Reliable and affordable builder recommendations please

Hello all,


We have just been informed by our builder that he can no longer do our project so are now looking for a new team. We need to completely refurbish a Victorian terraced house in North Dulwich - wiring, central heating, plastering, all rooms and bathrooms, kitchen, roof and other bits and bobs. We are looking for someone who can take on the entire project rather than individual tradesmen. We were looking to start in September if that's relevant.


Thank you in advance!

We used Emerald & Clay and they did a great job.


We had to completely rebuild the back of the house which was subsiding. We put in a new kitchen and opened up the back of the house to the garden. We also put in a new bathroom, re-wired, re-plumbed and re-plastered the house, put in a new boiler and outside they landscaped the garden for us.


They project managed the build very well and stuck to budgets.


Will is the contact. His email address is [email protected] and his mobile is 075 8864 8868.

I've also used Emerald & Clay recently and they were great. I had an old cement patio that was badly cracked and didn't drain properly. E&C dug the whole lot out, installed a new drainage system and layed a new patio using stone i'd chosen (which they then sourced).


They even painted my fence and jet-washed the decking to make the job have a quality finish in the end.


I didn't have to do anything and the whole job was completed in 5 days. The guys were great - very friendly and it came in under budget.


Will was the same contact I'd found from a previous recomendation on here...

Hi,


Another recommendation from Emerald and Clay (Will, Mark and team) here. I'm based in Peckham/Camberwell SE5 and have just had my ground floor flat completely renovated by them - new internal configuration, extension, new bathroom, new kitchen, ceilings raised, floors lowered, new plumbing, electrics, the works. Extremely high quality work, which they take pride in. Always kept me informed. I completely trusted them. Would highly recommend talking to them.


Mark. PM me if any questions.

    • How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't be just be struck off, or the equivalent?
    • There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm
