Recommend yes RECOMMEND, two great builders...Sorted my shocking shower...

[DIYbeginner]

Both are local and one recommended the other.
Desmond Bowe: desmondbowe.co.uk/ been in Chiswick for years, knows his stuff, and knows a good builder when he sees one.

Established builder himself he recommended the HUGELY competent David Morihan from Chiswick based 3dREFURB.
Shower disaster just before Christmas. Leaked. Then boiler went and then...I'll spare you.

NO idea how to find builder to replace shower.

Desmond Bowe was up to his ears in business; so recommended David from 3DRefurb www.facebook.com/pages/category/Construction-Company/3D-Refurb-Ltd-2123421747875149/

Bathroom is now a joy - very SMALL bathroom, which is not easy to shower in, never mind build anything other than a lego house. NO huffing and puffing. David did the job. With grace.

Lovely bloke. Personable, professional and reasonable cost.
Had some building nasties in my time, so wanted to celebrate a good 'un.

That's great when that happens isn't it. I have a cracking builder as well who's making current works feel blissful after 10 months of dealing with some tradesmen that almost pushed me over the edge!

Glad you found good 'un too. Like you, had my fair share off 'nearly had a breakdown', builders in past. Seems so hit 'n miss. Recommendation best way. Good ones are always v busy. For understandable reasons...

Great recommendations!
I lucked out this time my guys have been fab. They don't have a website or anything and get jobs solely by word of mouth. They turn up on time, they tidy up every day, they are polite, don't swear, LISTEN to me, and take real pride in their work.

Always a delight when that happens. Please share the builder love if anyone has any recommendations north east way as gearing up to enter extension hell.

Also got a small bathroom - how have you got round this issue? Can we see pictures??
