Just wanted to post about TJ Builders who recently completed some exterior decorating and repair work on the outside of my house.

I got a recommendation for them on this site and decided to go with their quote after some ridiculously high ones (also recs from this site!). They were great, easy to deal with, reliable and clean and tidy. Hassan and Sam were the traders working for me and I was very happy to give them keys to my flat and leave them to it. Took longer to complete than originally quoted but they were hampered by some pretty stormy weather at times.

They've just finished and the before and after is quite something! Am happy to send photos if people want to see.

Hi all,


Had a couple of PM's regarding bad experiences with TJ Builders so thought I would update. Hassan and Sam have a universal thumbs up for decorating and small jobs but for larger works might be best to steer clear.

Wouldn't want people to have a bad experience because of my recommendation.


Thanks

A note of warning on using TJ Builders - we had a terrible experience with them: they abandoned our bathroom job half finished having pestered us for money throughout the job (which hadn't been agreed in advance). Fortunately we had only paid about 70% when they walked out, but it has taken months to get other firms in to fix and redo their work.


They botched the tiling (many chips up the edging of the metro tiles - clearly cut using the wrong tools) and we had to get a plumber in to redo some of the piping as it was so bad (visible sink feeds set at totally different levels...). They also failed to consult us before tiling the floor, though we had discussed talking it over before they did it - so tiles are now the wrong way around. Plus they set the shower so low it touched our heads! (I'm 5"8.)

    • It's such an uneven provision, I live just west of E Dulwich towards Herne Hill/Dulwich Village and there are four Post Office counters within 10 mins walk max. They are all in local shops and provide a great service. 
    • Wanted to come on and do a review for DRJ Builders as I know how hard it is to find good quality and reliable builders in the area! David O'Brien and DRJ Builders are more than that - they are an absolutely brilliant building firm who we can highly recommend. We used them to do a side return extension, loft extension and full house renovation in 2016. They did such a great job, we have just used them again to add on a new rear extension to the ground floor in 2025. David is great to work with from start to finish and has a fantastic team of tradespeople who always deliver a very high standard of work. Would highly recommend them. You can get David on 07960 938621.
    • They do have other lockers where you can drop off parcels, as well as some shops who will take them. If you use the Royal Mail app, or website, you can also arrange for collection of parcels from your house. The service is actually pretty good (and a lot easier than going to the post office). There are a lack of Royal Mail lockers though. Would be good to get some more - perhaps one on North Cross road? They don't need to be outside the Post Office necessarilly.
    • In a similar  vein, are there any charity shops actually taking donations at the moment? ( after the usual post  Christmas chucking out phase, noone would take my things last week, they had too much already).
