Moving out and need a proper end-of-tenancy clean: oven, bathroom, kitchen cupboards, skirting, inside windows etc. It’s a 1-bed flat, no carpets (all laminate/tile). If you do receipts/invoice for the agent, even better.

Need help moving a small office setup from one unit to another (both ground floor, about 10 minutes apart). 6 flat-pack style desks, 6 chairs, a small fridge, and maybe 25 boxes of files/stationery. Ideally 2 people with a van, weekday after 5pm or Saturday morning.

One of the slabs by the back step has cracked and now wobbles when you stand on it (great way to spill tea). It’s a single 600x600 slab, sand/cement base underneath, and the rest are fine. Happy to buy the slab if you tell me exactly what to get.

After someone to walk our cockapoo (3 years old, friendly but pulls a bit at first) for 2 weeks while I’m on crutches. Lunchtime-ish, 30–45 mins, weekdays only. He’s fine with other dogs but gets a bit too excited if there are squirrels involved.

It’s June and the bedroom is already like a sauna, so I want a ceiling fan with light fitted where the current pendant is. Fan is bought already (standard UK ceiling fan, nothing fancy) and the ceiling is plasterboard. Need it wired safely and the old fitting taken down.

Looking to get a small box room (about 2.5m x 2.2m) and a hallway/stairs painted in a fresh white. I’ve filled and sanded the worst bits, just need someone who can cut in properly without it looking like a seagull’s been at it. Paint can be supplied if you’ve got a preferred brand (Dulux/Johnstone’s).

Every time it rains there’s a little waterfall right by the front bay window. Think it’s a joint on the gutter that’s come loose (it’s plastic, about 10 years old). Ladder access is straightforward and I can be around most evenings after 6.

My mum’s Windows laptop has gone super slow and keeps opening random tab adverts even when she’s just on email. We think she clicked something dodgy, so it needs a proper clean-up (virus/malware) and a general tidy so it starts up quicker. Happy for you to do it at ours or take it away if you’re local.

Back garden lawn has got away from me and now looks like a festival campsite. Roughly 10m x 7m, plus a bit of strimming along the fence line and around the washing line. Please take the clippings as my brown bin is already rammed.

Washing machine finishes the cycle but leaves water sitting in the drum and the clothes are still dripping. Filter has been cleaned and the hose doesn’t look kinked, so I’m guessing pump/blockage somewhere. It’s in a ground floor kitchen and easy to pull out if needed.

My kitchen mixer tap has gone stiff and is dribbling at the base. I’ve already bought a like-for-like Bristan tap, plus there’s a little under-sink water filter that needs reconnecting (it currently feeds the cold). Access is tight in a 600mm unit so bring patience. Hoping for a neat job with no leaks.

Got a tree that’s throwing branches over the fence and shading half the garden. Just need the overhanging bits cut back to the boundary and taken away, nothing too drastic. It’s about 4–5m up so you’ll need proper ladders/tools.
