Fix internal door that won’t close properly (alignment + latch issue)

$110

Paddington NSW, Australia

28th Mar 2026

We have an internal door that no longer closes properly — likely due to slight movement in the house and/or a latch issue. From what I can tell: - The door seems slightly misaligned in the frame (may need planing/sanding or hinge adjustment) - The latch/strike plate may not be lining up properly - The handle itself might also need attention (happy to replace internal mechanism if required, but would like to keep the existing handles) Looking for someone who can: - Adjust hinges and/or sand the door if needed - Realign latch/strike plate - Replace internal latch mechanism if faulty (I can cover cost of parts if needed) NOTE: This functional fix only - it doesn’t need to be a perfect cosmetic finish. If any sanding is required, that’s completely fine and doesn’t need repainting or detailed finishing. We’ll be renovating in the future, so priority is just getting the door to close properly. Location: Paddington Date: Must be done before end of Wed 1 April (or as soon as possibles

Matt was so great! Punctual and very knowledgeable. Would recommend without hesitation.

$500

Paddington NSW, Australia

25th Mar 2026

I’m looking for an experienced professional to install a secure rigging point in my garage ceiling for an aerial hoop (lyra). The ceiling is solid concrete, so this will require proper drilling and installation of heavy-duty anchor points suitable for dynamic load (not just decorative use). I’m after someone who has experience with: • Installing ceiling anchors / rigging points • Working with concrete ceilings • Understanding weight load and safety requirements for aerial equipment What I need: • Installation of a strong, safe ceiling anchor (e.g. eye bolt or rigging plate) • Advice on the best hardware if I don’t already have the correct equipment • Ensuring it is safely installed and weight-rated for aerial use This will be used for aerial hoop, so safety is very important. Please only apply if you have relevant experience with rigging, structural installs, or similar work.

Nick was incredible to work with & so easy going! The whole task was done very fast & with no dramas . He absolutely went above and beyond. I’m so happy with the task. I feel very safe with the final result as well as I was quite nervous knowing that it’s a rigging point that I’ll be practising from for circus work as an Aerial Lyra and silks performer. Very happy! He Got the job done fast , safely and and correctly nick is the guy to see!

Fix sticking front door

$200

7th Mar 2026

Our front door is getting harder and harder to close and I need someone to fix it. It is rubbing above door lock (see photos), and seems to be slightly off kilter. I'm not sure of the best solution, but I guess it could be fixed by sanding the door or frame, or hanging. See attached photos.
