Top 5 Quick Fixes Every Home Needs — And How I Can Help

Are little jobs piling up around your home? A flat-pack cabinet still in the box, wires looking messy, or a lightbulb that’s gone and been forgotten? These small tasks might not seem urgent — but getting them sorted can make your home feel fresh, safe, and more enjoyable.

At RDS Personal Solutions, I offer trusted, friendly help for practical household tasks across the UK. Whether you’re on your own, prefer not to climb a ladder, or simply want someone reliable to lend a hand, I’m here to assist.

Here are 5 common home fixes that I can take care of for you — quickly, safely, and with respect for your space.

1. 🛠️ Assembling Flat-Pack Furniture (Like IKEA or Argos)

Bought a bedside table or shelf but haven’t had the time (or patience) to build it? You’re not alone. Flat-pack furniture can be tricky — especially if the instructions don’t make much sense or parts are missing.

What I do:I’ll assemble your furniture properly and securely, using the right tools and saving you the hassle. From IKEA bookcases to Argos TV stands, I’ll get the job done efficiently — no fuss, no wobble.

2. 💡 Changing Lightbulbs for Energy-Saving Options

Still using older-style bulbs? Replacing them with LED lightbulbs is one of the quickest ways to reduce your energy bills and brighten up your home.

What I do:I’ll help you choose the right bulbs for each room and safely install them. It’s a small change that makes a big difference — especially if you’d rather not be climbing up on a step stool.

3. 🔌 Tidying Wires and Cables

Tangled wires under the TV, across the floor, or behind furniture are a common problem — and can look messy or even become a tripping hazard.

What I do:I’ll tidy your cables using clips or cable covers, and if needed, help conceal them safely. Ideal if you want a cleaner, neater look or have pets or grandchildren about.

4. ♻️ Removing Unwanted Items to Donate or Recycle

Have items you no longer need? From clothes and small furniture to electronics and bits you’ve meant to take to the charity shop — they can pile up quickly.

What I do:I can collect and sort your unwanted items, and take them to the local charity shop or recycling centre for you. You’ll feel lighter and clearer for it — and know things are going to good use.

5. 🖼️ Hanging Frames or Mirrors for a Fresh Look

Bare walls? Hanging a few family photos or a nice mirror can transform a space — but getting things straight and secure can be fiddly.

What I do:I’ll fit your frames, mirrors, or artwork neatly and safely, using the correct fixings for your wall type. Whether it’s one special picture or a full gallery wall, I’ll make sure it’s done properly.

And That’s Just the Start...

These are just a few examples of the practical home support I provide. Whether you need help with tech setup, organising paperwork, or even dealing with service providers on your behalf — I offer a friendly, one-to-one service that’s tailored to you.

I work with many clients who are retired, widowed, or simply prefer a helping hand they can trust. I’ll always treat your home with care and respect — and I never send anyone else in my place. It’s just me, Raphael.
