Anyone know anyone who can fix a Hotpoint electric double oven? It fused the house earlier and now I can't get it to switch on. Power is reaching it as the little digital clock is working, but neither top nor bottom oven will turn on. Apols not to search through thread for this type of info - an wrangling a 9 day old baby and a bit horrified to find myself without oven!

IGNORE ME -HAVE SORTED - WAS BEING STOOPID.

Timer? :hmm:
 
Not sure if I'm allowed to do this but I'm a qualified electrician based in Brixton- I have appeared in the recommended trades section but a while ago.

You can check out my website if you like www.atb-electrical.co.uk for more info/contacts

Kanda: do you mind if I merge this thread with the other one as it's proved a brilliant resource and would be good to keep them all together.
 
...ooh forgot my original purpose in visiting this thread....I know a young man who is a good general handyman who can do small jobs evening & weekends. PM me if you want his details.
 
Need recommendations for a washing machine repair guy. Needs to really know his job as I think I need valves in washing machine replaced, valves/taps that control the water flow replaced, and I think I've also now got a blockage somewhere as water is pouring out of soap tray.

If it's going to cost silly money then it may just be worth buying new washing machine which always costs more as you have to bung people money to bring it up four flights of stairs.

I've seen Will Forest's name crop up, but not sure if he's a handyman, jack of all trades or a dedicated washing machine repairman

Someone also recommended someone who advertises in the SLP. Doesn't know his name. Just remembers that he was a black guy and lives local.
 
This thread really should be a sticky you know, and I think someone should do a summary of all the tradespeople recommended and their phones numbers
 
Without having time to reread the whole thread, I am looking for a local and reliable:

roofer, electrician and person to put in central heating
 
Man and van Removals

For man and van removals I have recently moved WAG Removals who were recommended to me by my neighbour, and they were great. They moved my office and my flat and were very professional and had a very good atitude to customer service.
The price was very good too. They have their prices on their website so you can check.
Very Recommendable!

Leatherworker/Tailor/Seamstress?
I'm looking for someone to do repairs on a (very heavy-duty) leather coat - does anyone have any suggestions?
Cheers.
 
How much should it cost to replace a first floor exterior (masonry) window sill/ ledge? Approx?

Dimensions: 1000mm x 300mm x 150mm.

I discovered it today, apparently it came down during the snow with the weight of icicles.
 
Can anyone recommend a decorator in the Brixton/Herne Hill area?

We have a small bedroom that needs redecorating (wall paper stripping, painting).

Thanks!

has it all fallen down, or just partially collapsed? And what sort of property?

I'm admittedly channeling these questions on behalf of a Stonemason mate down the pub and can't give you a quick answer. The basic jist of what I understood is that if it's entirely gone, you may need more than a masonry specialist to come and quickly patch up
