Prep and stain/varnish wooden climbing frame

£75

Oakleigh Park, Greater London

25th Jun 2026

Local handyman needed to prep and stain/varnish wooden climbing frame – North London. It’s a Backyard Discovery Lakewood wooden swing set / climbing frame which was assembled a few months ago. It now needs to be properly treated with a cedar-coloured outdoor wood stain / protector (I have the protector already). The job will need to be done over 2–3 weekday visits to allow for prep, drying time and coats, and will need to be scheduled during a run of dry weather. Visit 1 – Prep: Wash down / clean the frame with warm soapy water and a stiff brush; Rinse and allow to dry; Light sanding in key areas (handholds, ladder areas, corners etc.); Wipe away dust; Cover / protect slide and swings before staining. Visit 2 – First coat: Apply first coat of cedar wood stain / protector evenly across the frame. Visit 3 – Second coat / finishing: Apply second coat if needed / final coat for protection. Important notes: - It needs to be done during the week if possible so we can work around our son using it. - Ideally someone local who can be flexible around the weather and come back for short follow-up visits. - I have brushes and the wood stain/ protector, but please bring your own sanding materials / dust sheets / prep materials. Timing: Flexible, but ideally on weekday mornings / daytime during a spell of dry weather over the next couple of weeks. Budget: £75–£100 total..Likely only around 1–2 hours per visit over 2–3 visits

Repair and repaint a vertical historic water stain on bedroom wall

£100

South Lambeth, Greater London, SW8

17th Jun 2026

Hi, I have a long, vertical water stain on my bedroom wall caused by a previous, historic leak from months ago (the leak has been fully resolved and the wall is completely dry now). There is NO mould, but there is some water staining/discolouration and slight paint peeling near the window frame. The job requires: 1: Properly scraping and sanding down all the peeling/flaking paint to ensure a perfectly smooth surface before priming. 2: Applying a stain block primer (e.g., Zinsser B-I-N or similar) to ensure the stain doesn't bleed through. 3: Repainting it with white emulsion paint. Please note that the final paint colour must be an exact match to the original wall colour (no patchy or mismatched whites). 4: The bedroom is fully carpeted, so you must bring proper dust sheets/protection and ensure no paint or debris stains the carpet. The work area must be left completely clean. Photos attached. Looking for someone to finish this as soon as possible. Thanks!
