Can't recommend anyone but make sure that they are able to deal with the building control and structural calculation side of things (unless you have someone else lined up). You will almost certainly need a new steel in the ceiling from front to back of the room to pick up the weight of the remaining chimney (it could possibly go in the loft or you could consider removing your half of the stack entirely and repairing the hole in the roof). Worth discussing with neighbours first too and recording condition of their side with photos in case of damage (the brickwork at the back of the flues is often totally unstable once the front is removed, so cracks may become visible). It is quite normal for perfectly reasonable neighbours to suddenly notice cracking which has been there forever! If you have to repair the back wall you may need a party wall agreement (strictly speaking).

Thanks for the heads up but they don't do it - for any price it would seem - get a chippie was their recommendation. A developer / builder mate of mine has finally offered to do it for a meal out but tis difficult to get anybody.Went on rated people offering a ton for two locks (around two hours work max - no-one can be bothered to qoute).

No need for the sorry and many thanks for the suggestion - you would have thought but they must have so much work on they can pick and choose their own sweet spot - which is probably emergency lock-outs and beefy security systems.

someone to replace a cooker hob for me_ pref and supply it
Hang two internal wooden doors

Warning. Hot potato.
Can anyone recommend a local cleaner who could handle Airbnb change overs? Would include bed making and ironing. Needs to be able to work without a lot of guidance and speak decent English or Spanish.
Irregular work depending on when bookings come in.

He put a new roof on for us (in 2011), having patched it up for a few year before that. It hasn't fallen apart yet, which I view as a good thing
He is based in Cheam so may not be able to travel specially for a small job, but you may be able to schedule for if/when he is in area
