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.

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods.

Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
