Turn a heavy mattress over and reinstate 2 wardrobe sliding doors.

£100

Broad Green, Greater London

16th Sep 2026

Hi! We're looking for two strong, capable people to help with a quick manual handling job. The main task is flipping and turning a Super King mattress on its base. The mattress is a heavy-duty weighing 70 kgs. It's very rigid and heavy, so it absolutely requires a two-person lift. We'd also need you to refit two small/medium sliding doors of a wardrobe that have come off their tracks. Both jobs would probably take you no more than 30 minutes. I have back problems and unable to assist with any of the lifting, so you'll need to handle both the mattress turning and the door refitting entirely between the two of you. Please let me know if you may be available anytime tomorrow (Thursday 17.09.26) and how much would you charge for the jobs described for both workers. Thanking you in advance!

Very helpful, reliable, and fast. Will use Tom again.
