Highly recommend local carpenter Doug Hathaway

Recommended Posts

All,

It was through this forum that I heard about a carpenter who has been highly recommended here: Doug Hathaway. Today he re-hung an internal door at my flat & replaced some broken sockets.

He kept to his word in terms of timing, quote etc. I found him to be very reliable and he did a brilliant job.

His number is 07748 151682. [email protected]

I (along with a number of others here) can highly recommend him.


Thanks Doug and thank you East Dulwich forum, for coming up trumps yet again!

I too would like to add a recommendation for Doug who has just built and painted some fabulous fitted wardrobes for us. As others have said, he is hard-working and reliable and does an excellent job taking real pride in his work. He fitted out the interiors of the wardrobes exactly to our spec, to a really high standard and was very patient with our not always prompt decision making! The finish is excellent and it was well worth paying him to paint them too. His pricing is reasonable and clearly broken down and he stuck exactly to his quote. We found him to be totally trustworthy as he did a lot of the work while we were away and is a very nice, friendly guy.

I don't have any pictures of the wardrobes to attach now but would be happy to take and send them if you pm me.

Like the many other posts, we contacted Doug after seeing the EDF recommendations. He built 3 wardrobes for us which look great. He was punctual, clean and very trustworthy (he completed the work while we were on holiday which was brilliant). He gave us some good ideas for the doors and internal layout and built exactly as requested. We have 2 small children and he just got on with the job, was easy to have around and considerate during "nap" times! Further he helped us with some additional carpentry work (skirting boards, picture rails) which looks superb.

    • I’m not sure home delivery will replace physical supermarkets. I got the impression that they’re generally loss- making for the retailers and they’d much prefer to encourage customers back to the shops. I read somewhere that the typical Ocado order was around £100 but costs Ocado £120 to fulfill. It works for M&S because they have roped Ocado into a contract where Ocado carry the bulk of the loss.
    • Ocado stopped sourcing from Waitrose a few years ago. They now source from M&S and general brands. Waitrose have their own delivery service now. I don't know how well served SE22 is by it. Ocado offers for new customers are, or certainly were, really good, particularly in the run up to Christmas. I think I got 20%/15%/10% up to a maximum of £100 spend off my first three deliveries with no delivery charge or commitment to sign up for further deliveries. There wasn't a time limit, IIRC, so it was a great way of restocking heavy store cupboard basics and stuff for the freezer.
    • Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?
    • As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed.
