Hi Andy,

I can highly recommend Jovaner, who I've recommended here before, and who has done lots of work for me over the years. He is currently doing my bathroom as we speak! He can plumb, tile, plaster and decorate to an incredibly high standard, and is probably the hardest working person I have ever met. He will also be able to get someone to take care of the wiring.  I have extremely high standards - have a look at my company West & Reid to see the level of kitchens we make :) and Jovaner always meets and goes beyond my expectations. There aren't many people as multi-talented as him, and very few with such high standards, and when it comes to doing bathrooms that's exactly what you need. 

He will also work on a day rate (usually £260 per day I think) which, when you have someone who works as hard as him, is by far the fairest and best value way to work imo. If you want to have a look at my bathroom or ring for a chat feel free to call me (07745553232).

If you are wondering why I'm going to so much trouble to recommend him it's simply because he's so good, and every time he does a new job I am reminded of how good he is. But he constantly undersells himself, underprices his work, and has such attention to detail and such high standards that he rarely earns what he deserves for the work he does! 

Happy to chat if that helps,

Malcolm

Hi Andy 

if you are still looking for a builder for a bathroom refit, I can recommend Steve, who recently installed a new Japanese toilet for me. I was going to get a complete bathroom refit when my dad moved in with me, after he had a stroke. If you are still looking, call Steve. He’s a lovely guy, very helpful and thoughtful.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
