Builders- need a recommendation from recent work

Recommended Posts

Hi all


I trawled through the trades section - but I really wanted to get everyone's recent experience if excellent for a builder they have used recently. I will be renovating a home that will probably require a loft extension and possibly a side return/ a build ontop of kitchen room something along the lines of this. Along with a totally interior refurb skimming painting maybe electrics etc


A kitchen and bathroom refit - basically a whole house project. Can anyone honestly recommend someone who will do an excellent job not charge the earth and will complete the work as quickly as can be ?


Many thanks in advance for your responses!

Paul O'Brien (07836 597890) has just done a great job for me on a refurbishment and I can highly recommend him - he took on the full works and got it all done very well. He took real care, and only takes on one job at a time, so I had his complete attention while he was working for me.

    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
    • It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.
    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
