Building help required for ED resident

Hello EDF


I am posting on behalf of a friend. She had a stroke last year and has been in hospital since. She is due to go home soon for the first time since last November but some essential work needs to be carried out before she can return. We are looking for local companies who can help with the following and ideally turn it around in 4 to 6 weeks. It does not need to be one company, we are happy to manage multiple business/tradespeople. I suspect this is going to be tricky to find at the moment, but the EDF is also great for recommendations, so you never know. Here are the jobs we need help with


1 ? Knock together an existing bathroom and WC to create a single tiled bathroom. Approx finished size 2.5m x 2.5m

2 ? Reposition one door (block and make good the old position) and make another door frame wider ? hang two new doors

3 ? Make good an existing kitchen. Change worktops, cupboard doors, box a few things in, maybe add new sink. Plumb in new Washer Dryer and Dishwasher

4 ? Redecoration ? Clean and prep walls then re-paint Hall, Living/Dining room, Kitchen, Stairs, Landing, 2 x bedrooms, Small Office

5 - Some additional carpentry/handy-person jobs (about 2 days worth)


Very keen to see if anyone has any recommendations

Many thanks


Robin

    • Planning permission for the new Tesco Express on the old Poundland site, on Lordship Lane has now been granted. It was granted on the 14th October.  Tesco’s will have an ATM, which we need in East Dulwich. 
    • So for the vast, vast majority of people their internet is access via wires (or fibre) supplied by openreach, virgin or one of the smaller providers like community fibre so there is a physical medium involved. However you can buy off-the-shelf 5G Routers that have a SIM card slot.  Put a 5G SIM card in it and you can then access the internet from your home devices via 5G.  Imagine hot-spotting your phone and sharing it.  Effectively that's what your doing. Rather than buy one, 3 (and I think EE) allow you to take out a contract for a 5G SIM and the router for around £20-25 a month. Speeds won't be as fast but I get around 80 gig bits download speed and it holds up fine for us. Thus the mobile providers gain a foothold in the "broadband" market. 3 offer a no-quibble 30 day guarantee so you can try it out and if you find your signal isn't strong or reliable enough you can take it back for no charge.
    • Me too, now and then it would be down to the exchange and an issue there.  Comparing what I have had done in the last 15 or so years with them, friends have had more issues with Sky, Virgin etc than I have ever had!  I moved to fibre a while ago with them, and, 'touchwood', everything has been great.  
    • Very happy to give another recommendation for Dave - he did a super job on our bedroom recently fitting underlay and carpet. Really great finish and very reasonably priced plus a lovely guy!
