Have them work on installing curtain rods and blinds, fitting the kitchen sink, setting up pet doors, and even wallpapering. If a home security system is what you need installed, you can book a separate service to make this happen.

Electric bike maintenance

$100

Brighton VIC, Australia

16th Dec 2025

My son has an e-bike that is relatively new. It has started making a noise when riding where it seems like something is rubbing on the back wheel. I’d rather just get it fixed locally than going back under warranty. It still rides fine, it’s just the noise that suggests something is rubbing.
