Flat-pack furniture assembly, furniture repairs, TV and wall mounting — done properly across Cairns and the Northern Beaches.
G'day, I'm El — a local Cairns handyman who takes the pain out of flat-pack furniture assembly, furniture repairs and wall mounting. We've all opened a box from IKEA, Bunnings or Ozito and felt our enthusiasm drain at the sight of sixty identical screws and a diagram that makes no sense. I'll build it for you — properly, square, level and sturdy — so you can skip the frustration and enjoy the finished piece the same day.
I assemble all types of flat-pack and ready-to-assemble furniture: beds and bed frames, wardrobes and tallboys, bookshelves and entertainment units, desks, dining tables, office furniture, outdoor settings, kids' furniture and storage systems. I bring my own tools, follow the instructions (or figure them out when they're unclear), and clean up all the packaging and offcuts before I leave. For bigger jobs — a whole house of furniture after a move, or an office fit-out — I can knock out a long list in a single visit, which usually works out cheaper than spreading it over weeks.
Beyond assembly, I repair furniture that's come loose, wobbly or damaged. A bed frame that creaks, a chair with a broken rail, a drawer that won't slide, a wardrobe door that's dropped — these are often simple fixes with the right glue, dowels, brackets or runners. I'll tell you honestly whether a repair is worth it or a replacement makes more sense, and I won't charge you to find out.
I also do TV wall mounting and wall mounting of all kinds — mounting televisions on plaster, brick and feature walls, running the cables neatly where possible, fitting floating shelves, hanging heavy mirrors and pictures securely into the right fixings for the wall type. Cairns homes have a mix of plaster on timber, brick blockwork and concrete, so I use the correct anchors and studs so what's on the wall stays on the wall — safely.
I'm fully insured, I turn up on time, and every job comes with my money-back guarantee — if you're not happy with the work, you don't pay. Call or request a quote below with the items you need built, mounted or repaired, and I'll let you know what's involved and when I can get there.
