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 think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
