2015/16 recommended tradesmen MEGATHREAD no advertising/self promotion

I asked Jeff Smith (Jeff the Joiner) to fix some squeaky floorboards in my attic. I knew when my son was getting up because I could hear the squeak in our bedroom below. I texted Jeff and he arranged to come over and take a look. We agreed a price and he turned up on the agreed date and on time. He uncovered a bodge job from the previous owners when the boards were lifted. Usually this results in the tradesman scaring the hell out of you with some tale of woe and additional cost. However Jeff just wanted to explain the problem - he already had a solution and just got on with it. I now have a squeak free floor and he got all the other agreed jobs done on that day as well. Whilst it was just a small job for Jeff - one days work - he still took an interest. What is nice is that he is very approachable and chatty and makes you feel at ease. Cheers Jeff - I would recommend him for any joinery work.

I just had loft renovation works undertaken by Whitecliffes Builders. They have done a brilliant job. Eric the manager is very friendly, reliable and organized. Nigel and Owen had done everything properly and fast. I really like their can-do attitude. They turned up on time every morning even the snowy days and kept the house tidy. It’s been pleasure to have them around for three weeks. We would definitely be using the team again and have recommended to our friends.

Hi

I'm looking for a handyman/electrician to replace a downstairs light fitting. So the wiring is there but needs moving a bit and then there'll be some ceiling repair work. I'm hoping not to have to take the flooring up upstairs but that may be necessary. Do all electricians undertake the ancillary repair tasks as part of the job? This may be a small job - but they never seem to pan out that way :-(

Any recommendations? We're in S17

I've just had Matt from MJB Electrical Services round today to extend our ring main to some new sockets in several rooms.

They did an excellent job, turned up on time for both the quote and to do the work, and responds to all emails promptly.

When getting quotes for the job there were people who never got back to me, so it was good to have someone respond so quickly when arranging the work.

Recommending Jeff the Joiner.

He's just done some oak bookshelves for us and he's done a great job. You'll need to book quite far ahead but it's well worth the wait. He sourced some very reasonable wood and the shelves look great.Totally recommended.

You'll find his details all over the the Forum.

Hi,

 

Any recommendations for a handyman? I'm in Millhouse Green near Penistone.

 

Looking to have a couple of external lights fitted (wiring is already present), house number plaque, 3 x bathroom towel radiators, sink and worktop in utility room and possibly an outdoor tap and some paving pointing.

 

Not looking for quotes please, just recommendations for somebody who is reliable and will do a quality job.

 

Thanks

David
