I am having difficulties in finding a builder to replace an internal wall between kitchen and shower room. Have contacted 3 'Which approved builders- one never replied, the other visited on 16th  October and  still awaiting his estimate. The other was due a couple of weeks ago but his car broke down, rebooked for today but had calls saying that he has spent last 20 minutes driving around Barry/Goodrich/Landells Roads trying to park. Did not want to chance parking on yellow lines!  Parking around ED is now putting off contractors.  He is going to give me an alternative date and I will move my car from my drive the night before so he can park there.

Need to find other reputable building companies willing to work in ED

Seems like "which approved" is worth nothing same as "check a trade" and "my builder" ... 

read between the lines ... How long you are waiting for the quote ? 🤐

And another builder always have bad luck with act of god etc ... 🥱🥱🥱

If I want a job as a builder you'll get a quote from me within 24 hours ... 

And I won't be moaning about parking or broken down vehicle ...

His car didn't break down he was at another job 

He wasn't driving around to find car park near you because he was driving to work (his work)

((I work in this area throughout the year and never had an issue with parking ))

    • 1 and 3: rent is determined by supply and demand, not input costs. 2: foreign landlords are subject to UK tax for UK property rentals. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/non-resident-landord-guidance-notes-for-letting-agents-and-tenants-non-resident-landlords-scheme-guidance-notes/what-the-non-resident-landlords-scheme-is 4: paying squalid hotels to house asylum seekers short term is fantastically expensive. This £200m is a relatively small amount (compared to the housing market as a whole) and will lead to a small increase in the amount of short term housing stock owned by councils. 5 and 6: because that's where the money is.   You didn't mention the other "solution" proposed by various NIMBYs: oppose infill housing projects like the one discussed here and attempt to reduce their size wherever possible based on disingenuous arguments.
    • How curious! Two of mine are flowering. Both are usually kept outside. The smaller one is budding all over. The larger one (with lighter green leaves) has a single, open flower. Both are now inside due to the freezing temperatures. 
    • Another recommendation for Iain and Paul at Oddbods. They have installed a shed base and built a new shed for me as well as removing an old boiler cupboard. I am very pleased with their work and they are also very efficient, friendly and excellent with their communication. I had an issue with the date of the shed delivery and Iain kindly moved his jobs around so it could be completed before Christmas. I have already asked them to quote for another job so would definitely recommend Oddbods!
