Balbriggan handyman?

josephiny

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a local handyman in Balbriggan?

I've phoned a few advertising in North County Leader, North Final Directory etc...but they all say Balbriggan is outside their area (even when the advert says all areas covered).

Is there any other local advertising places I could look?

I would have thought it would be easy to find someone to do a simple job (drilling 5 holes) but it is proving surprisingly difficult. I would do it myself but my cheap drill isn't up to the task, and I'm worried about drilling into wires, but it would be an easy job for someone with the right tools.

Any advice appreciated

Brian?

What are you trying to do?

You can buy a stud/cable finder for about 20 quid if you're worried about wiring. Although it's fairly easy to know where any cables are as any electrical wiring drops vertically to a socket.

I got one of these for about €50 in homebase in Drogheda:

Drilled through the cavity block in my extension like it was butter .

Or if all else fails you could try dropping into the Arrow or Charlie Corr's and they would be able to point you in the right direction.

Sorry I'm being a big thicko, what is Arrow or Charlie Corr's?

I know I could do it myself, but I figure by the time I've bought a drill and a wire detector (one hole is very near a light switch and alarm junction box) it would be cheaper just to pay someone

Charlie Corrs is the hardware store on the main drag beside Spar & opposite Railway Street.

The Arrow is the large hardware warehouse off the ring road up beside the Kitchen Place.
