I wanted to provide a strong recommendation for Nick Minnes and his team. I came across Nick when someone on our street was moving out shortly after we moved in and posted on our street whatsapp group with their top ten best trades people in which Nick was listed as a handyman+. We had just moved into a house that had been lived in for 40 years by a couple in their late 80s so there was a lot of work to do! Over the last 5 years, we have used Nick on multiple occasions. The definition of handymen+ does not do Nick and his team justice as they do so much more than this. The work they have done includes: A complete new bathroom refurbishment (including re-building a new wall) Completely refurbishing a sitting room (including inserting sound insultation and bespoke cabinetary) Bespoke under stairs storage (after a number of other trades people said it was too difficult) Preparing the house for plastering (removing old wallpaper, filling in cracks) Outside restoration of bricks and cornice Fixing floorboards down Nick is not your normal handymen. He is extremely creative and also great with thinking through colour schemes. I wouldn't hesitate to use Nick and his team again. Everything that they have done for me has been of the highest quality. They are trustworthy, tidy, reliable and honest. I already have a list of other jobs to get them back in for. I would very happily provide a reference for Nick - just like the people did who were leaving our road. Nick can be contacted on: 07866 267 581. Thanks, Andy

After nearly 4 years, regrettably the time has come to say goodbye to our AMAZING nanny who has looked after our 3 children, due to our changing needs. If anyone is looking for or knows of a family looking for a nanny locally please message me and I can pass on Nicola's details. I am also very happy to talk through our experience. Any family would be lucky to have her, she's one in million and has become a HUGE part of our family. She would be looking for a sole charge role, 4 days a week between the hours of roughly 8am - 6pm, starting mid - late April ideally. If anyone is interested please get in touch with me on 07801729616. Jen

Does anyone have any recommendations for electricians specialising in fixing broken ovens. The fan has broken. Thanks!

Gerry a really helpful plumber I have used on a number of occasions has kindly offered to pop around tomorrow if you give him a call. His number is +44 7872 303925. Good luck!

Hi all, Any good recommendations for someone who can remove paint from the front of my house and restore the brick underneath? Thanks,

Hi all, We are planning to get plantation shutters in our master reception room. We cannot decide between getting a single stack half way up the window or double stack covering the whole window. Whilst we think that single stack will no doubt ensure privacy from passers by outside, we are not sure if the reception room will lack a feeling of warmth if we do not have a double stack. We are not planning on getting curtains. Any advice is very much welcome! Thanks

Hi there, Can anyone recommend a good wallpaper stripper? Please let me know. Many thanks!

I wanted to highly recommend Gerry. I have used him a few times and have always been impressed by how responsive and helpful he has been but he really excelled himself over the weekend. My wife and I were away for a weekend without the kids with my wife's sister looking after them at our house. The boiler broke down late on Friday evening so I called Gerry. He said he might be able to take a look on Saturday morning even though it was his son's 2nd birthday. I woke up on Saturday morning at 8:30am to hear that Gerry had already been to the property and spent an hour fixing the boiler. This is indicative of Gerry - he goes beyond the call of duty. If anyone wants more info, please feel free to PM me. Gerry's number is: 07872303925

Wanted to recommend Gerry the plumber. He came out to my property really quickly after contacting him (he was recommended on this site). His communication was great, was punctual, got the job done, didnt charge a crazy amount and even helped me carrying a washing machine up three flights of stairs (wasnt the easiest job!) I will be definitely using him again. His number is 07872303925

Hi there, Could anyone recommend someone to restore some victorian tiles? We have moved into an old house and tore up the carpets in the hallway to discover some beautiful tiles which need a bit of love. Many thanks! Andy

Hi all, Does anyone know any washing machine engineers/wizards? Having trouble getting new washing machine to work post house move. Have used the spindoctor in the past but he is on holiday for 2 weeks and need someone fairly urgently. Any recommendations would be gratefully received! Thanks!

I have now used Des on 3 separate occasions. He has been brilliant. What I have appreciated most is his problem solving and that he will go out of his way to help with other issues not strictly related to painting. The quality of his work is excellent. I also trust him with my keys and can definitely leave him to get on with jobs. Would be happy to show people quality of his work if they PM me

Hi all, Looking for recommendations for a professional cleaner who can come to spend a day doing a deep clean post a loft conversion where the ceiling had to be lowered which meant lots of dust everywhere. Looking for someone who can just turn up and blitz the upstairs and kitchen before we move back in. Any recommendations would be very gratefully received. Thanks! Andy
