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

    • How long will it take Thames Water to sort out the small river flowing down Lordship Lane from around North Cross Road towards Goose Green?  Get ready for some serious road works and disruption.
    • So, on Saturday, we suddenly had a leak through on to our bedroom ceiling, with water falling onto our bed. In a panic, we messaged friends to try to find a reliable plumber who would be able to help. My oh my, did we need help. One of our friends suggested Nico; she had been a client of his for a while and recommended him very highly. Nico was unable to come during the day but said that he would visit our home in the evening. The flow of water had stopped but we kept our fingers crossed that he would turn up and that he was affordable. Nico arrived just when he said that he would, climbed up into the loft and then he explained what he was going to do and why. We agreed, the source of the leak was sorted and he gave us advice about how we could make sure that it was unlikely to happen again.  The price of the work was totally reasonable and we are genuinely grateful for his intervention. We intend to use him again and would always recommend him. Aside from his highly professional behaviour, his social skills are outstanding, he is a kind and thoughtful man. Dear Nico, thank you.
    • Are there any Physical Activity (Bronze) approved providers near East Dulwich? Any ideas would be highly appreciated!      
    • The failure of the council year on year to prevent the corporate take-over of our precious public space is appalling. The consultation process this year is deliberately dumbed down and takes the form of a survey with a range of anodyne tick boxes designed to give the appearance of a 'consultation' without requiring any hard comment or information that could be used to oppose the survey.  It may be possible to get some answers from Gala themselves so I will try to do that and post here if anything forthcoming.
