Highly Recommended contractor needed to start job asap

Recommended Posts

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!!!

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.

Total bollocks again I'm afraid. 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?

Because it doesn't fit with my plan to work less and moan about the world owing me a favour??...whilst scratching my arse over a luke warm pint in the Castle?

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.
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.

    • Ahh, that's too bad. The SLP was always on sale in Sainsbury's and always available in libraries. They did some really detailed local crime reporting and local government reporting that other outlets wouldn't focus on.
    • Miranda Sawyer of the (once) Observer has done a piece on festival on Insta which might be of-interest.  Councils are private companies, imo. They make money for themselves, imo.  I do not think by law that they have to follow anything brought up by a consultation, this is for 'face' only - hence, LTNs and everything else.  
    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
