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.)

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • 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!
