Skirting boards need glossing (any day this week)

Preston, Lancashire · North WestPosted 28 days ago by Ruth M.Needed 14 August 2026

What's needed

I'm recovering from surgery and can't manage it on my own. Happy to work around whatever suits you — mornings, evenings or weekends. I'd love to learn as we go if you don't mind explaining what you're doing. I'd be very grateful for any offers. I'm based in Preston, Lancashire.

Can you help?

How helping works

  1. 1. Send a message. Say what you could do and when you're free — there's no obligation on either side.
  2. 2. Agree the details. Ruth M. picks who to reply to and you sort out timing between you.
  3. 3. Lend a hand. Once it's sorted, the listing is closed so nobody else offers unnecessarily.

Helping is always free and voluntary. If anything feels wrong, report the listing and our moderators will look into it.
