ODD JOBS — BY THE HOUR / SOUTHWARK 5031
Odd jobs in Southwark, finished and tested.
THE WHOLE LIST. ONE VISIT.
Southwark is postcode 5031 and 2.86 km from the Adelaide CBD, inside the 60 km service area. The record for the suburb holds the postcode and distance and no separate soil or terrain note, so a Southwark list is priced from the work itself and the fixings are chosen once the wall is in front of the drill. The visit ends with everything operated, not just installed.
The test at the end is the point
A latch that is fitted but not aligned will fail the first time it is used. On a Southwark visit, every item is operated before the kit is packed: doors closed and opened, drawers run full length, windows latched, seals pressed. It is a two-minute habit that turns a list of attempted jobs into a list of finished ones.
What Southwark bookings are made of

- 04Silicone renewed where it has lifted at the edge
- 05Handles and hinges swapped on worn doors

Southwark: recorded detail and the wall check
What the record gives for Southwark is the postcode 5031 and a distance of 2.86 km from the CBD within the 60 km service area, with no soil or terrain note attached. So the wall decides: a stud is located before anything heavy, masonry gets a plug and screw, and screens and latches are set to the frame as it actually sits.
Things that are referred instead
Electrical work past a battery or globe, plumbing past a tap washer or cistern valve, gas and anything structural are referred rather than attempted. The reason is simple: those need a licence, and a Southwark list is better finished than overreached.
Straight answers
Can a Southwark screen be adjusted rather than replaced?
Usually, yes. A screen that drags or will not latch is often a roller, a hanger or a frame out of square, and adjusting it is quicker and cheaper than a new screen. It is set and run several times before the visit ends.
Why test every latch during the visit?
Because a latch that closes on the third try will be a problem again by the weekend. On a 5031 job each one is cycled while the tools are still out, so any striker that needs a millimetre more is moved there and then.
How is a Southwark wall chosen for a heavy mirror?
The wall is checked first, since the suburb record carries no soil note to rely on. Plasterboard over studs takes a coach screw or a heavy-duty anchor, masonry takes a plug, and a wall that will not hold the load is reported instead of tested to destruction.
What is a realistic Southwark list for one visit?
Around four to six short items: a couple of latches, a door eased, a screen adjusted and a silicone joint renewed. Longer jobs are quoted separately, and the travel from 2.86 km out of the CBD is not the limiting factor.
