TV mounting, lamps or curtain rails?

The wrong wall plug in a hollow wall, a crooked rail or a TV that isn't quite straight: hanging things looks simple until it goes wrong. A handyman company charges €55 per hour or a fixed amount from €65. Cheaper: post your job and a handy neighbour or student from your area comes with a drill and spirit level.

What you can have mounted

Anything that needs a drill, the right wall plug and a spirit level. Feel free to combine: the helper is coming anyway.

Television

On the wall bracket you already have, level and with the cables neatly run along the wall.

Lamps

A pendant or ceiling lamp on a light point that is already there. Several lamps in one visit saves time.

Curtain rails and rods

Rails on the ceiling or a rod above the window, straight and strong enough for heavy curtains.

Mirrors and pictures

Large mirrors too, with the right wall plugs for your wall.

Shelves and wall cabinets

Floating shelves, a bookshelf or a small cabinet in the bathroom or kitchen.

Bikes and tools

A bike rack in the shed or a hanging system for garden tools.

A wardrobe to put together as well? Also see IKEA furniture assembly.

A handyman company, electrician or someone from your area?

Choose a handyman company or electrician if

a new light point or socket is needed, or a cable has to be moved
cables have to disappear into the wall: then a groove has to be cut
you want an invoice and a guarantee on the work
the work is high up, such as in a stairwell or a void

Ask someone from your area if

the bracket, rails or lamp are already there and so is the light point
you want several things hung in one go
it is about mirrors, shelves, pictures or a bike rack
you help yourself by holding and passing things

How to get something mounted

Post your job for free
Write what needs hanging, how big and heavy it is and what kind of wall you have. A photo of the wall and of the bracket or rails helps a helper estimate how much work it is.
Choose who you want
Handy neighbours and students from your area reply with a message. You can ask them something first and then choose who you trust.
Agree and pay each other
In the chat you agree the time and the price. After the job you pay the helper yourself, without commission.

Tips for a mounting job that goes right first time

Say what kind of wall you have
Knock on the wall: if it sounds hollow, it is plasterboard, wood or aerated concrete and needs different wall plugs than brick or concrete. Put it in your job.
Make sure everything is there
The TV bracket, rails of the right length, the lamp: buy them beforehand or agree who brings what. Then nobody has to go to the DIY store halfway through.
Bundle your jobs
A helper who is coming with a drill and ladder anyway can hang the mirror and the shelves too. That is cheaper than three separate appointments.
Mention the height
Curtain rails on a high ceiling or a lamp above the stairs: say so, then the helper brings steps or a ladder that is tall enough.
