Odd Job man wanted in Tenerife

super_mum46 · 13th January 2008, 20:29

I need an odd job man to take down three curtain rails in my apartment and replace them with three new ones. I need to buy these yet and intend to do that on a flying visit in a fortnight. Probably wouldnt need the odd job man til March when out for two weeks.

Anyone know of someone reliable that they can recommend? Sick of unreliable, rip off merchants!!

Many thanks.

You say rip off merchants OP......To say this you obviously know how much you would like to pay...could you inform us of this amount....

Maybe someone will oblige but also may be put off with your questioning

I have absolutely no idea how much I want to pay - it will depend on several eventualities I would have thought - ie how difficult it is to take down old ones, how easy to put up new ones and how long it all takes - so no I cant give you a figure.

And when I say "rip off merchants" I mean those people who profess to be able to do a job and then totally mess up - charging you a ludicrous amount for so doing - as in the case of the man who said he could do a new bathroom in my apartment - then lost the keys to the apartment and had to break in! - dropped an angle grinder whilst it was going on my bedroom floor and damaged several tiles! - didnt cover anything with dust covers so most of the contents of the apartment had to be cleaned afterwards! - would you like me to go on?!!!

don't mean to sound funny here but your talking about curtain rails but you need a handy man to do it for you can't you do it your self it is only a couple of screws.

Yes I do need help! It might just be a couple of screws to you but to me it is the difference between a nightmare and a stress free changeover.
