William is very punctual, polite and easy to talk. It was clearly a two people job what he did alone, that’s why it took a little longer than expected by justified. I highly recommend him.

Couple bits hung up, some Sanding general home maintenance task
£100

Curtain pole repair/refitting
£80
Brentwood, Essex, CM15
31st 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
