Recent Tradesman reviews in Canberra Central

In the end I was happy, but this was a complex task and needed a significant amount of oversight from me. Jayson was great, prompt, communicative and knowledgeable about a variety of things. He arrived at my place with a labourer, someone that he hadn’t worked with before. Unfortunately, the labourer made a number of errors, resulting in the need to modify the design and purchase additional materials. This person also was a little careless onsite and caused some other damage to my property. Jayson was apologetic and worked hard to find a resolution to the issues and ‘make good’ on the quoted job. I have to commend his tenacity and persistence. I recommended that Jayson not bring that labourer onto another job. Jayson agreed. In the end, I have a verandah and I’m pretty happy with the result. It needs a few ‘extra’ holes filled because some timber’s were originally positioned incorrectly. To Jayson’s credit, he hadn’t built a bullnose verandah before and they’re a bit more complex.

Dismantle infrared sauna at Lyneham address (1-2 people required)

$200

Lyneham ACT 2602, Australia

20th Jun 2026

Looking for 2 practical handypeople to disassemble a 3-person iHealth Premium Infrared Sauna in the backyard of a residential property in Lyneham and stack the dismantled timber panels and components in the garage. The task shouldn't take more than 1-2 hours. This link displays a photo of how the assembled sauna looks: https://foundspace.com.au/product/foundspace-3-person-premium-infrared-sauna/?srsltid=AfmBOop_8OzB8Y8hQ34gTUMBj4WmL-EbEAL0ASxCD1EYojjLE2J-XpNe The job must be completed by or before 12pm Saturday, 27 June. No prior experience with saunas is required, but you must be handy and bring your own tools (cordless drill, screwdrivers, and ideally a soft plastic/rubber mallet). Please note: The largest timber wall panels weigh roughly 30kg to 40kg each, so two people are recommended for the lifting phase to avoid scratching the wood. Key Tasks: - Unplug and safely organise the internal roof wiring (all cables are clearly labelled). - Unscrew and remove the internal accessories, bench seat, and roof panel. - Carefully unclip and lift the interlocking timber wall panels apart. - Stack the dismantled timber panels and components safely and neatly in the garage. Instructions: - I can provide a step-by-step disassembly guide developed using AI to reverse-engineer the process described in this video on how to assemble the sauna: https://youtu.be/rJ7B5swUsU0?si=defqLIzQIpu6QyOp. - It might help to skim through the video to get a visual understanding of the components and how they fit together. Note: Packing, wrapping, and transport are being handled by a separate removalist company who will pick up the sauna after 12pm on Saturday, 27 June. This request is for disassembly and move individual parts to the garage only.

Damien was extremely punctual and highly efficient. He arrived on time and completed the job to a high standard in half the expected time. Highly recommended.
