Roofer and carpenter recommendation

Recommended Posts

We can't praise Nick Follett of Abbey Restoration enough (M: 07966285679). We had trouble with our gutters and he came out within a day and was actually up on our roof fixing it before we knew he'd arrived. He cleared the blockage, which had been causing huge problems, quickly and cheaply. We gave him the job of repairing our back roof and chimney, which another company had told us we would need scaffolding for. Nick said nonsense and fixed it all by ladder.


And Eddie, Abbey's carpenter, made a great job of putting in new oak worktops in our kitchen, with a perfect join and no wobble. He also fixed proper inset bolts and ball catches onto the (warped) retractable double doors in our living room arch, making them straight for the first time in seven years - not a job we thought could be done successfully. Both efficient, polite, reliable workers operating to a very high standard. Strongly recommended.

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
