Hi Nell

There are a couple of builders reccomended on the Bowes Park Community Association Website -  I'm not sure how current the comments are though?

Hi Nell,

I recommend John Miles at Abbey Builders who is working on my house in Palmerston Rd at the moment and undertook major works for us when we moved in. He's based in Waltham Abbey, very experienced, knowledgeable especially about old houses and won't rip you off. tel 07940 507623

Best wishes

Theresa

Hi Nell

 

My husband is a builder/carpenter and lives locally, Matt is coming round for a sub committee meeting at ours on the 26th January so I can show him what Colin has done in our place.  Colin's e-mail is colinlb54@yahoo.co.uk.

 

Regards

 

Christine

Thanks Christine! We think we've found a builder now, but if not I'll definitely get in touch with Colin soon. We're almost certainly going to need quite a bit of carpentry work doing after the builders have gone - just can't get my head around doing absolutely everything in one go. Too many decisions!

Nell.

Hi Nell,

 

I received this information from Diana: 

I’d like to recommend my builder Nurse (his first name is Clarence but everyone calls him by his surname, Nurse). He has done a lot of work on my house in Queens Road, a wreck that I have been renovating for over a year now as money permits. He has knocked down walls for me, fitted new doors, plastered and made good, laid new floorboards, plumbed in my washing machine. He will also do smaller jobs. And he is endlessly cheerful. His number is 07943531583. If you call him, please say I recommended him. Diana

Hope that helps,

Jess

Hi Nell

I'd like to revive the thread as I'm looking for a builder to do a bathroom refit. Would it be possible for you to pass-on your builder's details.

Thanks Kevin
