recommendations following our house renovations...

Hi, having just gone through a big house renovation I'd like to pass on some good trademen we have used.


Builders: Valdex; very good, came in on budget and early even tho we added more jobs along the way; happy to show the work they've done for us (gutted and redid 2 bathrooms; replaced water pipes from street all through the house; new boiler; new electrics; underfloor heating on ground floor; moved kitchen from one end of the house to the other.


Bathrooms: Bells on Lordship Lane, fantastic, after looking at CP Hart and 2 others I found Bells were able to supply most items at a good price and quickly! Very helpful and great with all my questions.


Kitchen counter: again Bells on Lordship Lane. They had the best price by far for quartz counters. Again Marc was very helpful & friendly, highly recommend going to them.


Sliding doors: from SKG in Bromley. They were great, friendly, helpful and did great job installing these amazing doors from Sunflex, made in Germany.


Material Plans: tile distributer based in Forest Hill. Very friendly & helpful too with supplying us with gorgeous tiles from Royal Mosa


Porcelanosa: gorgeous tiles from the showroom in Croydon (Purley Way); Gloria was very helpful!


The Natural Wood Floor Company: again another great company, fantastic product and a very good price.


Feel free to message me if you'd like more details but wanted to share this as so many people were so helpful when I was doing all my initial research.

    • 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!
