Hi

I used a builder recommended off the forum, Dave 07932505589. I asked him to give me advice on a property I'm currently in the process of buying. The survey report came back as very damning but Dave fully checked the property and provided a very responsible quote for fixing the problem.


Thanks Miranda

Whatever you do go for a company that will guarantee it, without that the work is essentially worthless. We bought a place where they got their "mate builder" to do the damp proofing, it failed and they had no recourse so had to discount the house by the amount it was going to cost us to fix it.
Where is the damp? There are lots of people on here that have had experiences, so it might be worth mentioning it before calling in the professionals (I had varied experiences including a total fantasist). For instance I live on a hill and had a mystery spot. Turns out that my first floor next door neighbour had pierced a pipe leading to a radiator and a slow leak was coming into my chimney stack and underneath my kitchen floor.

    • I also wonder if all this, recently events and so many u turns is going to also be the end of Kier Starmer.
    • And I replied: Mandelson and Trump have much in common. They are both shallow, vulgar and vain. They both fetishise wealth and power, irrespective of who holds it or how it was accumulated. They were both close friends and associates of the late Jeffrey Epstein and have moved in the same circles, as Ghislaine Maxwell’s address book allegedly confirms. Recognising another who is utterly transactional and lacking in a moral compass, there’s every chance of “Petie” fitting right in Mar-a-Largo. That Starmer couldn’t anticipate that Mandelson’s past behaviour would be problematic just proves how inept this government is.
    • Can't agree with that because he is a superb communicator - a really smart and  smooth talker. He studied PPE at Oxford and was communications director for Labour for many years.  Setting aside the "minor"  indiscretions during his time in government he has all the smoothness and ability to flatter Trump without appearing obsequious. Plus he can manage and exploit  Trump’s ego. He is highly polished socially, comfortable in elite circles, skilled at making personal connections. He can flatter and disarm, which is a useful tactic with Trump, who responds well to personal respect and praise. As a former EU Trade Commissioner and Cabinet minister, Mandelson understands international relations, trade, and diplomacy. He knows how to frame issues in terms of “wins” that Trump could claim credit for. I honestly hope that he survives.  
    • He is toast  he should never have been appointed  and starmer flannelling about all of this shows exceptionally poor judgement  a disgrace all around
