Recommending a plasterer (and plumber)

Recommended Posts

Just wanted to recommend Micky Lawless, a local plaster who's done a few jobs for us now (skimming ceilings, walls etc). He's a lovely guy, very professional and has always done a great job (not to mention the fact that he's cleaned up so well that place is actually tidier than when he started). He can be reached at [email protected] and 07930 678989.


While we're at it Pete Bennison is a great local plumber and gas installer - I had to call him out a short notice today to install a new cooker but in the past he's done many jobs for us including fitting radiators and a new boiler, indeed I think I originally saw him recommended on here when we first moved to the area in 2008. He can be reached at 07788 412880.

I'd also like to recommend Micky Lawless. He's done a couple of jobs for us, both at our last address and our current address, and has we have been very impressed with his work both times. He is extremely professional, and very personable, and has always been available to come out at very short notice.

I'd like to second Pickle and GoldenApe's recommendations of Pete Bennison. He's serviced our boiler a few times and is very professional and trustworthy. He also came out at very short notice to sort out a plumbing emergency for which I'm extremely grateful.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
