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!

    • The sites in question though are not comparable to the builders yard by the station and less likely to be granted planning permission for 9 storey buildings. The builders yard fronts on to the railway line on one side and virtually no residential property surrounding on the other sides. The Gibbs & Dandy /Kwikfit and ED trading trading estate are surrounded at close proximity by residential, and in the case of the latter a Grade II building, so there would more stringent height restrictions. Both these sites are tired and sad looking, and in need of development to provide much needed housing.
    • Not sure if this is any help but was initally told to use google chrome as the browser and the code was the reference. However the person at Southwark parking took pity on me and did it for me 
    • I can see how it could've worked 20 or 30 years ago, when you couldn't swing a pool cue in the Foresters without hitting a sparks, a plumber or a chippy, but the area has changed somewhat. I'm not sure people around here have such trade-able skills these days. Have a word with someone in your local and you'll see. People are always going to need their boiler fixed, a damp patch sorted or their dimmer switch dimmed, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm never going need my corporate policy complied with, my social media planned, my data mined, my green transport tsared, my information architected or my analytics analysed. It reminds me of the great DIY con of the mid to late seventies. My Mum bought into it, my Dad didn't. Anyway, my Mum won out and we let the gardener go (he went on to be TV's Timmy Mallett, so that's a warning from history), but my Dad shorted the house out and singed his head when he cut through the flex on his new Black & Decker hedge trimmer. We all laughed, of course, but he got his own back when, because we didn't use a qualified electrician to do things properly, she electrocuted herself when she pulled the back of the plug off her Carmen heated rollers while it was still in the socket. Keep things professional, say 'No!' to this sort of nonsense. We pay people a decent rate of pay because they're specialists at these things. I did once barter my sister's space hopper and roller skates for twenty-odd square foot of crazy paving, though. That was a birthday present my Mum never forgot, and not in a good way.  
    • Thanks both of you. I have also been having the same problem. I emailed the named person on the letter, with no response. I also tried phoning and was transferred to another number which cut me off. I hope they extend the deadline for applying as there are likely to be many people without a permit by the deadline for applying.
