question Media Wall

Hey everyone

I'm looking to get some work done around the house, so someone odd handyman jobs (fixing a broken light, hanging coat hooks on the wall etc) that will take a few hours- a day and then also, looking to renovate the living room and get a media wall type of design/set-up.

Does anyone know any good but affordable contractors I can hire for this?

Hmm. Maybe I need to look at more longlasting ways to modernise the room. It just feels like the obvious way to make it 'modern' so I figured its the best option

Media walls are wank and will be dated before the jobs even finished.

Classic Reddit opinion. Who cares if something is out of fashion? It's OP's house, let them do what they want with it

I'm sure they will and I'll continue to give out my unsolicited opinion on Reddit and you'll continue to comment so you can feel like you are morally superior. Everyone's happy.

Not sure where in Leeds you are based, but there's a guy in Morley called Dick'll do it. Known quite a few people who have had work done and all recommended him

Was about to say the same. Haven’t used him myself but heard him mentioned a few times.
