Builder / decorator east london

Hello
Have realised there is far more to do in my new house than I can do on my own after work!

Does anyone have a recommendation for builder/plasterer/decorators or someone who can sort everything out?

Looking to chase in some electrics, new sockets and switches (can get electrician myself first) fill in various holes, remove some old secondary glazing rims, skim walls and ceilings and replace skirting, architrave and doors and paint. This is for 3 bedrooms.

Oh, the bit above the doors are glass and I would like that to be covered over with plasterboard.

Does anyone have any recomendations?

Also in going to get new carpet - would you take up the old laminate flooring first or after the decoration?

Thanks!

I used a plasterer based in Leyton who I will pm you to recommend. I think he does decorating and light building work as well . If you join the leytonstone life Facebook group there are often non anonymous recommendations for various tradesmen.
