Wallpaper hanger and painter needed


Recommended Posts

Is there anybody that can give me a quote to decorate a medium sized bedroom, need lining paper put and on all four walls, ceiling, door, skirting and one wall painted white. Another two walls painted a different colour and a feature wall with patterned paper. We have all the products so it is just the labour required. Please call me on 07547333593. Need this done as soon as possible. Thank you

WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT USE DANNY - HE IS INCOMPETENT AND DISHONEST. Unfortunately I did use him and the experience cost me ?550 plus permanent damage to an expensive floor.


I asked him to regrout around the edge of a bathroom - a very simple job. Without being asked to touch the floor, he covered it in grout, including filling expensive pewter inset tiles with grout. The tiles have been permanently badly scratched when getting the grout out even though done by a professional. Furthermore, he filled in parts of the floor in a different coloured grout (again, I stress, he was never asked to touch the floor which before he started on it was in perfect condition) - I have had to have the floor completely redone. Where he grounted around the edge of the bathroom, it was a total mess - big chunks of grout smeared everywhere. The professional who came to sort it out said "it was the worst job he had seen" and "it looked like a drunk had done it."


I asked Danny for money back - unfortunately I had paid him ?250 before realising the mess he had made because he left the entire floor covered in white grout dust wheich he said needed to be left there for 24 hours and which I would have to clean - he admitted it was his fault, he had done a bad job, and he would give me money back. That was around 2 months ago. Despite repested text exchanges and various excuses ("I've been away etc") and promises to pay, he has failed to get in touch or refund anything. I have had to pay ?300 to have the mess he made sorted out, and even then it will never look as nice as it did before because the floor has been so badly scratched removing the grout.


Danny also replaced door handles, leaving huge holes which he said he would come back to wood fill (he hasn't) and which don't open and close properly. VERY much regret having him do work at my house.

I would like to add my recommendation for Andy of Andyman. It was from the Forum that we originally got his contact details.


Andy and Richard worked in our house recently, redecorating our daughter?s bedroom. Excellent work, and all done with great care and attention.


It was a pleasure having them here and they?ll be back very soon to do other work.

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
