Topic: Trade Recommendations

[Giz a Gobble]

Hello - bought a house and now needing to rip out every window and french window to start again so was just wondering if anybody had any personal recommendations for window/door companies in Liverpool who can help? Was planning to get 2-3 out to give me some quotes. Could also do with a recommendation for a locksmith as well to change the locks - ta!

Thought this could be opened up to any recommendations for tradesmen (electricians, plumbers) etc in case anybody needs help in the future.

Would highly recommend Scenic based in Huyton, just done all my daughters windows/doors/ patio and have done all ours in the past, reliable, clean etc. They done my mates patio doors and also a step so can do building work as well, he was well pleased.

I used Jones windows systems (jws) I think they were in St helens, built me a porch and conservatory, did a great job, and always respond to maintenance calls quickly if you've a dodgy handle or stuff like that, I've also used safe style  for French windows and they are a high quality, but you pay for that and you also have to put up with knobhead salesmen with the big companies.

Good idea for a thread this, I've been trying to get a decent pointing company for two years, builders just aren't interested in pointing.

Replacement windows now come under Building Regulations . Make sure that any company you use is FENSA registered , or alternatively you would have to apply for Building Reg's approval .

And retain the certificate in case you ever sell the house.

Any personal recommendations for a decent cobbler/shoe repair place, ideally South Liverpool or city centre? Tried Timpsons on Allerton Road last time, but it was neither cheap nor overly impressive on that occasion. Ta loves.

I'm looking for a roofer in South Liverpool (Penny Lane), anyone know a decent one?

A lad called Chris Tobin done  me a whole new roof after the storm earlier this year , decent lad for a bluenose . I'd worked on a job previously and while I was there the woman had a leak and one of the other lads on the job called him out , what I like was he went up took a load of pictures for her and explained everything honestly and openly . Done quick and tidy job for us .

Cheers - sounds decent, the last fella i had a was a right cowboy and the roof still isn't right. I'll give him a call.
