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!

    • I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?
    • Always preferred Grace and Favour to the BMC, commented in the past on this and sadly long since gone   
    • If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.
    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
