Investigate Ceiling Crack – Roof Cavity Inspection

$210

Ridgehaven SA 5097, Australia

2nd Oct 2026

Hi, I’m looking for an experienced roofer, roof leak specialist, building maintenance professional or suitably experienced handyman to investigate a small area of cracking on our ceiling and determine whether there is an underlying roof leak or moisture issue. The issue appeared following the wet winter. There is currently no water actively coming through the ceiling, but there is some cracking that I’d like properly investigated before repairing. Background: * We purchased the house approximately 2 years ago. * The roof tiles appear to have been recently re-done/coated before we purchased it. * There are no obvious broken or missing tiles. * We have had people inspect/access the roof, but the roof cavity/ceiling space has not yet been inspected. * We had roller shutters installed in September last year, involving electrical work. The electrician accessed the roof cavity, so I’d like this considered as a possible factor. * The ceiling is currently dry with no active water ingress. I’m not suggesting the roller-shutter installation caused the issue, but I’d like the cavity checked for any potential disturbance, penetrations or other possible entry points. What I need: * Inspect the affected ceiling and roof cavity. * Check the corresponding roof area for potential water entry points. * Look for signs of current or previous moisture. * Use a moisture meter if available. * Identify the likely cause/source, if possible. * Advise what repairs or further investigation may be required. * Provide an approximate cost to repair the small ceiling section once the cause is established. I’m not looking for someone to simply patch the crack — I want the potential cause investigated first. Budget: $100 for the initial inspection/diagnosis. Any repair work can be quoted separately once the cause is identified. Please only offer if you have relevant experience with roof leaks, moisture investigation, roof cavities or ceiling repairs.

Fix Lockmaster Automatic Double Gates–Open back up right after closing

$100

Toorak Gardens SA 5065, Australia

28th Sep 2026

Disclosure- AI helped me write this. Looking for an experienced gate installer, handy electrician, or handy person to fix my LockMaster Double Swing Automatic Driveway Gates. The gates are about 3 years old and have worked great until a few weeks ago. The Problem:When I use the remote, the gates close all the way to the center, but the moment they touch, they immediately change direction and open all the way back up on their own.What I have tried already:I unlocked them with the key and pushed them by hand—they swing completely smoothly and do not scratch or scrape the ground at all.I tried messing with the limit screws and force dials on the control box, but it didn't help.The strange clue: If I physically flip the long black arm mechanisms upside down, the gates close properly! But when I put them back the correct way up, the issue returns.It seems like a wiring mix-up, a setting glitch making the motor run backward, or a broken switch inside one of the gate arms. Please bring a basic toolkit and a multimeter to test the power. Please Let me know your experience fixing automatic gates when you make an offer! Thanks

Thanks Jamie. Very experienced and efficient. Much appreciated.

Looking for someone to give this gate a single coat of paint. I was planning to do it but have run out of time. It doesn’t need to be a perfect job, just enough to improve the look. No prep required. The job doesn’t require a experienced painter - in fact, it might be a waste of time for them! I did a similar size gate today and it took me about 90 mins. I will provide paintbrushes and paint. Just need to turn up and get it done. Note the location will probably be in the sun for most of the day tomorrow 😬 I’m afraid it does need to be done tomorrow (Thursday)

Excellent work, incredibly flexible given we were very disorganised. Highly recommend!
