General Builder recommendation - Middx

Hi there,

I need to have a few minor works carried out at a 2 bed flat in Middlesex. Can anyone recommend a good general builder?

The main works are boarding all the floorboards with a thin plywood and then installing a shower, smoke alarms, checking gas and electric installations and certifying them.

I'm looking for someone honest, able to do the work soon and quickly and someone who works to a high standard.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,

    I know of a tradesperson based in Whitton (not me, I can barely change a plug!) well able to do the floorboards, shower and smoke alarms who is honest etc. But AFAIK you need someone with the appropriate Corgi and NICEIC registrations to check and certify the gas and electric installations. The person I'm thinking of does not fit that bill.
