2cm and smaller ones are roughly coin sized.

Paint, re-render or otherwise seal some old eroded brick

$150

Kambah ACT, Australia

31st Dec 2024

House recently bought, part of the house is on a slope and as such has what I can only assume to be some water erosion of some of the render/underlying brick. Does it just need some paint? Maybe some mortar? Whole new render? Not pedantic, probably just need to stop water getting in. I am looking into getting some additional drainage put in separately.

Good dude, efficient, knows a lot about property maintenance.

Handy person to fix two power points and hang picture ledges

$50

Dickson ACT 2602, Australia

31st Dec 2024

I have two power points that have randomly become unstuck. One appears to have just come unstuck from the wall and with the waterproofing bit I can't work out how to put it back in, the switches all work it's just unattached as per the pic. The other one is attached but the button that activated the bathroom fan isn't working, it's like the fan just isn't attached to the button which you can see from the flat button. These are issues in two separate bathrooms for clarity. I also need someone to hang four picture ledges, two sets of two next to each other. Happy if you want to quote just for one of the tasks, I also know it's going to cost more but no idea what so happy for quotes.

I didn't realise I didn't have the screws for the task and Jamal had brought everything I needed. He also had the switch needed to fix my light on hand. Thanks Jamal!

Fix wall crack( plasterboard)

$100

Belconnen ACT, Australia

18th Dec 2024

I have a crack in my plasterboard wall as show in the attached image. Can someone fix it ?

Saima is an exceptional, he puts in a lot of effort to ensure the job is done perfectly, no matter how minor it may be. His dedication was evident as he came over three times to make sure everything was just right. A hardworking and reliable individual who truly goes above and beyond. Highly recommended!
