Re: recommendation - not such a fantastic builder

Sadly, I was one of the people Julie recommended Will to, and I had a terrible experience.


We asked him to refit a bathroom, and he provided an excellent quote. However, he then sent someone else in to do the work - who made a complete hash of it.


When called to question about a long list of problems, Will refused to finish the job, or even to meet with me to discuss it.


We have since been to considerable expense to put things right. We have employed someone else (see my separate thread highly recommending Lee Barber) who, when investigating the work done by Will and his employee, found a mountain of rubbish under the new bath, along with a rotten wooden frame than was meant to support the bath, and every single plumbing joint was leaking. Some weren't even connected, so when the bath emptied, the water just sat on the floor underneath it!


I could go on to list a lot of other problems left by Will and his employee, but suffice to say that we endured a terrible experience, and wouldn't go near him with a barge pole in future.

Sorry, I should have made clear - the post I just cut and pasted above was about Prestige Property Services as previously recommended by Julie on a different thread. Thought you might appreciate a balanced view -

We are Abbey Flooring and we install and sand and seal all types of wooden floors. We have worked in Dulwich and do have some recommendations on the Forum and we have also done many jobs through the Natural Wood Floor Company (wandsworth 0208 871 9771) and they recommend us on a regular basis.

Our cost to install and seal an Engineered floor is ?25 per square meter if the room is totally cleared. I would usually like to have a look at the job first but I hope that helps.

Another thumbs-up for the Natural Wood Floor Co. They are actually closer to Wandsworth Town than Battersea for what its worth. We bought engineered oak flooring from them last year. One year on and it still looks amazing. They have a good range at reasonable prices. Slightly more expensive than the cheapest online options but reasonable nonetheless - and at least you know exactly what you are getting. They also allow you to return unopened packets - which saved us a packet when it turned out our builder had over-estimated the amount needed by about 40%. Not sure whether they do installation. I think they do though - or will know people that do.

    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
