Two things we need plastered - one is a spot where we had a curtain rail attached and the curtain got pulled from the wall. 2nd is a 40m x 40ccm vent that's no longer in use in our hallway. If you can do the painting as well (paint supplied) let me know.

Plastered over a ceiling vent and a couple of small holes. Arrived on time, did a great job.

Our experienced awning installer needs help for half a day as his colleague is on leave. May lead to other work in future. It MUST be this Tuesday 16/9 morning start 930am. You will need to. - Help unpack a van with small awnings and blinds. - Hold ladders for the fitter to be up high. - Be on a small 3-5 step ladder to help him hold up the other end of the awnings. - Help clean up afterwards. Experience with Awning/Blind installation or being a handyman would be preferred, but not essential. We can provide tools if this is needed.

Replace power point covers

$250

Kingston ACT 2604, Australia

14th Jul 2025

Updated 21/07. Please update quote! Replace 11 old PowerPoints. Some will require just a new cover, others are mounted in brick walls and do not have a cover - new cover will need to be wired in existing hole. Tasker must have electrician certification. I will confirm how many need new covers vs wiring. At this stage, looking like 5 wiring into brick, 6 replacement covers on plasterboard. Please quote taking into account the split between rewiring and just a cover swap. I will provide the configuration of covers needed with the tasker i.e. double/single plug, light switches only etc.

Mounting curtain brackets into brick/rendered wall (with anchors)

$70

1st Jun 2025

I've got brick/rendered walls. Need someone to mount four stirrup brackets (see picture) with wall anchors, high up close to the ceiling. I have the brackets, screws and anchors.

Fantastic service and communication. Bibek not only drilled holes in my difficult rendered brick walls; he also helped work out how to achieve the task of hanging shower curtain rods over my very oddly shaped shower-bath. The result: I finally have shower curtains! Thanks so much.

Mount tv to apartment wall (plasterboard with studs)

$85

Kingston ACT, Australia

23rd Mar 2025

I would like someone to mount my tv onto my wall. 📺Tv size:50” 🗜️Mount: supplied ✅ tilt tv wall mount 32”-80”, 600mm x 400mm. 45kg rated. Screws for attaching mount to tv back included. 🧱Wall: plasterboard 🧰Tools: supplied ✅ you are welcome to bring and use your own, but if you need to you can use my DRILL , STUDFINDER, LEVELLER and drill BITS if you need to. 🔩Screws: Please supply the required screws/plugs. ❗️ 📏 ideal mounting height: 76cm from the floor Other information: ❓I have tried using magnets and a studfinder to find some studs but cannot seem to drill into a wooden batten. It is possible that they are thin metal ones which are apparently common with new apartment builds, but I am not an expert. I would like someone who has experience with these kind of walls/set ups, and can mount the tv securely. ⚠️I want to avoid only mounting into the plaster as the tv will sit on the same wall as the front door, so impact/vibrations from that opening and closing is a factor I want to consider. ⏱️ preferred time: as this is located in an apartment complex I will avoid drilling outside 7am and 7pm out of consideration for my neighbours. I look forward to viewing your offers. Thank you 🙂 ➕ I am also seeking someone to drill a 2 bike hooks into a concrete wall, if this is someone you can also do then flick me a message and we can work out a package deal. (As this is concrete you will need to bring your own hammer drill and tools)

Jamal was great, on time, had quality tools and did quality work.
