Someone to fix loft hatch/carpenter/loft ladder

Recommended Posts

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.

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
