ooo, thanks for that, will put him in my phone right now!!
Here's a strange one - does anyone know who could fit a spare fridge hinge like this?
We have a basement which I reckon we could turn in to a usable bedroom if it were to have the floor dropped by 18".
Does anyone know of a trustworthy and competent builder who would be able to come round and quote?
We've got a door opposite the basement entrance in to the side alley although that alley is about the width of a wheelbarrow so the ground couldn't be taken directly from the basement to a skip. It would need to be transferred at that side door as you couldn't get the barrow turned going out the door. Alternatively, if we are making a window / French door at the back, make a hole first and take it out there.Don't know anyone I could personally recommend. If I recall you don't have side or rear access to y our garden (?) so everything that is dug out would have to come through your flat... and do not under estimate the amount of stuff that will have to come out! It fluffs up (not a technical term!) amazingly!
What is his number? We need to get our bedroom doneJohn the Plasterer: just to confirm that he did a fantastic job for us and comes highly recommended Winot sparkybird. Ta for putting me in touch with him.
http://www.prestigetreecare.co.uk/ I have used these a couple of times now and recommended them to others - cover all se london and came in much cheaper than other quotes, also really pleasant team and took all the debris away with out any disruption/mess.Can anyone recommend someone to get rid of some trees from a garden (a largish sycamore tree, a 10 ft bay tree, an ash which is just a 4ft stump, but appears to be coming back from the dead, and a 5ft evergreen tree)
Chimney sweep?
We used: Paul Clarke (07946 506 909), he was brilliant, not a spot of dirt left in the house.
His friend was meant to be fitting a wood burning stove for us, but isn't returning my calls..
Chimney sweep told us today that the fitting of woodburning stoves has become quite a racket.
Whole deal should cost around £2.2k, he reckoned, but, with inflated labour charges, some customers pay £4k.
where are you?

Reporting in to the thread with my recent experiences with boiler plumbers recommended on this thread.
I initially called CW Services, Colin seemed very personable but not particularly knowledgeable as he said he had to go back to the office to look up the manual. He returned later, said the boiler needed a new PCB, but he had checked and Worcester were not making the parts any more as the boiler was too old. He said he would get me a quote for a new boiler.
I decided to ring Worcester, they said there should be no problem getting parts. I rang Parts Center and they had it in stock.
Then called James Barlett as recommended by Crispy. He said it was nothing to do with the PCB, the system needed flushing - he has spent the last three hours doing this and it is now working. James is great.
So a vote for James and a thumbs down for CW Services.

Thank you.
We have a parquet floor in a room 17 feet by 15 feet which needs sanding and revarnishing. I looked at earlier posts on U75 but only seemed to be one recommendation for sanding/varnishing floors. I contacted this firm and they quoted me £800, which is way outside my budget. Any other recommendations?
