O'BRIEN Building Services HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Recommended Posts

We are expat Aussies and bought a lovely old - but very dilapidated - Georgian house in Camberwell two and a half years ago. Since then, we have worked in stages, slowly bringing the place back to life, starting from a dark and dingy basement (now a light and airy one bedroom flat) right up to the fourth floor Victorian manse (now with revitalised bathroom and two bedrooms and the three floors in between, from electrics and wooden floors to painting and decorating the stairs. In all this time, we have worked with just one builder, Paul O'Brien, who has been in the local building business for four decades. Paul works with his son, Charlie, and together they provide all building services, from carpentry and specialist restoration of laven plaster to painting and decorating. They work closely with trade colleagues when electrics or specialist plumbing are needed. For these two men, nothing is too difficult, no problem insurmountable. They work creatively, honestly, punctually and are meticulous cleaning up during works. Most importantly, every time we have embarked on another round of works, their bills have been fair and always on budget. We are still working on our lovely old house - and they are still with us when we need them, step by step, bit by bit. We cannot recommend their work highly enough and would like to thank them publicly too for their work. Paul O'Brien 07836597890

I have a folder full of before and after shots of our house and would happily upload them or provide them as references.

    • Police are responsible for speed cameras, often these only go up after a serious incident or two. If speeding was decriminalised and went to local authorities to enforce then our roads would be safer as there would be far less speeding.   https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/enforcement-20mph-zones-local-roads
    • Never understood why there are not more speed cameras on Lordship Lane and the surrounding area - not sure what happened here exactly, but given the damage to the front of the vehicle as a result of the impact of the traffic light, it seems very unlikely that this person was driving slowly.
    • I am always really surprised by the glowing reviews of Franklins. Not sure whether it was once very good, and so it is just somewhere that is now remembered as that and thought of fondly by those who have known it since its opening all those years ago? As someone who has lived in the area for a few years now, and having tried it a few times (mostly as a result of the positive reviews), I have always been pretty disappointed. The food has always been average for the price point, and last time we visited we waited about 40 minutes to place an order. Hopefully whoever buys it can make improvements - it would be great to have a reliable pub on the lane that serves good food (similar to the Kerfield or Camberwell Arms, etc.)!
