I need a handyman to complete the installation of 5 IKEA EKET wall cabinets on a plasterboard wall. When drilling we hit something hard behind the plaster and stopped, as we’re unsure if it’s a stud, concrete, or a pipe/cable. Looking for someone experienced with plasterboard walls who can check for services, use correct fixings, and safely complete the installation. Cabinets and rails are already assembled. Preference for someone with a stud/cable detector.
@Andre d. ????
In the afternoon on Sunday.
@Andre d. Perfect! Are you available on Sunday? Thanks
I can
@Edward A. Hi Edward, Thanks for the quote. Before confirming, could you please let me know if you have equipment (stud / cable / pipe detector) to check for any electrical cables or water pipes between the plasterboard wall and the concrete wall behind it, before drilling? Once confirmed, I’m happy to proceed.
@Daniel D. Thanks for confirming. I understand the scope of the work. My budget is a bit tight. would you consider €150, if that works for you? Thanks Daniel
Yeah, I have
@Vadym M. Thanks Vadym, Before closing the deal. Could you please confirm me that you have the tools to check whether there are any pipes or electrical cables between the plasterboard and the concrete wall?
@Хенни Д Yes, of course, I can come any day that's convenient for you. Write me a private message and we'll come to an agreement.
@Vadym M. Hi Vadym, Could you please translate to English. Thanks
@хени д я могу зайти в любой день когда вам удобно, отправьте мне сообщение в личное и мы договоримся)
@Daniel D. Hi Daniel, I’ve uploaded a couple of photos for reference. The IKEA EKET cabinets come with a wall rail that can be adjusted and fixed to the wall. When I started drilling, I went through the drywall and plaster but then hit a hard surface. I believe there is a concrete wall behind the plasterboard (this wall borders the emergency stairs). I stopped because I’m not sure if there are any pipes or electrical services in the gap between the plasterboard and the concrete, and I didn’t want to risk damaging anything. I’m looking for someone experienced who can check this safely and complete the installation using the correct fixings. Do you have the equipment to check whether there are any pipes or electrical cables between the plasterboard and the concrete wall? From what I can see, once this is confirmed, the job itself should be fairly straightforward.
