The I need a job done around my House Thread

kilburn

Loads of threads popping up for this recently.

Thought it might be helpful to have one thread which we can all refer to.

MODs if there is space can we sticky this?

Can anyone recommend a window cleaner, gutter cleaner and house cleaner in the Corbally area who will actually answer the phone or turn up.......

Anyone know someone who will block up our chimneys properly?
Should they be sealed top and bottom or do I need to keep them ventilated?

Could you try something like this if your only looking to stop a draft?

Ideally you should vent a chimney if you close up a fire place or strip a section of the chimney out and close it off

Recommendation for someone to do a simple enough lean to roof off a shed. Looking to make an outdoor play/meet area for next few months. TIA

Thanks for that suggestion. We have been thinking of doing something like that on a temporary basis, but really we want to get the chimneys blocked permanently.

Mike McGregor **Ill pm his number**

Treacy roofing recommended him to me and although he took a little over a week to get to me when he did he was able to fix it there and then . Nice man, reasonable prices and knows his trade . Fixed my leak in a tiled roof that another roofer had said he fixed but didn't and never came back .

I'm waiting to pounce to recommend you but no one has come forward with a request for your particular set of skills

I'd say go to someone like A&R Supplies or Ger Malone's who supply tanks and ask them to recommend someone to do the job.

I haven't used them but if anyone if going up on your roof makes sure they're insured and use ladders, anyone walking on tiles can crack them, you won't know about the cracks until it's too late.

That's good advice. The amount of damage done in and around chimneys and valleys from guys not using ladders is crazy.

Cheers lads. website says they are insured and im aware of the risks and need for insurance etc, hence looking to see if anyone has experienced. if i cant get someone suited ill end up at it myself :P

If anyone has any recommendations to get fascia repaired/replaced and roof repointed I'd appreciate the tip.

We had a leak during heavy rain so need to get it looked at before the spring showers kick in

John Needham from Killaloe did my parents house and they were very happy with him.

I had someone do a pretty big job for me the year before and as a result, I can recommend someone to avoid, unfortunately. They are using a previous address in Askeaton on Golden Pages and also listed in irelandlookup. Listed as Fascia & Soffit and also guttering.
I got a judgement in small claims court against them and the Sherrif was unable to get anything from them. The Sheriff's office seems to have a long list of judgements against them and no means of getting anything from them, so one to be aware of.

Hi folks ,

Can anyone recommend someone to clear moss from a roof?

I have a leaking roof , roofer called out , says he cant find the leak due to the level of moss on the roof , he recommended it be cleaned first.

From a quick Google, most outfits that pop up appear to power wash the roof, I have been advised against this so I am looking for it to be cleaned manually.

Hey folks. I am looking for a few different tradesmen for the following. If anyone has any recommendations I would appreciate it.

- Chimney Sweep
- Oil boiler service
- Builder to complete a full renovation of our 1st floor (replace floors & ceilings, plaster, new doors new bathroom, addition of some extra power sockets etc)

Hi guys. Can anyone recommend a plumber and/or an electrician that could fix an immersion switch and a shower that is no longer flowing any water?

We've been hit with a double whammy here and currently have no way to have a shower.

Please PM me if you know anyone that could help.

There is an excellent electrician on here goes by the name of tweek84 . I couldn't rate him highly enough, would restore your faith in tradesmen .

Hi all was wondering would anyone have a recommendation for someone to do some work in my back yard. I had it concreted over a few years ago and I want to get rid of it and get some grass put it.

Thanks

I am wondering if you found somebody to clean your roof? I am in the same position and finding it very difficult to source someone to do this. Many thanks

ligind

I got the leak repaired so having the roof cleaned is less of a priority. There was a few lessons learned there unfortunately.

I got a recommendation from the roofer that originally called out , I did get a quote , expensive enough but they were saying all the right things when I spoke to them on the phone . I might get it done later in the year .

I would recommend being very precise in what you expect done and the associated cost before any work starts.

Will someone give suggestions for a painter / decorator, need inside & outside of house painted.

Hello,

Did you get some recommendations?

Hi all,

Need a plumber to change a valve leading into boiler system, failed open.
It's affecting our boiler/heating, but doesn't need an RGI.

Thanks

yogalady

Hi there. Looking for someone to do some weeding and tidying up in the garden. Any recommendations for someone who isn't expensive. Many thanks

Ended up doing this myself. Called a few plumbers, no call backs.

Would you consider artificial grass, AFAIK it can be fitted directly onto your existing concrete, so would eliminate possible expensive excavation work, considering it myself but it will be next year for us as doing other stuff this year.
