Recommendation for builder/decorator - Sky High Builders


Lakw

Recommended Posts

Hello, 

I live in SE26 and we recently had our victorian terraced house refurbished by Sky High Builders.  We had 2 x bathrooms refitted (including knocking through a wall to the airing cupboard to make one bathroom larger), substantial plastering work, new roof on the back part of the house and full redecoration throughout.  We also had new French windows and bathroom window using a joiner recommended by Sky High.

I can't recommend Sky High highly enough.  We were living in the house throughout the work (2 adults, 2 primary aged kids) and given the amount of work we had done it had the potential to be incredibly stressful.  But Marven, the owner of Sky High, and his whole team are so friendly and considerate that it was never an issue.  The work took a few months (due to delivery issues of things we had ordered and unexpectedly needing a new roof due to a leak - not Sky High's fault) but we always knew what was happening and what was planned.  The quote was clear and accurate and we paid for each item as it was completed.  Full transparency & receipts on materials costs.  We paid a fair price, especially for the high quality of work we got.

Marven and his site manager Dave were both fantastic.  Marven came over regularly to inspect the site with us and go through any issues, which meant we didn't ever feel like we had to stress.  Dave kept things moving with the team day to day.  Everyone in the team was polite, friendly and professional.  Marven helped us enormously with some fab design ideas and layout suggestions. The quality of work is great and to be honest we were sad to see them go as they were so lovely to have around. Our house is transformed and a pleasure to come home to.  I would recommend Sky High to anyone in the area.

    • I do think that many social housing tenancies have terms written about flooring too.  They are often ignored but if you ask your local housing officer about that it could be worthwhile. I understand that you do not want to cause a fuss but if the noise from upstairs or nextdoor is unreasonable than you do not have to tolerate it.   The tenant next door might be a new tenant and it is worth their while to respect the regulations and be a good neighbour some people have just moved but have a secure tenancy. Others might be on a newer type of tenancy that is reviewed etc. My upstairs neighbours kids jump up and down from furniture onto the floor it is so freaking noisy and it gets on my last nerve but it is in usually done after 7am and before 9pm and some days it is quiet the noise is intermittent.  So at least I get a quiet night's sleep.   Which is a huge blessing.  To be fair we are not the quietest of homes either.  You are entitled to be able to have some peace in your home.  So don't allow others to ruin the enjoyment of having a lovely home.   Read the stuff in the Southwark website around environmental issues which I think explains reasonable noise etc.  If you don't follow it up it will never change.  Good luck 🤞 
    • I'll do an order from Lidl in Sydenham if you ask nicely 😁
    • I love Lidl, but that would be a rubbish site for it, and there is one a short bus ride away in Camberwell. Where I will be heading to get my Christmas lebkuchen ❤️
    • I’m due with my second child in January and have been reflecting that it’s a shame you don’t do NCT or Bump & Baby with your second. We have some wonderful friends we met at baby class that my daughter has known since she was born, and I’d love my second daughter to have the same. I can’t see that a winter babies whatsapp group has been started so if anyone would like to join one please drop me a DM and I’ll put one together (or let me know if one exists!) Kate x
