Builder recommendations - brickwork stitching, pointing.


KidKruger

Recommended Posts

I've a builder that's disappeared on me, having raked-out brickwork for pointing and prepared a small area for stitching (small area). There's a also a couple of newly-fitted double-glazed windows needing sealing from outside.

There's also a bit of external waste pipe work required (bath/shower/sink outlets).

I've already paid a plasterer to straighten/flatten a stud wall ("you never said you wanted the stud wall vertical").


Any recommendations from EDF members with a posting history would be appreciated.


Reminds me why previously I've done all my own work - might not get a perfect finish, but the job gets done.

    • The BBC is one of the finest, if not the finest, broadcasters in the world.  They have been admired by many across the world for their journalism.  There have been numerous arrests since their recent expose on convenience shops that cover ups for criminals - money laundering, contraband,  illegal workers and the like. By no means perfect and some of what they have done in the modern world is questionable - the website often comes across as tabloid or sensationalist, as do some of their documentaries, and at times it is full of low grade game shows, fly on the wall etc which bring the punters and money, including overseas, in but is not quality TV.  In their desperation for 'balance' they've given too much air time and credibility to some more extreme views, which contributed to Brexit and some of the rise in right wing parties.  I wish they'd say 'the convicted criminal' every time they talk about Yaxley Lenon. The programme was clumsy, why it didn't go through proper clearance including the lawyers, I don't know.  But it created zero stir at the time. Zero.  And had no impact on the election, so Trump has no case.  I hope they don't cave in like many of the US corporations and media.  Oh and well done to South Park using the small p*nis defence in ridiculing him. What I expect is as the Beeb is pretty centrist in it;s reporting in riles some of those who thrive on the toxic populism we have seen since Trump mark 1 and Brexit.  How sad.
