Highly recommendable Builders

Recommended Posts

George my builder and his team have done a fantastic job building me a double story extension, re routing sewers/drains, and re configuring the current layout, steel box frames fitted, windows, plumbing, plastering, decorating...the works. They have payed attention to detail so the finish is great, are willing to listen and respond to your requests and want you to be happy with the finished job. They have worked relentlessly and reliably and are always happy to be there.....no winging and complaining like so many builders I have used in the past. They have made the process a pleasure. George's mobile is 07570 924915. Or contact myself. Tim

Please please please do not use George the builder. I have had the most terrible and stressful experience with him. The job was for a loft conversion and reconfiguration.


I don't really want to write a whole long story here but only to say that I now have an ensuite bathroom that has no very vital outgoing pipe connection rendering the bathroom unusable and to put one in means ripping up walls and tiles. The kitchen is incomplete - oven, stovetop and worktop not installed. Electrical wiring and lights not complete with wires hanging out the walls. He has not shown building control a large portion of the work, which means that they now need to open up walls to inspect. To top it all the staircase is not compliant. I can't even begin to comprehend the cost to fix everything, the disruption and stress. Further to this I also now need to redo the roof as well as all the electrics in the house.


George has now 'disappeared'. He will not return calls. I have scaffolding all around my property with no numbers of who to contact to take it down.


My process has been anything but a pleasure.

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
