Portable lamp isn't quite working - switches off sporadically and dimmable function isn't working. Lamp model for reference https://tala.co.uk/products/the-muse-2-0-portable-lamp-in-pleasure-garden-green?variant=56912608723317&currency=GBP&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc_shopping&utm_campaign=23344781259&utm_content=189229980479&product_id=shopify_GB_15802703446389_56912608723317&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23344781259&gbraid=0AAAAAC_RHFgtbuiCvf8YWpHDJsVUU45Jp&gclid=Cj0KCQjwhsrUBhDxARIsAN3AQScuGSZUrU0MG-eVnzV7KMhdJSlZeR7uKvpUGNxMVhnxtEH0R9RgZvEaAjJ-EALw_wcB

Curtain pole repair/refitting

£85

Brentwood, Essex, CM15

28th Aug 2026

Curtain pole has fallen down and needs to be securely refitted. As shown in the photos, adhesive/glue was previously used around the fitting. The wall is plasterboard and seems difficult to secure with screws alone. It may require additional adhesive, suitable heavy-duty fixings, and potentially a new wooden mounting piece due to the old adhesive residue. One air tasker already attempted the repair but wasn’t able to find a secure solution, so I’m looking for someone experienced with plasterboard walls/new-build properties who can properly and safely secure the pole, as the curtains are quite heavy. The task should probably take maximum 1hour

Handyman needed Wednesday 3 June in Goodmayes, RM6 4DE

£120

Hainault, Greater London

29th May 2026

I am the landlord of a house in Goodmayes, RM6 4DE, and I am looking for a handyman to fix 4 simple issues. Please see photos attached. The work required is as follows: 1. Light socket/bulb holder - The bulb holder on the first-floor corridor is faulty and no longer holds a bulb. Please replace it with a new holder and fit a new bulb. 2. Window handle - The window handle is broken. Please see the attached photo. The window is currently not closing properly and needs to be fixed. 3. Toilet seat - The toilet seat is brand new, but the tenants do not know how to install it. Please fit it securely for them. 4. Doorbell - The doorbell outside the house is no longer ringing. It may only need a new battery. If so, please buy and replace the battery. If the bell itself is faulty, please buy a basic replacement doorbell from the local shop, and fit it. ... Please note that the task involves you buying any necessary parts yourself from the local shop, with your own money, as I am currently out of the country and cannot do this myself. The cost of the parts should be included in your offer. I need someone on Wednesday 3 June at 4pm as my tenants will be home during that time.
