Door Repair Issue - Front & Ensuite Pocket Door

£60

Bromley, Greater London

11th Aug 2026

Hello there, We’re looking for an experienced handyman or carpenter to repair two door issues in our flat: 1. Front Entrance Door – The front door is very difficult to open and close. It has something to do with the hooks. It requires quite a bit of force and pushing to get it open, so we’d like this inspected and repaired. 2. Ensuite Bathroom Pocket Door – The sliding pocket door has become difficult to operate and is currently being kept open temporarily as it can get stuck. We’d like it repaired so it slides smoothly again. Please include your quote/offer for the work and availability to carry out the repairs. Thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you.

Muhammad did a fantastic job fixing both the pocket door and the front door mechanism at our flat. He was very knowledgeable, skilled, and clearly experienced in this type of work. He quickly identified the issues and completed the repairs efficiently. Really happy with the quality of his work and would definitely recommend Muhammad for any door repairs!

A small job for an experienced carpenter/joiner to hang a new internal door. The door has already been planed to size and fits the opening, so won’t need any resizing or trimming.

Tools: * I have tools available, including a planer and chisels. * Ideally, you’ll bring your own professional tools. Parking: * I’ll cover the cost of parking. Looking for: * Someone with experience hanging internal doors. * Attention to detail – I’d like the door aligned properly with clean hinge recesses and a good finish. Please let me know your experience and, if possible, include photos of similar carpentry work you’ve completed.

Handyperson for various maintenance tasks

£120

Central Parade, Greater London

2nd Aug 2026

I've built up a backlog of small household jobs and would like them done in one go by someone reliable and tidy. Roughly a full day's work. Just as importantly, I'm hoping this becomes a longer-term arrangement. I'd rather find one person I can call whenever something needs doing than start from scratch each time, so trust matters a lot to me. If this first day goes well, there will be steady work. The list covers four areas: Decorating and repairs: touching up paintwork on the staircase woodwork, including wood filler where needed. Filling, sanding and repainting a stained patch of ceiling. Re-caulking two bathrooms. Mounting and hanging: living room curtains, several mirrors and artwork around the house. Walls are a mix, so the right fixings for plasterboard and masonry will be needed. Smart home and security: fitting smart cameras and bulbs, removing a redundant outdoor Yale alarm box and replacing it with a SimpliSafe bell box and plaque, plus opening an outdoor key safe. Odds and ends: swapping a burr in a coffee grinder, repotting houseplants. You'll need your own tools, including a drill, ladder and basic decorating kit. I'll supply all materials unless you'd rather source anything yourself. Good communication and turning up when you say you will matter as much to me as the quality of the work. Happy to walk through everything at the start and then leave you to it. Splitting it across two shorter visits is fine too. In your offer, please tell me roughly how long you think the list will take, whether there's anything on it you'd rather not take on, and whether ongoing work appeals. Photos of the staircase, ceiling patch and alarm box available on request.
