Local detail

Working on Bangalow homes

Older Bangalow houses are largely hardwood framed with lath, VJ boards or single skin walls. Modern plasterboard anchors are useless in them and hardwood splits if it is not pre drilled, so fixings here are chosen by hand rather than by habit.

Timber floors are the other local constant. Everything comes in on protection, tools stay off the boards and we vacuum before we leave.

Common questions

Handyman questions from Bangalow

Can you hang artwork on old VJ or single skin walls?

Yes. Older wall types need fixings matched to what is actually behind the surface, which we check before drilling rather than after.

Do you travel into the Bangalow hinterland?

Yes, including Federal, Possum Creek, Coopers Shoot and Newrybar, with no extra call out charge.

Can you repair original timber floors in Bangalow?

Yes. Scratches, gouges and water damage in original hardwood floors are part of our finishes work, quoted above the day rate after we see photos.

Can you hang a heavy mirror on a lath and plaster or VJ wall?

Yes. The weight goes into the framing rather than the wall surface, so we find the studs before choosing a fixing.
