Excellent Handyman recommendation

There's already a lot of positive feedback for Victor (aka 007 Handyman) on the forum and I know he has his own thread too, but I thought I'd also put a personal recommendation out there.


The alcove area in our kitchen was pretty grim, it had several layers of paint from the previous occupants that would rub off whenever you tried to clean the area. It just wasn't hygienic or aesthetically pleasing to say the least!

Victor and his son Carl have totally transformed the area for us and it is now a pleasure to cook in! They gave us recommendations on tiles and wipe-clean aluminium sheeting to the top of the area for ease of cleaning. The tiling was finished to a high standard and they also fitted side panels (using off-cuts of wood that we had spare) which are very useful as a guard to stop food falling down and also to rest utensils on. They finished the job off with beading instead of leaving us with bare tile edges.

Quite a transformation as I'm sure you'll agree! :-)


While they were at ours they also repaired our ceiling where the plasterboard was missing, and cleared up all their mess too. All this in one day, very impressed.


We were very pleased with the very professional job at a competitive price and Victor's friendliness, can-do attitude, knowledge and suggestions along the way.


We've used Victor and his sons before and will do so in the future as we continue to be impressed by their work.


Cheers


Tara

    • Another strong recommendation from me from Peckham Rye area. Paul sent Damian to sort out our tripping sockets. We’d had another electrician come and try to fix it a couple of weeks earlier who was not good, but Damian was extremely thorough and methodical in diagnosing the issue and fixing it. He tested every socket to make sure the problem was sorted. He arrived bang on time and talked me through exactly what he was finding and how the problem had likely come about as he went. Very polite, friendly and excellent value for money. Wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if we need an electrician. Great team,  great service!

    • So have you never been in a house where the gas hob was turned on but not ignited?  You get a smell of gas,  You do not get an explosion when you light the flame.   You have to have a very high concentration of methane (over 4.4%)  for this to happen, the smell of the gas would be obvious half way down the street.  They add mercaptans to natural gas to give it that smell at very low concentrations.   Gas explosions happen once in a blue moon, in places like residential homes in the basements where, if unchecked, a leak can get up to explosive concentrations.   Back to my original comment about Bunsen burners.  You'd got 30 kids in a classroom but no explosions.   The establishment of Corgi (now Gas Safe) and the compulsory annual testing of boilers and cookers was mainly due to the relatively high number of deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning from faulty appliances and blocked flues in rented properties. I don't expect the OP to test it themselves, I would, but that his my decision.  But you may get Natural Grid to do this free of charge if you ask nicely. I thought the video was hilarious.  The guy shouts don't do this yourself, call in help.

    • Or maybe let @malumbu come round and test it for you, thus potentially getting two birds with one stone 🤣
