Builder Recommendation - Refurbishments


Manderjee

Recommended Posts

Hi,


I would like to recommend Kevin from Y & J Builders, he recently completed a complex refurbishment in my 1930s house, including the following:


- Total refurbishment of living/dining room area, including removal of fireplaces, complete re-plastering and decorating throughout, new tiling in fireplaces, restoration of parquet flooring (including sanding and varnishing) and electrical re-wiring.

- Restoration of front porch area, including removal of uPVC outer door and re-tiling floor area.

- New toilet fitted to old 1930's pipework; new tiling to floor; re-decorating and new skirtings.

- Impromptu roof repairs to fix damp problem caused by leak from valley roof.

- Additional bits such as replacing floorboards, removing stair carpet, repairs to plumbing in water cistern.


He uses excellent skilled tradesmen and is a hard worker, going over and above the original remit to achieve maximum results at a reasonable price. He was present throughout the works and was committed to seeing the job done to the original specifications. No problem that came up was too much for him and he addressed the solutions willingly and without complaint.


I would be happy to respond to private messages for further details, or for people to view the results.


As far as I understand his website & email are being re-designed at the moment but he replies promptly to phone enquiries.


Kevin (Y & J Builders): 07581 166046


Cheers,

Manda

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
