Need a handyman to fix floorboards/do some decorating

Hi there,

I'm looking for a handyman to repair some floorboards and do some decorating. The house is in Central Brixton.

If anyone knows of anyone who they've had good experiences with I'd be enternally grateful if they could PM me details.

Thanks !
 
We need to get a new bathroom put in (and also rebuld the existing one).

Being clueless, I am keen to go for some sort of full service option where one company is responsible for design, survey, supply, build etc.

So far, Dolphin seem to be the only organisation I have found that fits the bill, but a quick Google shows a catalogue of complaints about them (I assume that people are more likely to post opinions on the web if they have a complaint than if they have a recommendations - but even so).
  • Does anyone have any direct experience of Dolphin, both good and bad?
  • Alternatively, can you recommend somewhere else we can go to? (we are in SW London / Tulse Hill)?
We had the Dolphin salesman round last night for an initial look, prior to coming back to measure up and design it on his laptop, and he was alright but gave it a bit too much of the "special sale on if you sign by Monday" patter to make me comfortable.

Any advice much appreciated, as I am feeling a bit lost !

Ps Will cross post this in suburban and Brixton trades - Mods please delete one if that is the wrong thing to do - ta

a few bucks helping me move a few tables, beds and other stuff up to our second floor flat?
My girlfriend and I will of been driving for the past 9 hours, feeling tired and even though theres not
that much heavy stuff shes really not built for that kind of physical work!

Can anybody recommend any builders that can do kitchen refurbs so to speak of?

Anybody know of anybody?

P.S. I'm based in Streatham
 
Hello all. We need a man with a van who is trustworthy, burly and won't rip us off. I'd read back further on the thread but it's all a bit old. Anyone moved recently and was saved by guardian angel with van?
 
Hi all - looking for a reasonable and fairminder plumber to do a job on Barnwell Road SW2. It isn't too tricky, it's just that the water valve that supplies the dishwasher and the washing machine - it has sprung a leak. Have managed to royally fck about with the rubber washer, thus killing it.

So someone who will do a pss easy job and not charge me a fortune just for being a thick girl. Please.

Hi everyone... was wondering if anyone knows about Alan Hope, he was a joiner based in Brixton. His place was at 532 Barrington Road SW9 8QB. He seems to have closed down! Ive been searching and searching online and not been able to find him. Anyone know his current contact details? Or story? Haha

If you haven't found one, try Lino - his number's on here somewhere, or I can PM it to you.

I need a window cleaner in Herne Hill, who's willing to climb a ladder. Is there such a thing anymore?

I'm after a Window Cleaner as well, could you let me know Lino's number, or does anyone else have any recommendations?

Thanks
 
My lodger used Lino (for moving flat) after Snowy's recommendation (and Tank Girl also recommended him I think).. he was fab apparently.

I could also do with a window cleaner as it happens!
