Flat-pack & furniture
Wardrobes, beds, chests of drawers, desks and garden furniture built square, levelled up and anchored safely to the wall.

you haven't had time for.
I'll get them sorted.
I'm Kaj, based in Stansted Mountfitchet. I build flat-pack furniture, hang pictures and mirrors, fit curtain rails and blinds, put up shelves, ease sticky doors and clear snag lists in one visit.

What I do
Everyday jobs around the house and garden.
Most visits take an hour or two. You can book me for one job on its own, or hand me a list and I'll work through the lot while I'm there.
Picture & mirror hanging
Heavy hallway mirrors, gallery walls and framed prints measured up, levelled properly and fixed into plasterboard, brick or lath.
Curtain rails & blind fitting
Curtain poles, tracks, roller blinds and Venetian blinds cut to size if needed and anchored cleanly into lintels or masonry.
Shelves & wall mounting
Alcove shelving, floating shelves, TV brackets, coat hooks and bathroom fittings put up straight with the right wall plugs.
Doors & light carpentry
Sticky doors planed and re-hung, loose handles, latches, dropped hinges, skirting boards and squeaky floorboards sorted out.
The snag list
Write all your small jobs down and I'll work through them in one visit, saving you paying for separate call-outs.
Odd Jobs Captain is just me and my van. I turn up when I say I will, and take pride in doing a neat job.

You'll know what it'll cost before I get started. If a job needs a plumber, electrician or roofer, I'll let you know straight away.

01 · Before I come round
A quick chat
A quick chat
about the job
Let me know what needs doing, roughly how big it is, and what sort of wall or timber I'll be working with. That's usually plenty for me to tell you how long it'll take.
If it turns out to be a two-minute tweak you can do yourself with a screwdriver, I'll happily talk you through it on the phone.
02 · On the day
Dust sheets down,
Dust sheets down,
tools out
I bring my own tools and a full kit of wall plugs, screws and brackets. Floors and nearby furniture get covered before any drilling or planing starts.
If I uncover a problem behind the plaster or under a board once I start, I'll stop and show you first so you can decide how you want to handle it.
03 · Before I leave
Checked over and cleaned up
We make sure everything sits level and opens smoothly, and I clear away all the dust and packaging. If anything settles or needs a tweak in the weeks after, give me a ring and I'll pop back.

A real example of the sort of work I do every week around Stansted and the nearby villages.
Spare bedroom
Two-door wardrobe built & levelled
Built a double shaker flat-pack wardrobe in a spare bedroom, adjusted the hinges so the doors lined up neatly, anchored it to the wall and took the cardboard away.
The floor dipped slightly near the skirting board, so I packed the base level first so both doors hung square.
