Install security cameras, gate lock, smoke alarms, plus tip run.

$500

Smithfield QLD 4878, Australia

29th Oct 2026

As above. Images attached of the things I have to install. The gate lock might need someone with a bit of common sense (it's defeated me!). Some of the smoke alarms and security cameras might need to be placed quite high - it's a double story house - will obviously need a ladder (I do have one of those multi-fold ones). Another job I'd really like done is to remove 2 box a/c's (and patch one wall for painting, replace the sliding window for the other). Price would be for the whole job, assuming minimum 5hrs work please
