Hi all

Just in the process of completing on a Victorian detached house that has been unloved for sometime. I need a bunch of great trades that people on here (whom for some bizarre reason I always trust - never been let down so far !) to do the work I need, which is basically :-

- Roof (tiled) repaired - NOT REPLACED !! There are some slipped tiles, a few hips that need the ridge tiles set back in etc
- Plumbing - 1 shower fitted, one ensuite done - this is the one part that will stay done, so quite a big job, the rest of the bathroom work is make do and mend till we can afford to do more. Also, need new boiler/cylinder combination supplied and fitted and all rad system flushed and cleaned out.
- Building - need new doorway put into en-suite and old one blocked off
- Guttering - plastic and in a bad way, not enough downpipes, leading to not enough soakaways and drains etc, causing considerable damp problems.
- Drainage - see guttering !

None of this is rocket science and we just want honest hardworking builders etc prepared to do a great job for a fair price, we can put whoever comes down to do the work up in the house (not palatial but will save on accomodation) if you are travelling - I know there is not a lot of work in all parts of the country and we live in ripoff central for builders and I am jack of builders who rock up in Porsches !

Is there any of these trades that people recommend or are you a hard working mountain biking doer of things with your hands that hasn't quite got enough work on and fancies a bit of soft southern hospitality, let me know, I would appreciate it massively. My email address is on the member page.

I would really appreciate this, having just come back to the country, all my builders from the olden days seem to have died or retired !
