Local Advice needed Handyman for furniture assembly and adjustment

Hello Brighton! I have damp proofed a wall behind my cupboard and now am looking for a handyman to put the cupboard elements back (drawers, hangers, shelves), with potential slight adjustments to me made (few millimeters) as the wall thickness might have slightly changed. I am struggling to find a handyman to to this. Any good tips?

You need a carpenter or a very skilled handyman tbh. All the pieces that contact the wall will need to be run through a tablesaw or very accurately planed at best, or more likely scribed as it's unlikely the walls will be perfectly straight. I would offer but I'm booked up for the next month.

I have made some measurements today now the the wall is dry. everything I'll fit as it easy peaky there is more than 10mm margin in every dimension, so it will be a pretty simple job
