Install and securely anchor pull-out Murphy bed to solid brick wall.

£50

Repton Park, Greater London

6th Aug 2026

I need a pull-out (Murphy) bed fixed securely to a solid brick wall. I'd like someone experienced to drill and install the wall brackets properly and make sure the fixings are suitable for the load. The wall is solid brick and all assembly has been done except for the final wall mounting. I would like the installer to supply heavy-duty fixings if they think the current ones are inadequate. I want the bed tested after installation to make sure it is safe.

Mohammed did a great job securing a horizantal fold away bed to a wall. He made sure everything was secure and working properly and did not rush the job checking we were happy as the job proceeded.

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.
