Replacing the hinges on my kitchen cabinets and repainting the doors

£500

Manor House, Greater London, N4

14th Feb 2026

I'm replacing the hinges, I have done some of them. Some of them are a little fiddly as the person who installed them originally put wall plugs in some of the holes. The new hinges are compatible with the existing system, though. I want the cabinet doors repainted, and the handles replaced. The previous handles required 2 holes, whereas the new ones only need one. I've used wood filler to fill one of the holes and sanded it down so they're ready to prime/ paint. Some of the doors have been primed, I'll aim to get as many done as I can so that's not a blocker, although I'm running low on specific primer I'm using. I'm not sure if any primer would be fine. I've lightly sanded the doors before priming, but it may need to be redone (if that's the case the price will obviously go up). I also want to install a 'lip' around the bottom edge of some of the cabinets. I've pre-cut the MDF to the exact size, and partially primed the MDF. This is for hiding LED lighting that I'm going to install myself.

Collect / remove a glass display cabinet

£50

Whitton, Greater London

24th Nov 2025

I need a glass display cabinet removed from my home. It is in excellent condition, fully intact, with zero damage. It has lockable doors and comes with two keys. This cabinet is definitely worth money to someone who resells furniture, but I don’t have the time to list it on eBay, and local charities are fully booked for collections for the next few weeks. I need the space, which is the only reason I’m hiring someone to take it away. Please note: • Budget is capped at £50. • I will not negotiate on this. • The cabinet is yours to keep or resell once removed.

Carpenter / Joiner to Make Display Cabinet on Castor Wheels

£250

Castelnau, Greater London

20th Oct 2025

We are looking for an indoor standalone display cabinet made from MDF/pine like in the attached two diagrams. This will be propped up against the office window on the inside. On top will rest a model for display. Underneath, the compartments will be displaying 3x 3D printers (hence the large dimensions). This cabinet should be on 6x heavy duty castor wheels so can be moved around (e.g. to allow for easy vacuum-cleaning underneath). Colour of the cabinet should be white. Looking for a carpenter/joiner who can make this quickly and at a good price. This is for a new property business on a tight budget, so please don't quote silly money - but rather with the expectation that, if successful, this will be the first of many orders.

Liam is a top-class professional. He picked up the task late in the evening, clearly understood the requirements, and delivered a beautifully constructed cabinet within a few days - exactly as promised, on budget, and all with a smile! Fantastic communication throughout. A perfect first experience on Airtasker. Couldn’t recommend Liam more highly, and look forward to working with him again many more times!

Cut out the skirting boards behind the wardrobe, to get a tigher fit to the wall (leaving the skirting board underneath the desk) - Picture 1. 2. Cut out a hole in the back of the left-side unit, to provide access to the plug in the wall. 3. Fix the wardrobe units to the wall 4. Add fitting (provided - picture 3) around the edge of the wardrobe, for a clean, fitted finish. 5. Fit the bridging unit between the two wardrobe units at the top, fixing it to the wall and to the wardrobes - picture 1. Note: the bridging unit is heavy, so this is likely to be a two person job. I am happy to help with the lifting / holding. 6. Add the doors to the bridging unit. 7. Generally ensure a clean and tidy finish. Tools required: circular saw, sander Instructions are provided with the wardrobe, although were of limited use in building the wardrobe, so some improvisation may be needed.
