He was really professional. He came and did all cuttings inside his van and he cleaned every dust when leaving . He was very soft spoken and very handy with the instruments and he provided very good material. He did finishing and touch ups as well. I really really recommend him. Please go for him for all his carpentry work as well as paintings walls.

Top Shelf Hanging related questions
First, choose shelf support brackets and position their pre-drilled fastener holes over the brick (not the mortar in between bricks). Mark the positions of each hole, then drill. Insert masonry wall plugs into the holes and hammer them into place. Then, hold the bracket to the wall and attach the fasteners. Finally, lay the shelf onto the bracket. You can also skip the risky DIY shelf hanging job by finding a qualified Tasker on our platform.
For a custom piece that fits your home correctly, choose a cut of wood yourself. Then, get mounting brackets, a power drill, drill bit, stud finder, carpenter’s square, and spirit level. Choose a spot for the shelf, mark the holes and drill, install the brackets, then attach the wood. Sounds challenging? You can get a Tasker to help you out with shelf assembly, instead.
It’s easy: use a spirit level when you do your shelf hanging job. This nifty little tool makes sure your shelf won’t be tilted when you mount it. As long as you use the spirit level properly and mark the right positions on your wall, you can get your shelf to hang straight. If you need help putting up shelves in your home, you can book a Tasker for shelf hanging.
Putting a heavy shelf up on plasterboard is just like any other shelf mounting job, except that you’ll need a special kind of fixing. Professional tradespeople typically choose toggle bolts for projects like these, since they spread the weight of the shelf evenly throughout the wall. It’s also important to note that plasterboard walls are difficult to drill through due to their structure. For safety purposes, it’s best to work with a shelf hanging expert instead of doing this task yourself.
Wall Hanging and Mounting Services
What does a shelf installation include?
Common shelf installation services include building wardrobe and pantry shelves and hanging wall shelving. Your professional will ensure your shelf has the right fittings, angles, and is structurally sound. Popular shelf installation tasks include:
Install a floating shelf
A floating shelf is attached to a wall with no visible means of support, and are popular for their modern, minimalistic look. To begin installing your floating shelf, your handyman will assess the space and use a stud finder to mark the most secure spot for the brackets. They’ll use an electric drill to make a hole and secure the brackets, using a level to ensure everything lines up perfectly. Once the brackets are installed, they’ll measure the space between them and drill into the shelving to fit these exact measurements. Then they’ll slide the shelving into the brackets.
Install a hanging shelf
Your hanging shelf installer will make sure the best type of nail is used for your wall material and the best position to install your shelf. They will use a level if you’re installing more than one hanging shelf to ensure they’re mounted evenly. Your installer will advise how much weight the shelf will be able to bear and answer any questions you may have.
Install a wardrobe or pantry shelf
Your shelving installer will advise on the best kind of shelving to suit your space - fixed, adjustable, corner, floating, or pull out. They will then measure the space. If you’re hiring them to make the shelving too, they’ll let you know how long it will take them to build your custom shelving. Once the shelves are ready, they’ll use their tools to expertly screw your new shelves into place. If you opted for sliding or rotating shelves, they’ll ensure the shelves pull out smoothly.
Install a garage shelf
Getting your garage or workshop organised with shelving can help with storage and productivity. Your handyman will advise what type of shelving will best suit your space and align this with your weight-bearing requirements. With overhead shelving, your installer will attach the brackets to the ceiling where the joists are located - this is the strongest point in your ceiling.
Your handyman will properly measure the space for your overhead shelving and make sure it will not interfere with your garage door, lighting, and work area. They will then install your shelving, with the longest part going across the joists so that your new shelves will have the most support possible and not overburden the joists.

I need a shelf installed in a small hallway cupboard, above the existing coat hooks. The shelf is made from a piece of wood that has already been cut to size: 75 cm wide × 60 cm deep. I also have wooden beams/battens available, which could be cut to size to be used underneath the shelf, to attach brackets or provide additional support. Please note that the walls are not solid and appear to be either plasterboard or fibreboard. You will therefore need to assess the wall and use suitable fixings to ensure the shelf is securely supported. And to check that the shelf is level and safely attached before completing the job. A wall scan before drilling would be appreciated to avoid hidden pipes or cables. I have the shelf and wooden beams, but please bring any suitable brackets, wall fixings or screws required. I also have a wardrobe that needs repairing. The bottom drawer does not close properly, and I suspect the wardrobe may be slightly out of alignment. Please inspect the wardrobe and drawer, identify the cause and realign or adjust the wardrobe so that the drawer closes correctly. The back of the wardrobe also needs securing properly. Simply adding a few nails may not be sufficient, so I would like a thin strip of wood secured diagonally across the back to provide additional support. I have nails available, but I do not have the wood required for the diagonal support, so please bring a suitable piece of wood with you. Size of wardrobe is 89cm Wide x 182cm Height so the diagonal piece of wood would need to be approx 202cm long. Please include the cost of the wood in your offer, or let me know if any other materials are required.
Chris was punctual and professional. I'm happy with the work he did and the amount.
