betty31 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I am looking for a contractor to take on a renovation job in my flat: wall knocked down, new bathrooms fitted, sanding all floorboards, electrics work etc. I have architect plans ready and need a reasonable quote. They will need to be used to working to detailed architect plans. The contractor I was going to use is now unable to do the job and I'm working to a tight deadline.Can anyone recommend anyone who does work to a high quality finish? Thankyou!!!

grace3 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 MrBen, it's not the physical work involved in sanding old boards, it's the 'expectations' anyway go ahead and get 'burned' Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/42852-highly-recommended-contractor-needed-to-start-job-asap/#findComment-736026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salsaboy Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I've been working on a job that has also had a couple of Polish guys working at the same place. Both the Polish guys were complaining how lazy some of their fellow countrymen are.MrBen Wrote:> And the British builders who complain about losing> work to the Poles wonder why?

Loads of lazy, jaded, moaning builders out there for whom its always somebody else's fault. Nothing wrong with the OP's request. Plenty decent builders would do that job as part if a bundle. See attached for not unreasonable results?

betty31 Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 Thankyou Stephen and 'localhandyman' I will pm you. Grace3 - I don't understand what you mean by 'expectations'. I was outlining the things I need done- I will pay a fair wage: if someone chooses not to do that they don't need to respond.

eberg Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 There is some weirdness on this forum sometimes. People post requests for recommendations then others who seem to have no interest in the thread other than to pass some sort of comment, any sort comment, clutter things up with a load of inanity. Do us a favour and use the other areas of the forum if you want a bit of banter or flirting. Polite request.

grace3 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 No 'banter' intended, people looking for 'mugs' to do their work must realise that proper tradespersons are watching and have every right to make a comment.
