Looking for handyman/decorator


Bobbie

Recommended Posts

I am looking for a handyperson/decorator with experience of water proofing bathrooms to do some work on my one-bedroom flat in East Dulwich as follows:


1. Redoing water proofing on bathroom floor and retiling of bathroom/shower floor areas. Currently the bathroom is wetproofed with fibreglass which works but the floor slopes the wrong way, away from the shower so the floor needs to be sorted so it slopes the right way.

2. Replastering of bathroom ceiling and repainting of ceiling

3. General filling in of plaster cracks and repaint of several areas in flat

4. Other small jobs - Putting up metal splashback in kitchen, put down matting in entrance lobby, rehang a couple of cupboard doors, put in a peg to replace missing peg for cupboard shelf, putting up a couple of kitchen shelves


I'd like to get the work done in late August and am looking for a couple of quotes. If there are any handypersons/decorators who can help please contact me on [email protected].


Thank you.

I would recommend Raju (07931735875), he redecorated my flat and refitted and tiled my bathroom. I'm looking to have him back to do the second one. If it helps in any way, my neighbour saw him working in my flat, and he then did her bathroom. He is reliable, super tidy, full of ideas and you can leave keys with him. If you want to ask me anything, just let me know.

We have refurbished our last three houses, but we have never had a building experience where we were 100% happy with every aspect of the work, until HamiltonWalters Carpentry & Building converted our loft and extended our kitchen for us. Their attention to detail, hard work and the fact that once they started the work, they were there every day until it was finished was really impressive and everyone was so nice too! I would (and already have) advise anyone thinking of converting their loft or doing other building works that there is really only one company they should talk to ?

Hope they can help you out as much as they did me!

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
