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.

    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
