Builder needed to turn coal bunker into outside cupboard

Hello - I live in Honor Oak in a 50s ex-council flat. I have one of those brick coal bunkers by my front door and want the front knocked out of it and some secure doors fitting so I can use it as an outside store. It also has a concrete 'lid' with a hatch in it that will need covering or replacing.


Can anyone recommend a builder with a large lump hammer?!

Hi Karen,


I'm doing exactly the same thing to mine! I live on Brockley Grove, ex-local, 1950s with coal hole. I've had a builder to quote me for it etc, I want to put my washing machine in mine so I need it wired up for elec and waste water. I've also asked him to fit a secure door to it. His name is Steve Davis, at Rutland Building; he's been recommended on here and I'm considering asking him to do a full kitchen re-fit for me but it's not started yet so I've got no first hand experience of his work. Want me to let me know how it goes?

    • Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.
    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
