Handyman jobs around the home

Small repairs and odd jobs add up. Taskers can patch, hang, fix and adjust the things a licensed trade is not needed for.

Explain the job clearly with photos so taskers can bid. Work that legally needs a licensed electrician or plumber should go to a licensed trade.

Typical jobs

• Hanging mirrors, art and shelves
• Patching small plasterboard holes
• Fixing sticking doors and cabinet hinges
• Installing curtain rods and blinds
• Replacing door handles
• Assembling and mounting TV brackets
• Silicone resealing around a bath
• Fence paling repairs

Tips

• Attach photos of each item.
• List all small jobs in one post.
• Say what materials you already have.

Agree on materials, whether the tasker can buy them with an advance, and keep electrical and plumbing work that requires a licence with a licensed tradesperson.
