What to know about Furniture assembly
Furniture assembly is the visit you book when the boxes have been in the hallway for a fortnight and the allen key has gone under the couch. An assembler brings proper drivers, builds the carcasses square, levels them on a floor that is never quite flat, fixes the tall pieces back to the wall and takes the cardboard away. In Australian housing the last two steps are the ones that actually need someone competent, because the wall behind a wardrobe might be double brick, brick veneer, a timber stud frame or a steel stud frame, and each of those takes a different fixing.

How to choose handymen in Fawkner
- Describe all the small jobs up front so the handyman can bring the right tools and give you a realistic estimate.
- Ask whether they charge by the hour, by the job or with a minimum visit fee.
- For anything involving wiring, gas or new plumbing, use a licensed trade instead of a general handyman.
- Check that they carry liability insurance, especially for work on ladders or on the exterior.
- Ask whether they supply materials or whether you should buy them ahead of time.
Questions to ask handymen before you hire
- Do you charge by the hour or by the job, and is there a minimum?
- Can you do all of the jobs on my list, or will some need a licensed trade?
- Will you bring the materials, or should I buy them?
- Are you insured if something is damaged while you're working?
- How do you handle it if a job takes longer than expected?

Handyman Services guide
A handyman fills the gap between the jobs you can do yourself and the jobs that need a trade: flat-pack assembly, mounting a television, hanging doors, rehanging a gate, patching plaster, sealing gaps, fixing flyscreens…

TV Mounting guide
Television mounting looks like one job and is really two, and the join between them is the wall. Getting the bracket onto structure, at the right height, dead level, is carpentry.

Common furniture assembly questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
