Hi,
I would like to install a traditional fireplace. The original was removed and covered up with a wall mounted gas fire. There was an issue with leaking gas so I had it disconnected.

I now need to re connect the gas.
Knocked through to the original fireplace and make good. I have yet to buy the new fire and surround, once I know what I'm doing I'll buy one, I already have a good idea what I want.

If this is of interest please let me know

Fencing, guttering and inside work including plumbing

  • Location: Tooting
  • Hired: MVZ Installations
  • Trade: Restoration & Refurbishment
Job Description

I live between Earlsfield and Tooting in a 1950's house that I moved into six years ago. I have had two sets of builders in, one of whom was OK, the other was terrible and it has made me leave quite a few jobs for a few years that I should have done and I am keen to work with someone who can cover most, if not all, of the work.

I am keen to get things started as soon as possible but will wait to ensure I have the right people working on everything.

The work I am interested in is as follows (outside and downstairs loo take priority):
Back Garden (access only through the house)
Fencing the garden, relocating the shed (need to move two large bushes and put hard standing down) and refurbishing it (unless you recommend I get a new one)
Creating a decking area (I think the garden is too small for a pergola but would like to discuss) and covering up ugly concrete areas / path
Cleaning the roof facing the back garden (very mossy)
Adding my own downpipe from the guttering, repairing / replacing existing guttering
Adding the correct outflow pipes so they drain correctly
Downstairs Loo
The toilet is an old Sanitop (sanilav?) and has recently decided to make a lot of random noise and will need checking / repairing / replacing
Lay flooring (currently concrete) - have bought laminate but no underlay / cushioning (need advice for suitable type)
Check ventilation in line with regulations – add in if required
Kitchen
Checking the plumbing and repairing the kitchen tap
Checking the electrics behind the fridge
Fitting a door on the larder
Hallway / cupboard
Lay flooring - bought laminate wood flooring but no underlay (currently part concrete part carpet)
Upstairs bathroom
Side panel of bath has been fixed in place - would like to be able to have access and to have it all checked out underneath the bath in case there has been damage (grouting is terrible)
Re-grouting of tiles
Bedrooms
Quite heavy cracking on two ceilings - need to check whether repairs required or whether it is just old and needs re-plastering. One bedroom ceiling has cracks along the outside wall; again would like to check it is all OK
Living Room
Check whether the boarded up chimney is suitable for use and if so, adding a fireplace and surround
