Trades People in London we like (Electricians, Plumbers, Gas Engineers, Carpenters, Builders etc)

Craig and Katie, boiler repair in N4 from Simple Management Solutions were great. On time, quick and good prices. Would recommend.

Anyone know a contractor that could take on a shop fit? We’ve run out of trades on the latest job, everyone is mad busy.

If anyone has any home renovation people recommendations (pref someone who can call all the different people in) for se London (
Job 1 : strip, replaster, paint, build out a wardrobe, build in a desk, possibly wooden flooring, maybe shift a rad by 30 cm
Job 2: downstairs bathroom overhaul
Job 3: probably before job 2 install new front door double glazed unit job)
That'd be cool.

Brexit/covid has fucked our normal dude.

My 13 yr old Vailant packed up while we were away (I was able to limp it along this week with daily resets), John from Full Flame has just been round and a new pcb and service later it’s running perfect again. Bloody cheap too.

Just messaged you

Any recommended roofers in north? We have @ObiWomKenobi ‘s heating folk round to move our boiler to the attic, which means a new flue

I've not used them myself but these come highly recommended

Thanks, was hoping you'd have an idea!

I used Lee Murphy - LA Roofing (0797 373 8590) for a small repair after the recent crazy downpours. Seemed like a decent, straight talking guy and more importantly he came when he said he would to quote and do the job. As it was a small job he fit me in at short notice too.

He usually gets recommended on HaringeyOnline, that's where I got his number: https://harringayonline.com/forum/topic/listForTag?tag=roofer

Has anyone got a glazier? they recommend - I'm needing a catflap to be installed in a new piece of glass (so new window pane to be made, cut out and fitted) Im in Walthamstow/Chingford

looking for a kitchen fitter/ carpenter/ builder type, as my plumber needs to get to a crumbling pipe to repair/replace, and need the kitchen fitter/ carpenter/ builder type to remove and then replace a unit underneath the sink for access.
This is fairly urgent, hoping to get the plumber in early next week.
South London based.

thanks

Thanks, will give him a shout

I'll ask the guys when they're here tomorrow. They know a carpenter who built our airing cupboard from scratch. Whereabouts South are you again?

Stockwell

Usually?! I was searching to remove the filter to just posts about him! The guy is like 85% of recommendations. He's booked solid for 6 weeks though

Hi,
Can anyone recommend a decent, reliable builder for a small job in N19?
I need a small section of a wall removed in order to investigate a potential source of damp. Once this is done, the wall would need to be repaired to its original state. Hoping for a recommendation rather than finding someone random online.
Thanks.

@Duplo you might find someone on here

I have no affiliation with this website or anyone listed

Thanks a lot. That's a good resource.

Anyone recommend a decent electrician in N London? Need an old burglar alarm taking out and a few other bits and bobs

This bloke was fine when I used him in the past.

Everyone decent had about a month waiting list last time I tried to find someone though.

EDIT: Looks like he's moved to Liverpool

Any Ealing / West London plumber suggestions?

I expect you are sorted now but I've used a guy called Martin McConway half a dozen times over the years and he has been fine. He said he used to be a club cyclist when he was younger then switched to beer.

Any recommendations for SW8ish? Ideally a 1 stop shop for new plug sockets, floor, doors, built in storage and decorating.

decorator in N1? hackney side

Yes, got the pipe sorted thanks. Dov suggested a guy who suggested a guy.

Although the actual work to fix the damage is still in progress 3 months later...

Excellent North London heating engineers/plumbers

These guys have just put a new boiler into my attic. Great work, kept to their word, very neat pipe work, very happy
