Local fair & decent-priced Handyman wanted for numerous projects over time

Recommended Posts

I am looking for recommendations for someone to initially put together 2 items of Ikea smaller items of furniture (craft/worktop space plus a desk- sometime in February) also to later fix a large tv mounting to wall plus a tv, and also put together a leather reclining/massage chair with stool (Feb/March - TBA). I also would like put together a double colonial style wood bed base and headboard - sometime in February). I might also need other small DIY tasks undertaken in the future but spaced out - March onwards (convenient for both my wallet & your time!) Not all jobs mentioned maybe needed nor guaranteed wanted but just putting out feelers.

Also, I would like a small pane of glass fitted in/above a metal door-frame within a council flat (some glass shards remaining in-situ). It is approximately 29W x 24D and has been broken for 25+ years.  Can you give me a quote so I can figure out whether I can afford to get it done or just live with it?

NO self-recommendations please (unless you have recent, good, verifiable feedback on this forum or elsewhere) and I will check-out and scrutinise every person recommended as I am not rich but I do need/would like some things doing and will happily pay a fair price for good, decent, honest work. I cannot afford to get all done at once as I am an NHS healthcare assistant with a limited income and a budget I need to stick to but, once I find that "special someone" I would request their services again AND also, recommend to others.

I live on the SE23/SE26 border -  just down the hill from SE22 (SE23 3YW to be precise).

Thank you for reading.

Regards

Sue

Still looking for recommendations for a good, fair-priced and honest local handyman. Only responses I have had are PM's from people putting themselves forward but none are names I have seen before/often, mentioned in this forum so, I am wary. I find it disappointing that there is no-one who regularly uses this forum who can recommend a handyman?

I have a few jobs needing doing, over time and details are in the first post.

Thank you for reading.

Sue

    • Hi all, Would appreciate any help in locating this package that was misdelivered on the morning of 27th December - potentially near my flat, halfway up Lordship Lane, near GBK/Jumping Bean. I've alerted Royal Mail, and the senders - but wondering if anyone recognises the flat doors, or doormats in the picture? Many thanks, and Happy New Year!
    • Firstly in response to @Del in ED there was an email that got sent to me with plans attached of the preposed layout and they asked for opinions/feedback-I gave mine and my concerns..I dont know how many others recieved or responded to the email, from what I see the decision had been made regardless of feedback. @the_hermit In response to your comments there are very few lowish weight free weights and the weighted bolster like bags that I used to lift at 5 kgs now consist of 3 X 15kgs and 3X 25kgs nothing lighter than 15kgs. as regards walking I walk 6miles + every day at work and walking outside of work is a form of relaxation for me. Speaking purely for myself but I'm probably not alone in this I have issues with running due to past ankle injuries and I do gather from my orrthopaedic (sp?) guy at the hospital that running on a treadmil is actually better as regards posible impact injuries than running on tarmac. Not all classes are at convenient times (I dont get home from work until gone 7pm not everyone works locally or from home) and besides..I find when I do try and book a class they almost always have a waitlist with places only becoming available a few hours before..not enough time for me to go home get my kit and get to the gym after work.. again I'm probably not alone in not being able to just 'book into a class'. Finally I'm in my early 60's and have been a regular gym goer for over 25years...Dulwich leisure centre has served my needs and those of many others who like myself have had to undergo major surgery and injuries for at yeast 10of those years by having enough weight machines and cardio machines to build back strength with less risk of causing further damage. Now it feels much more like theres a bias towards heavier weights and boxing -a lot more 'macho' and less inclusive. I used to see a lot of older less fit members than myself there- I don't feel that the needs of those members of the local community have been taken into account with the new layout and the scrapping of various machines. Not to mention the new equipment feels very cheaply constructed and the 'chin and dip' machine had already snapped and broken when I visited just a few days into opening.
    • Hi - I am a 16 year old living in East Dulwich keen to help local families with babysitting and cat sitting services. I have good references from family friends I have worked for in the past but am available for more work now. I am great with children and very responsible. I am happy to spend time with your cats when I go into feed them as I love cats and have two of my own. Please do message me and I can provide you with recommendations and come and meet you first if you would like to. Please get in touch on this site or on my phone 07555 929910
    • If anyone has a large suitcase lying around, I'd love to take it off your hands! 🙂  I am moving home to Australia and am struggling to part with my winter coats.
