Recommended Posts

Hi I am looking for recommendations for a builder/gardener/handyman capable of


+ dismantling old shed and old greenhouse

+ lay new concrete slab foundations for new shed (must be levelled) and paved ramp

+ assemble new shed

+ assemble new greenhose

+ clear out patio from weeds, level up and relay crazy patio stones


We would really like to call in for quotes only people that come with a good/genuine reference.


Thanks


Laura

I used T&T gardening for a smaller job, putting up a fence, but I was really pleased with the work and the guy told me they do other work, like concrete work aswell (I was thinking about taking the concreted garden out and putting back a lawn) so maybe they could give you some references of people they did your kind of work for. I thought the guy who did my job was good at his job, was knowledgeable when I asked him about other types of work/knew the best way to go about resolving a problem and was also nice guy. You can do a searach on the site for them.

Hi citylover, thxs for the message, I cant find any reference for T&T (might be my down to my poor IT skills, bit really did not find any result in the search).


I contacted another well referenced forum garden team leader and Got a quote of ?20 per person per hour for the patio weeding job.... now that seems quite steep to me given that it is not a skilled job.... not one where one needs to distinguish weeds from plants (anything growing out of the cracks of my crazy patio is a weed and needs digging out). I asked for a price to do the job and was told "I am so sorry, but I charge only for hour job" - oh yes and the quote becomes ?35 per person per hour if they have to dispose of waste. To be honest they have not even seen the area, but emailed me their standard quotes, clearly there are many wealthy people on the forum if this highly recommended lady can charge this much (?40 per hour for a team of two or ?70 and hour if waste disposal is required).


I really need someone who can quote per job or at a more reasonable per hour rate.


Anyone can help?

Hi, I have no idea what t&t would charge but they were the more reasonable of the two quotes I got for my job. Some tradesmen here do definitely overcharge simply because some of the ED population inhabit an alternative reality (!), anyway, I found them, though haven't had contact with them since last summer so hope it's up to date

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
