Work to do in flat but can’t find any trades person

[OrElia25]

Hello
Have a few jobs to do in flat in Edinburgh before selling but can’t get anyone to come and quote or even do the work. Had a toilet leak and the plumber cancelled in the morning and was not interested in rebooking :(
toilet still need fixing, few painting and repairs of walls and ceilings, change bath screen. None of it is big but I am not able to do myself.
Can anyone recommend a handyman or trade company who would actually be interested please ?
alternatively do you know of any estate agent who would be able to help with their own reliable contractors if I sign with them to sell ? Not sure if that kind of service exists..

Any recommendation would be highly appreciated

thank you !

Try taskrabbit

Person recommendations are best. What are your neighbours like? Could you knock on their doors and ask?

Try Facebook! This isn't really a thread for Mumsnet is it?

Pm me. I can help. Estate agent here

Apologies if my post offended you. I tried Facebook and did not lead anywhere. I believe mumsnet is much more reliable and not necessarily looking for trades people names but just advice how to find the ones that would actually turn up and be interested. have a good day

Try posting or looking in the local egg group on Facebook. They might know of someone who does smallish jobs.

Recommendations I've saved from local facebook groups are Neil Dannock handyman, Callum Smith Granton Handyman 07586 571491, MTHandyman Services Edinburgh (on facebook)

try mybuilder. put up a free ad and folk should reply. I am just under an hour from Edinburgh but its a good website.

I've used Edinburgh Handyman before for these type of tasks. Not the cheapest but was very good and reliable

If you're anywhere near Leith try:
Mike Mullen 07359 098960 [email protected] for plumbing work
Edinburgh Trusted Trader is a good site. Have used R.A.F Joinery & Home Improvements for painting work and they did a good job.

Harbour multi trade have always turned up for me, if you're still looking @OrElia25
