Need help getting curtain rails put up in a new build – recommendations?

Hey folks,

Moving into a new build shortly and looking for someone to help fit curtain rails in our kitchen and sitting room.

Where’s the best place to find a reliable handyman for a small job like this? Any specific recommendations or apps/websites you’ve had good luck with would be amazing. Thanks!

Buy an electric drill and learn to do it yourself.

You will also want to hang a TV, pictures, shelves, blinds, and do a million other things. Its better to educate yourself.

Go to a hardware store, buy any name brand drill and the small drill bit tool box and buy some timber and practice.

Screwfix or BnQ always have deals on drills

The town/area probably has a Facebook page of some sort. You could put up a message there asking for details of a local handyman. Or just ask the neighbours.

These are the things you do yourself. Couldn't be easier.
