Builder/ Handy man recommendations please


Kemi-A

Recommended Posts

Hello, I am looking to get some work done around the house.

Jobs that need doing:

Conservatory work, new floor, blinds fitted, plastering and leak repairs.

Blinds to be put up in two bedrooms, flooring changed ( wood - carpet) and plastering of walls.


Happy for this work to be done during lockdown or straight after.


Thanks,

Kemi

I can wholeheartedly recommend Franco, an Italian electrician and handyman. I have lost count of the jobs he's done for me since I found him on this forum. He painted my kitchen and my house fa?ade, has put up a new fence, some shelves, two blinds, a mirror, changed one socket and put on a light fitting, put on the laminate floorboard, sealed my bathtub and fixed a door that wouldn't close properly... text him on 07417 507116. Better to text him as his English is still work in progress, but he's quick, professional and knowledgeable.

Gloria, So because the handyman didn?t turn up for you nobody else in East Dulwich should use him, correct?

I have deja vu.


As I just said on another thread, if someone doesn't turn up for a booked job, it's a bit of a red flag. Isn't it?

    • Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year  Here are your Gardening Tips  for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year  1. Pruning.  Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring  Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically  You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower  Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring  Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer    2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil    Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out  That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues  Please give me a call on :  07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel
