Recommended Posts

Hi,

I was about to have my garden levelled out and astro laid, I had a quote and work arranged but the person has suddenly left the country for 2 months and can no longer do the works. Can you help? Need to have experience of doing the below works please as I have had bad experience with an inexperienced fence fitter before:


THE BRIEF: Create a 2 -tier garden using sleepers as soil retention and lay with an artificial grass, resetting some of the fence panels.


THE WORK:

*supply and fit approx 12x 2.4m sleepers along LH boundary and across centre of lawn to delineate the 2 tier. Sleepers to be fixed with steel stakes drilled through the centre


*skim off grass from the lawn and dispose of. Level the soil to create the 2 tiers, removing any excess soil.


*supply and lay approx 8 tonnes of ballast over the soil. Beat the ballast with wacker plate to flatten and compact


*supply and lay approx 4 tonnes of sand over ballast to provide drainage, beat sand with wacker plate to flatten.


*supply and lay approx 50m2 of artificial grass to the 2 areas. Supply and fit joining tape to make up the 5m width of the garden, stretch and fix with metal staples


*supply and fit approx 8x new gravel boards to the base of fence on LH side of garden to cover up holes made by change of level


*detatch 4x fence panels from 2x posts, dig out 2x posts and create holes for new posts. Supply and fit 2x new 75x75mm posts set it postcrete. Reattach fence panels.


Works to take approx 9-10 working days based on 8am-5pm.


If you can help please can you dm me quotes and availability. Looking to get the work done yesterday!

    • The current crimes from what I hear are phone theft from the person, car theft and tradesman vehicle/tools theft. Plus of course the overall increase in stabbings and shootings across London which are becoming normalised.  
    • Whilst clearly 'a crime', I don't think this necessarily sits with the other things you have described. A tragic and awful incident certainly, and dreadfully traumatic to the victim, but not part of any 'crime wave' as such, I suspect. It's the sort of thing which, sadly, can happen anywhere (I, again, suspect). 
    • Does anybody have a folding pasting table they no longer need? All the ones I've found online seem to have terrible reviews, mainly due to being unstable,  or else coming apart! I don't mind if it's grubby, I just want it to gesso wallpaper lining paper, for art not walls!
    • Massive thank you to Stephen. Painted our whole house - and got lots of other bits sorted, too. Nothing was too much trouble, everything looks great and all came in on quote. Fantastic. Liverpool fan, but don’t hold that against him. Will 100% use again.
