Needed: Reliable, trustworthy builder/painter/decorator


Recommended Posts

Please can anyone recommend any of the above?

We need lots of work done but mainly small jobs from clearing a small loft space and putting a new back door in to general painting and decorating.

We also need new sash windows if anyone can recommend a good company which won't bankrupt us!

Thanks for your help,

Natalie

Nick Martin is wonderful at all kinds of woodwork and finishing and a dab hand at painting and decorating - we have used his experstise for years - his # is 07969 331 996


when out builders went bankrupt 85% though a job, he came in and sorted out the mess.

oops! now amended


Just to update - whilst we went on holiday, he laid an oak floor, retiled some of the bathroom, rebuilt and extended some victorian fitted cupboards to include shelves and fixed our bath leak. I rarely recomend anyone on here, but he is on speed dial!


thanks

We need someone to paint and decorate and fill some plaster cracks- all smallish jobs (e.g.small bathroom ceiling needs scraping and re painting, corner of living room needs repapering and painting) and some other small paint jobs- but we need it done quickly -!! Victorian house near Sainsburys / Dog Kennel hill.


Thanks

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
