Excellent carpenter recommendation

Recommended Posts

Hi all,


For anyone looking for an excellent carpenter, I would like to recommend Crawshaw Carpenters, who have just installed fitted wardrobes for us. See http://www.crawshawcarpenters.co.uk


Billy was excellent from day one, promptly putting together a quote and providing useful suggestions when I didn't have my mind quite made up on exactly what I wanted.


The process of having them fitted was completely painless - he was unfailingly friendly and polite, got on with the job efficiently, and each day left then room he was working on clean and tidy. He made everything in his workshop and assembled on site, which I suppose helped with that. I was also pleased that that meant not having to listen to too much sawing!


He didn't have loud music blaring out (which I've had from people in the past), and sometimes we even forgot he was here - he was just getting on with the job! That was important to me, as I didn't want the kids disturbed at naptime!


I'm really pleased with my wardrobes, which I think look great and make wonderful of use of the space.


Oh, and not unimportantly, he was really reasonably priced!


Do get in touch with him if you need a carpenter. I have used other carpenters recommended on this forum in the past, and while they have been fine, I would definitely ask Billy again if we have any future jobs requiring his skills.

    • Thanks for taking the trouble to do the calculation.  To be honest, it’s never occurred to me to report it online.  I’ll have to look into it.  I’ve just spoken to the ‘helpline’ and, after listening to ten minutes of some, admittedly, not too disagreeable jazz music, eventually got through to the call centre.  After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing, during which the operator was clearly reciting from a script, the essential question of why I continue to be billed by the RV method, despite their insistence on fitting a meter three years ago, went unresolved.  At first they couldn’t confirm whether I had a meter at all (not their department) but then agreed that I do have one but that it’s ’inactive’ (despite clearly recording usage as detailed above). I was told to contact the ‘meter department’ separately on a different number (Mon-Fri only) and was then asked if I wanted to sign up for various ‘pensioner’ benefits, none of which I understood (probably because I am a pensioner) before being asked to provide ‘feedback’, which I politely declined.  Looking forward to listening to some more jazz on Monday morning though.
    • That would be 78.231 m3, that is 78,231 liters.  The average water consumption per person in the UK is around 141 liters per day I believe.  So I'd say you're doing very well 👍 Have you tried to report your reading online?
    • Apart from potentially saving money (which TBF is more likely if there are fewer people living in your home) it is better for the environment to have a  water meter,  as you have an incentive to use less water. But roll on the re-nationalisation (is that a word?) of the water companies, before our green and pleasant land is covered with raw sewage. And so that the money from our water bills goes to improve the infrastructure rather than lining the pockets of already rich people. Vote Green! Ooops sorry, that's another thread.
