Install Heritage Wooden House Name Plaque on Brickwork

$88

Kensington NSW 2033, Australia

23rd Aug 2026

Looking for an experienced Tasker with the proper tools to install a wooden house name plaque onto the exterior brick facade of our 1917 Californian Bungalow. Placement Location: The plaque needs to be mounted on the red brick section directly underneath the left lantern next to the main window (positioned on the right side of the entrance, as shown in the attached mockup photo). Important Requirements: Must have masonry drilling experience: You will need to drill directly through brick. (We previously tried with a standard wood drill and it bent, so a proper hammer drill and masonry bits are strictly required). Tools & Fixings: Please bring your own hammer drill, correct masonry bits, wall plugs, and screws suitable for brickwork to ensure a secure and level installation. Photos: Please refer to the attached photos for the exact house, the plaque itself, and the final mockup image showing the precise location where it should be mounted.

Rob helped us installing heritage name plate to our brickwork. He’s punctual and efficient in his work. Job well done. Thanks Rob
