Remove small stains from garden tiles and SEAL tiles

£80

Woodford Green, Greater London, IG8

16th Aug 2026

I posted a similar job recently and we had someone come in who we have used previously to remove all garden tile stains but unfortunately they were unable to seal the tiles. So I am posting again. We need some further small stains to be removed (it will not take long as most of them have already been removed) and most importantly, we need our tiles to be sealed with an excellent garden tile sealer to prevent further future stains and to protect our porcelain tiles. You must be professional in having this kind of experience and I will be looking at reviews. thank you!

Repair, stain-block and repaint bedroom ceiling after historic leak

£200

Upper Walthamstow, Greater London

13th Jul 2026

I need an experienced decorator to repair and repaint the ceiling in my son's bedroom. The ceiling has an old water stain from a leak that was repaired several years ago. The area is completely dry and the stain has not changed for years. The ceiling was previously repainted, but I don't believe a stain-blocking primer was used, so the stain has bled back through. The job will involve: Preparing the damaged area (scraping/sanding any loose paint if required). Treating any surface mould if necessary. Applying a suitable stain-blocking primer/sealer. Filling/sanding any minor imperfections if needed. Repainting the entire ceiling with two coats of white ceiling paint. Please provide all materials, including stain-blocking primer, ceiling paint and any fillers required. Please only quote if you have experience repairing water-stained ceilings. Photos of the ceiling are attached.

Prep and stain/varnish wooden climbing frame

£100

East Barnet, Greater London

29th 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!
