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.

    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided. 
    • does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
    • MaryT, I’ve contacted the Dulwich Hill councillors several times in recent years, always copying them both in. I have never had an acknowledgment from Jon Hartley (not even an automated response or out-of-office) nor had any response or engagement from him regarding the issue raised.   On each occasion, only Maggie Browning responded (she uses an out-of-office if she is away). The last time, I received no response from either for 3 months, until Maggie Browning emailed me to apologise for not responding and asking if the problem had been resolved.
    • The  Kwasi effect is being considered.
