Highly Recommended contractor needed to start job asap

Recommended Posts

I am looking for a contractor to take on a renovation job in my flat: wall knocked down, new bathrooms fitted, sanding all floorboards, electrics work etc.


I have architect plans ready and need a reasonable quote. They will need to be used to working to detailed architect plans.


The contractor I was going to use is now unable to do the job and I'm working to a tight deadline.


Can anyone recommend anyone who does work to a high quality finish?


Thankyou!!!

I've been working on a job that has also had a couple of Polish guys working at the same place. Both the Polish guys were complaining how lazy some of their fellow countrymen are.

Total bollocks again I'm afraid. Loads of lazy, jaded, moaning builders out there for whom its always somebody else's fault. Nothing wrong with the OP's request. Plenty decent builders would do that job as part if a bundle. See attached for not unreasonable results?

Because it doesn't fit with my plan to work less and moan about the world owing me a favour??...whilst scratching my arse over a luke warm pint in the Castle?

Thankyou Stephen and 'localhandyman' I will pm you. Grace3 - I don't understand what you mean by 'expectations'. I was outlining the things I need done- I will pay a fair wage: if someone chooses not to do that they don't need to respond.
There is some weirdness on this forum sometimes. People post requests for recommendations then others who seem to have no interest in the thread other than to pass some sort of comment, any sort comment, clutter things up with a load of inanity. Do us a favour and use the other areas of the forum if you want a bit of banter or flirting. Polite request.

    • Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering.  This is blooming genius. It's actually my partner who has the biggest issue with buying in plastic so I will have to hide the wrappers from him!
    • I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.
    • William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
