Replace fly screen (sliding door)
$100
Braddon ACT 2612, Australia
1st Apr 2026
Hi! I’m looking for someone experienced with fly screen replacement to repair/replace one fly screen in a rental property: • 1 x sliding door fly screen The mesh has small holes caused by a cat, so the frames are intact — it’s just the mesh that needs replacing or whatever is easiest to replace. This is a rental, so the work needs to be neat, secure, and professional, suitable for a final inspection. Please bring all tools and materials (happy to discuss mesh type if needed). My housemate will be staying, so am flexible with timing. Let me know availability. Please include: • Your experience with fly screens • Whether the quote includes materials Thanks! 😊

Repair or replace the door stopper
$150
Canberra ACT, Australia
27th Mar 2026
Hello, We are from Oscar Wylee. The magnetic door stopper installed in the Optometry Room is not functioning as intended. The magnet is failing to hold the door in place, causing the door to swing shut unexpectedly during use. This issue is creating ongoing disruptions during clinical operations. The door frequently closes while staff are working with patients or equipment, which interrupts workflow and can pose a safety concern. It also makes it difficult to maintain an open-door environment when required for patient flow, communication, or supervision. We need to rectify the issue soon.

It’s the thing that’s in your bathroom and it’s hanging down and maybe it can just be pushed back up but I don’t have a letter. I don’t really know. Be nice but do not fall down. I also am worried about the fans in the bathroom being full of dust, but that’s a whole issue and also concerned about my whole Aircon and fans needing a full clean out.

$350
Griffith ACT, Australia
11th May 2025
I have an irrigation system that runs off two taps. One in the front yard and one in the backyard. The system in backyard has six stations running from an old upright garden tap. The line splits into six lines and solenoids. The manifold line is split and needs replacing. I would like to take the opportunity to reconfigure the inlet, removing the tap and creating a better manifold connection. It is currently very difficult to conduct maintenance like solenoid replacement, etc. The system runs off an automatic wi-fi timer that works very well.
Terrific tradesman.
