Someone to fix loft hatch/carpenter/loft ladder

Hello,


this is one of those small but skilled jobs that I know aren't always that popular! I did have a handyman to originally do this but unfortunately it was just too much for him and he very badly cut down my loft hatch and the surrounding architrave, and managed to break the brand new loft ladder. He was nice, I just wish he had told me it was all too much for him. I therefore need a really good, efficient carpenter/handyman/builder who would be happy to sort this all out for me. The hinges were put on the wrong way to the loft hatch, the edge has been hacked at and I can't use the ladder. Does anyone have recommendations for someone who might be able to come and fix it all for me?! I think good carpentry skills are needed, as I'd love to get the poor damaged architrave/hatch etc sorted, as well as get the ladder properly installed and fixed. Not expecting to be besieged by enquiries for this one (!) but fingers crossed! Thank you all.

If he is still doing it, I very highly recommend Graham, 07930 763431.


He specialises in loft ladders and did a fab job for me some years back, including widening the hatch.



ETA: He was competent, friendly, and phoned to let me know he was running late (by about five minutes :) )


I would definitely use him again.

    • Certainly the infamous (and mythical) SE London cat killer turned out to be foxes attacking dying and dead cats injured by cars, but fox: cat encounters do appear to happen, even where cats are victorious. Fox: adult humans less so. At least where foxes are the aggressors.
    • That was very kind of you to take the cat to the vet. Did the car not stop?
    • This is a bit outside our area, but I'm posting in case .... Last night (Sat.20 Dec), around 10.30, we saw a cat hit by a car in St Norbert Road, SE4.  We took him to the out of hours vet in Beckenham, where they confirmed that he had died.  They will see if he is microchipped, and contact the owner if so.  They were very kind.   He was a lovely cat, grey and white.  He must have died very quickly.  So sorry to be the bearer of bad news 😞 The vet is Medivet in Beckenham, tel: 0208 650 2003.
    • Watching my cats over the years with foxes, I've found that foxes have totally ignored them. One exception was when a young fox hadn't seen my cat and found himself eye to eye with my cat at a distance of 1 metre. There was a stand off but the fox blinked first and my cat chased him out of the garden. So proud of her. I believe when foxes have attacked cats, the cat has been vulnerable  - old, young, ill wounded.
