Building and handiman services


Recommended Posts

I cannot recommend highly enough Aston. With 24 hours notice he rescued are home from a plumbing nightmare. It required that is significant part of the kitchen was dismantled to allow access to drainage. He completed the initial part of the work, moving cabinets and ovens with a days notice. He returned immediately after the quite simple plumbing matter was resolved and rebuilt the kitchen. The quality of work was exceptional. I am already planning more projects for Aston to undertake.

I would like to add to the already extensive thread on Aston. I found him through EDF and having read such positive feedback, asked him to come and fix some roman blinds to my Victorian bay windows. I am really glad I did. He arrived on time and set about hanging my blinds. They were made to measure and unfortunately, I hadn't done a good job as they were a little out. However, Aston did a great job to make sure they fit and also that they hung straight. Given how old the building is, the window were a little crooked but he did a very neat job and they look absolutely wonderful. He made sure that I was happy with each blind he hung before moving on to the next one. He was also kind enough to help fix a door handle which required a bit of extra effort. He did a great job overall, was competitively priced and I would have no hesitation in asking him to help with other jobs. I do have a few more planned so will definitely be reaching out him!

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
