Builder recommendations wanted

Post by MiniFox »

Hello there

Are any of you builders by trade or can you recommend a builder? I need some pointing doing on the outside wall of our flat

Thanks

Cue: witty posts about people pointing/pointing fingers etc.

I'd like to know a good builder too.

Apparently the guy who owns sugahill knows one. Worth a coffee and a chat I think.

I will race you! Who gets the good builder first!

try Historic Brick Pointing

Post by charlieandpip »

If you're looking for serious quality pointing HBP are the guys.
They do general pointing, but also specialise in historic restoration and tuck pointing (an increasingly rare skill)
See http://www.historicbrickpointing.co.uk/ and ask for Dave Fovargue on 07956885031.
They repointed the front of our house in Cator Road over the summer. The quality is fantastic.
They've done various jobs in the area including some beautiful georgian houses in Dulwich Village.....

as for Builders......

And for builders, try Speargold, based in Beckenham. They do everything from extensions to bathrooms, brickwork, electrics, kitchens, plastering etc etc etc
Ring 020 8650 6650 and ask for Brett Carpenter.

Great quality, reliable. Just wish I'd found them earlier......
