Drill and install wall vent for portable aircon unit

£200

Bethnal Green, Greater London, E2

16th Aug 2025

Looking for someone to install a wall vent for a portable air conditioner. The external wall is brick, internal is plasterboard, approx. 30cm thick. I’ve already confirmed the hose size (6 inches) and have all the parts: PVC duct sleeve, external cowled grille, and internal flange. You’ll need to core drill through the wall, fit the sleeve, and install/seal the vent components inside and out. Access is on the first floor—a ladder should be sufficient. If you have experience with similar jobs (tumble dryer or extractor fan vents), even better. Let me know your availability and what tools you’d bring. Location is Derbyshire Street, Bethnal Green.

Install lock on bedroom door & fix cupboard door

£60

Blackwall, Greater London

2nd Jul 2025

I need a handy man for 2 small jobs today: 1. To install a new lock on a bedroom door. I’ve tried myself however I can’t seem to get the lock and door handle to line up enough for the spindle to fit through (out by only a couple of millimetres). It may need additional carving in the slot on the side of the door to help it line up properly. The old lock has already been removed and I’ve bought the new one (see picture). 2. The sliding doors for one of the cupboards has come off its rail slightly (see picture) and is difficult to slide open and close as a result. If you could have a look and try to fix the doors back onto the rails so they move smoothly.

Excellent service, would definitely recommend!
