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.

    • Does anyone know what happened to the St Christopher's hospice tree guys who used to have a plot at the Plough? Have they moved somewhere else?  Or alternatively, does anyone know where I get a tree where some of the money goes to a charity.  Am aware that all the local schools have already had their fairs so that's not an option.  Thanks all
    • Malumbu, you're absolutely right. The vet bills due to attacks on neighbouring cats are certainly not insignificant at all. The wounds can even lead to fatalities. I always urge clients, neighbours & community posters to target the root cause, as opposed to skirting around the underlying & often persistent issue. Connecting with local organisations like Celia Hammond Animal Trust, Cats Protection or Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) initiatives is a longterm solution. This is heighlighted, although briefly, under Improving Community Wellbeing. - I'd also like to highlight that if ever unsure whether the culprit is intact, owned or feral, & are hesitant to report, just in case it's a neighbour's neutered cat, you can call upon a Scan Angel or our team at TWB to check for a microchip first. - If the culprit does happen to be a neighbour's neutered cat, there are a variety of solution; both immediate & longterm that I would be more than happy to help with. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected]
    • Also wanted to leave my recommendation for Lukasz. He came completely on time, was highly efficient, did everything we asked and more without charging extra and left the place immaculate. A real gem - we will definitely use him again! 
    • Not sure if you added Tomd that have not been neutered terrorising other cats in the area.  Happened round here.  Would have been tempted to castrate the tom if I'd caught it.  Water pistol was not a deterrent.  Vets bills due to various attacks on other moggies was not insignificant
