tolsti Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I would head over to the nearest decent hotel and ask to speak to their chief engineer. Make friends with him and he will always have qualified staff who would appreciate a little extra on their days off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabC Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I have used this lot for roof repairs, aircon service and also plumbing and found them to be reasonable quality/price and turned up when they said they would. Caveat I haven't used them for 18 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketboybkk Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 What the OP wants are things doing beyond a 'handymans' duties. He needs professional tradesman to do some of the tasks. Why would a roofer install cable? They wouldn't. It seems to me that the OP wants cheap labour. This will end in tears & further posts & complaining.

Pay cheap pay twice Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Why would one need a professional roofer to fix a roof leak? A roof leak doesn't require to have the roof structure rebuilt, just adjusting and/or replacing some roof tiles. A handyman should be able to do most of the jobs mentioned in the OP except maybe for repair electrical appliances. Where did the OP say he wanted cheap? I read he said fair priced, but maybe you got another screen as me. Edited May 23, 2015 by Anthony5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketboybkk Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Disagree In western countries you wouldn't call a handyman to fix s roof, you'd call a roofer. Each to their own. I see problems ahead Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apologies I just read my post from yesterday and found I didnt post the link. http://pattayahomerepair.com/ In light of what others have said the owner of the company contracts out the work to professionals, for example the plumbing stuff was done by a guy who also has the contract at The Dusit.

2nice Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Names and numbers are good as are some responses. Most important right now is i need someone to fix or replace a wall fan. It will not switch on, period. I think I will hit this one problem at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketboybkk Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Get a multimeter & test for power. If power, replace the unit, if no power then get a sparky in as it's an electrical issue. They're easy to replace 3 or 4 wires. Easy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2nice Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Next major problem: roof leaks, cheap possibly plastic roof panels. In fact they are so flimsy one can not walk on them or they might crack/break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact they are so flimsy one can not walk on them or they might crack/break. Get a decent builder in is my thought. They'll deal or know all kinds of tradesman. Don't try to fix things on the cheap. It'll cost more in the long run. Get everything fixed properly in one go, get guarantees & make sure all jobs are complete before you pay.

2nice Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) Also need electrician or handy man to install a commuter cable to circumvent wireless and make a land type line. You know, a direst line from router or transmitter to my computer. Edited June 5, 2015 by 2nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, a direst line from router or transmitter to my computer. You don't need an electrician for that, you can buy ethernet "RJ 45" in most computer shops, just walk around Tuk Com and you will see it. I can maybe see the need for a handyman if you need it taken through a ceiling or tacked to a skirting board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
