Anyone know who can fix a wobbly short brick wall?

It seems it's been hit by a car or something - I'm not sure if these things can be economically fixed or just need full rebuild. Are there people who do repairs as well as bricklaying who'll consider both? Feel like if I speak to a bricklayer they're likely just to opt for rebuild by default, but maybe that makes sense anyway.

So they have removed the gender for Mr and Mrs Potato Heads, in response to that I have replaced men with people... Happy Friday... If someone could be very kind and tidy up all the contacts, I would be grateful and will update my original post...

Good stuff @ExTra

I should have done this ages ago TBH... but it was one of those things you keep meaning to do but never... I’ll probably end up tidying the list in about 6 months time? 😬

need a builder to do some relatively simple jobs - repair some brickwork on a patio wall, and a brick column that has split and moves a bit. Also some loose paving slabs and so on. Islington. Any reccomendations? @andyfallsoff did you find anyone? jobs sound vaguely similar.

Sorry - I've not found one yet! Will let you know if I do. We have some ideas but nothing more than Google results

Can anyone recommend a heater engineer in South East London, need to get my boiler serviced asap, British Gas currently only doing emergency work.

I dont have one, but usually book a service through them. Found a local firm now booked in for next week.

Vallient bugger, I'll keep these in mind for next time thanks!

I would always go independent, fuck BG..

Anyone know of someone who could do a simple reset fence post and replace fence panel in a Walthamstow back garden? Simple job.

Anyone recommend a plumber in the E5 Clapton / surrounding areas??

May need an urgent call out tomorrow

Thanks

could anyone recommend an electrician and a painter/decorator in South West London?

Clive should cover SW London. His details on my first post.

Yep - Peter O'Donoghue has been great for me, reasonably priced and always happy to give advice. Based up in Enfield IIRC but happy to do Clapton. Zero797one 675four9nine

Tell him Pete who had the leaking pressure vessel, then got Alan and Peter's son round to do his gas safety certificate sent you ;)

Amazing, thanks v much

Ended up using this firm for my boiler service, they cover all South East London. Turned up bang on time, followed all the current protocols, very friendly Engineer and did a thorough and efficient job.

Currently using Tony Dumble from Unequaled Heating for a full new unvented boiler system.
Prompt and polite. He was crowned "heating engineer of the year" in 2019 and his pipe bending skills are pretty amazing.
Minor Instagram celeb too.
We're in SE6 and he's Bexleyheath based.

His works nice but I bet his price is nice too.

It's a little more than the two others that quoted but certainly not outrageously more.
Our whole house is full of bodges from the previous owner.
Here's our current current boiler, it's located in a 'cinder block shed' outside.
