Howard in reply to @Dammit
Finally decided to cheque-book the rest of the work my flat needs, which means it'll actually be finished by the end of November, in theory at least.

How do I find such a person in West / Westminster through which I can
- get some electrical sockets moved / installed / chased
- get some radiators moved / replaced / upgraded
- get some general making good done, fixing cracked plaster, bathroom sealant etc
My experiences of MyBuilder or whatever have been weak, i'm not sure they are a solution in London at least; nobody wants to do small jobs. But taken together these jobs require different specialisms - so it feels like one medium sized job for someone who can either do all these things (unicorn) or knows other people willing to do them (more likely).

How do I find that person?

Do you have a local residents group/assoc/facebook/something? We have an active one here and I'm working through their 'recommended supplier'/'I used this guy and I wasn't ripped off' list finding people surprisingly happy to come over and solve a very similar list of problems (as long as I don't mind waiting 3 weeks for a slot).
