Small Builders

Recommended Posts

I am the friend and helper of a lovely 90 years old woman owns and lives in Victorian house; the steps to the front door are cracked and very unstable. there has been a temporary fix done on what was a hole. As such it is a safety issue, so we would be very grateful someone to come out to look at the steps and give a quote as soon as possible. Can anyone recommend any reliable and reasonable builders?


Any help gratefully appreciated! thanks so much

    • Just pull out, if you can  If the owners haven't been upfront with you about these things, what else might they not have told you? Better to lose some money now than buy it  and regret it. Plus as you say, what would happen if you wanted to sell the house in the future? Also, an insurer who will insure you now may not necessarily continue to do so. I have had subsidence, my then insurer withdrew my insurance as a result of the claim, and I had to go through a specialist broker to get insured. I would say it's just not worth the risk and the hassle, irrespective of the structural stability report (which presumably isn't a guarantee?) And don't be embarrassed! None of this is your fault!
    • That's the most off topic post ever 🤣 A lot better than I was, out of bed, still not great, thanks for asking! Back on topic, C123 if you can't find anything within your price range, you could always go out for a non Christmas lunch and take your own crackers (are they still a thing?), party hats (ditto) and a sprig of holly to put on top of your dessert. And a bottle of Baileys or advocaat.You might have to hide that.
    • This is a very thoughtful film about the toxic and traumatic effects of boarding schools on our ruling class and therefore on us. It's pay-for, but the trailer will give you  flavour of it.
