floor screed and ceiling

Hi,

We have had a very bad experience with a builder who started demanding money upfront and went way above his original quote. After paying him for work done so far we refuse to use him further as he won't provide a new quote for work that was originally quote at a lower price.


We are looking for honest builder who can complete the work that still needs doing please:

1) screed the floor in the main bedroom. (old screed has been removed, floor levelled and damp proof membrane laid (I think thats what it is)

2) level bedroom 2 as it appears uneven and sloping to party wall

3) repair ceiling and plaster to kitchen

4) before laying screed to main bedroom is it possible to hide radiator pipes as at present they run along the wall?

5) option of moving surface boxes (plug points) into the walls


I need all this work done before I can get the damp proofing done to the flat. I am on a tight schedule.


So recommend some one who can help with all this.


Thanks,

Kay

    • 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!
