Any recommendation for builder?


Recommended Posts

Does anyone have a recommendation for a general builder, capable of completely refurbishing a bathroom - plumbing, tiling, painting, carpentry work? We'd like someone who can work to high quality and produce a modern finish. We've found it fairly difficult (since May) to find someone who can quote for this fairly substantial piece of work and we're eager to start work soon, so any recommendations would help. We've specced pretty much everything and just need someone to do a good job, or rather provide a quote first.


Thanks a million in advance.

I contacted several builders regarding the renovation of my bathroom. Only two of them turned up to provide a quote. One of them was Robert from Aqua-Build. We felt that he really listened to what we wanted, so we chose him to undertake the work. Our bathroom has just been completed and I know now that we made the right choice.


Our bathroom is an awkward shape but Robert made suggestions that we had not thought of. He was very good at providing guidance and explanation. His team worked quickly and they seemed to achieve alot in a short frame of time. Our bathroom used to be the 'problem' room in our flat but now it looks beautiful. I think Robert is a talented builder who takes pride in his work. I am sure most builders could install a bathroom satisfactorily but Aqua-Build are excellent. Most of all, they are very reliable people to work with and they have a great attitude and work ethic.


Goosey-goosey, I am happy for you to PM me if you have any questions. Good luck with your project. I hope you will eventually be as happy with your new bathroom as I am with mine.

    • Couldn't the sanctuary have taken the female as well? That's very sad 😭 
    • One of the main reasons these goslings don't survive is because once they leave their nest on the island, they are unable to return to it's safety because of the height of the artificial bank - it's basically a brick wall, with no natural slope.  So they & their parents are left to try to fend off predators either in the water or on the outer bank - literally sitting ducks. I think in the last 10 years I've only seen a handful of goslings survive to maturity, and that's with two broods per year, often six, eight, ten goslings per brood.  It's very sad, and just needs the council / parks to remove some bricks to create a more natural sloped bank so they can access the safety of the island. I've asked many times, and hoped some of the Gala "biodiversity" funds could be used, but to no avail.  There are signs all around the lake stating dogs should be on a lead, but many owners seem to miss them, and don't appear to be concerned that the wildfowl are visibly & audibly disturbed by their presence, or aware how much damage their dogs can do. A few years back a loose dog attacked a male Egyptian goose and injured it so badly that it had to be taken to a sanctuary. Egyptian geese mate for life, so the female has remained alone ever since.
    • I agree that selling items online can be a bit of a faff but the ebay app makes  it easier these days to put photos on, set a postage rate, descriptions, etc. I’ve been buying and selling on eBay for quite a while now and it can be hit and miss with the selling and it does take a bit of time, buying the packaging, taking it to the post office (which I use to send everything I sell) but it can be a way to make a bit of spare cash.  I sell bits on eBay for myself and for a charity I support. I’ve been selling bits on this forum for my charity but this is a bit hit and miss as well.   If the OP pms me maybe I might be able to help and sell her clothes for her (and me) 😀        
    • 80pc of the value comes from 20pc of the inventory. I'd suggest running through it and putting into 3 heaps: A - quality branded. Depending on how much there is in this category, you might then be able to find someone for a 'split the profits' offer.  C - un-sellable by charity (marked, damaged). To a "clothes by the KG" service. B - everything else. Donate to charity.
