Have been meaning to add our recommendation for Greg for ages - Greg has helped us out several times over the last few months - making shelves to match some existing ones, solving a sticky wooden door, and creating an access hatch in some patio decking. He's reasonably priced, very reliable and does a great job, and he's a very friendly chap too. He's good friends with an excellent decorator we've been using (Des who I've recommended on a separate thread) so the two of them work really well together if you need any woodwork that Greg does painting.


Greg's mobile is 07949640999

I also can recommend Greg - he came to sand our wooden kitchen work surfaces & oil them and helpfully brought along a kitchen fitter colleague who sorted a number of issues I had with cupboards & kitchen lights. Both very tidy & made sure no mess was left behind which was appreciated. This was the second time I've used Greg, and the second time he has done an excellent job.

I 'd like to highly recommend Greg as well... he cut down to size an old door we'd bought, hung it really well, installed the locks etc., and was kind enough to give me advice over the phone when I was buying the door even though he hadn't started the job yet! He was friendly, knowledgeable, worked hard and did a great job.
Just to add another recommendation for Greg, he's just hung a door for us and went out of his way to get the right door furniture and took his time fitting it into our wonky frame. Very professional, friendly and quite happy to work alongside a screaming baby!

We used Greg to fit some floating shelves, replace a kickboard in our kitchen and build us a new integrated winerack. We also got a new bench made from reclaimed wood. Everything looks great and was the quality of the worksmanship is evident. We'd definitely use him again or recommend to others.

Greg Bramwell has just finished repairing our rather dilapidated lean-to. In addition to replacing rotten timber, Greg also hung two new doors for us. The work has been done to a high standard and Greg was a pleasure to deal with.


I would highly recommend Greg for any carpentry work.

I would highly recommend Greg for any carpentry work. He has done various jobs over the past year in my house, e.g. repairing some garden doors, making a built in shelf in my bedroom and recently, constructing a beautiful built-in wardrobe in my living room. He is adamant that the client is happy and goes out of his way to make sure that the project is the way the client wants it. Furthermore the price/value relation is excellent. If he recommends a painter, called Des, to do paintwork, go for him as well. He has done an excellent painting job on my built-in wardrobe.

Hi,


Greg's details are

He just did some really excellent work for us: two big wardrobes, a cupboard and some floating shelves. He's a considerate workman and sticks with it, even if there are problems - for example, it turned out our walls weren't straight and smoke alarms and sockets needed to be moved. He was also kind enough to fix a couple of other issues like a sticking front door while he was at it.


Nice guy too. I would certainly recommend him.

Another recommendation. Greg just built two fitted wardrobes in the alcoves either side of the chimney breast in our bedroom. The space was not uniform (old slanty walls!) and he did a great job. We had three panels on each door finished with beading which gives

it a really smart finish.


We are really happy with his work and he did it for a fair price.

Just wanted to post another recommendation for Greg. He came at a half hour's notice to fit a dishwasher for me - it should have been an easy half-hour sort of job, but for all sorts of reasons (poor workmanship by previous contractors, mostly) it turned out to be quite complex, involving removing the kitchen worktop and crawling under the eaves to get at the water pipes. Greg got everything sorted, to a very good standard, and at a fair price.

Another recommendations for Greg.


Great response to an emergency situation , a overflow toilet cistern . Greg got everything sorted very fast .I had used him twice before for different jobs and found him very reliable.

Professional and friendly .


Will use him again and recommend to everyone .

If anyone is looking for a local carpenter I can highly recommend Philip Quinn. He laid our new oak floor and insulated the whole area underneath. He is an excellent craftsman with very high standards and attention to detail. Philip was involved in the whole process and helped us find the wooden floor at trade price and helped us decide on the best option for insulation. As it's probably the case with most ground floors in Victorian houses ours was terribly uneven, but Philip's patience and perfection resulted in a beautiful and even oak floor. He also made new skirting boards that of course were such a challenge with all the wonky walls but he made it all look so perfect! He also made bespoke doors for our storage area underneath the stairs. Very happy with the quality of his work. He is local and his number is 07701 097779
Another recommendation for Greg - and my reason for my first post on the EDF. Quick response to initial inquiry, lots of advice on ideas for shelving in our alcoves (we went for reclaimed wood shelves around fireplace) no attempts at 'up selling' and did the job in less time than he estimated, at a very reasonable price. Trustworthy and top quality work - I'm happy to recommend him. Mobile: 07949 640999.

    • What "stricter" consequences could there be for shoplifting (or any other crime) than being put into jail, do you think? Though our prisons are of course full enough already, without more people being shoehorned  into them.
    • Returning to the original question, I had my jabs at Tessa Jowell yesterday. I was early and I was  seen on time, and it was a lovely pharmacist who did them, but the admin beforehand (not by her) was a bit iffy. I was given forms to fill in but not told what to do with them afterwards, so I  presumed I had to take them into the consulting room, as the rest was supposed to be filled in by a clinician, but no! After some time had elapsed and I had found a seat (there was no information on where to sit either, so people were sitting in two separate areas, neither of which had many seats) my name was called and  the forms were taken behind the counter. Be aware if you don't have an appointment - even in the relatively short time I was there, three people turned up without appointments having been sent there by a GP (I presume) or having  previously been  asked by the pharmacy to come  back at a different time, and they were all sent away again because the pharmacy didn't have enough flu vaccine until the following day. I have no idea if this was due to a misunderstanding on the people's side, their GP's or the pharmacy's, but none of them were very happy, and one lady said she "couldn't keep coming back" 😭  At least one of them didn't seem to understand what he was being told, possibly due to a language issue. I felt quite sorry for the pharmacist, who was giving jabs all day on top of her usual workload but still managing to stay cheerful! Though she wasn't the one dealing with the unhappy people! I have a sore arm from the Covid jab (I chose to have the jabs in different arms), but no other ill effects so far, touch wood. 
    • Line speed and the strength of your Wi-Fi signal are two separate things.  The first is determined by the type of connection (fibre/copper etc) to the outside world and the second is the connection between the device (printer/TV/laptop/tablet etc) and the router. If you are connecting a device to the router using cables (as Alec1 is) then this is will give the best possible connection but isn't practical for many without a degree of upheaval and even then not all devices (tablets for example) will allow a wired connection. So you relying on the quality of the Wi-Fi signal from the router to the device and this will depend on the quality of the router, the type of Wi-Fi connection (the frequency), line of sight etc - many different things.  This is why some people opt for a "mesh" type setup which is supposed to give a solid quality of Wi-Fi signal around the house with little or no blackspots.  It's expensive though and still requires the devices that send and receive the signal (like the plug-ins you have) to be wired to the router.
    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.
