General recommendation for finding trades people


PSJ

Recommended Posts

Hi - although the forum is great for finding locally recommended trades people, and the first place I look, I sometimes find they are too popular and thus hard to book. I've had a bit of repair work needed over the last few days and ended up using Mybuilder.com and I've got to say its been great for finding a variety of trades. Very easy process and great response. I'm in no way connected to them, just been using it and thought others might find it useful too if not already using it.

I agree it's good however only yesterday I had to write a negative review about a rubbish tiler I got from there (not in ED). I'm going to have to touch up his poor work myself, but some of it is too hard for me to to fix, e.g. he used 2 different colours of grout, holes in the grout. He had 99% good feedback but I really don't get it, he was rushed, messy, tatty finishing etc but if you read the reviews you would have thought he was great.

In hindsight I should have waited a month for the tiler my neighbour recommended to become available.

    • When I did a Diploma in Community Studies at Birkbeck College many many moons ago, community was defined a group with common/similar beliefs , people living within a defined geographical area,.
    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4] 
    • Hello! I’m looking to collect some pallets and MDF boards from anyone in the area who has some and no longer needs them?   It would also be a huge bonus if anyone has a PA sound system I could rent/borrow/buy off them.   Thank you in advance!
    • That was the best "pound shop", a great selection of products, sadly it and the chain went to the wall as they say.
