Treat and Seal Water Stains on Ceiling/Wall (Prep for Painting)

£80

North Cheam, Greater London

10th Jan 2026

I have three small areas with water stains (residue from a leak that is now fully fixed and dry) in a spare room. I am turning this room into a studio and need the stains professionally treated so they don't bleed through my new paint. Task involves: Cleaning the residue/tide marks. Sanding back any flaking paint or rough plaster. Applying a professional-grade stain-blocking primer (e.g., Zinsser B-I-N or equivalent). Ensuring the surface is smooth and ready for me to apply the topcoat of emulsion myself. Please bring your own ladder and stain-blocking materials. I will handle the final painting once you are finished.

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.

I would like to request a quotation for a small joinery job in my kitchen in NW2, London. I have a tall cabinet where the fridge is built in, and I’m replacing the fridge with a new one that is 20 cm taller. I would like to keep the overall kitchen height exactly the same, but shorten the cabinet above the fridge by 20 cm so that the new fridge fits properly. The job would include: • Removing the top cabinet door and cutting down the cabinet height by 20 cm; • Adjusting the internal shelf and back panel accordingly; • Cutting and refitting the same cabinet door to match the new height; • Refinishing the cut edges to match the existing wood veneer. Please could you send me a quotation (including labour and materials) and let me know your earliest availability for a site visit? Thank you very much, Raquel

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!

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.
