House refurbishment

Hi

Starting in June with the windows being replaced (company organised) we will then be moving onto refitting the kitchen, bathroom, wooden floors down stairs and general redecoration.

From reading various treads posters always suggest to choose trademen that have been recommended by friends/family. Being new to the area I don't know anyone to ask.

Can anyone out there recommend trademen that could do any of the jobs above. I live in Buckinghamshire

Many thanks

    And you should know that you are not allowed to advertise products and services on this forum. OP wasn't asking for an unsolicited approach from a tradesperson he was asking for recommends from existing customers.

    But you were told all this on the Rotten Floorboards Thread at the beginning of the month. Advice is welcome - touting for biz isn't. Surely your memory isn't that short?

    One thing I've learnt on internet forums is you don't take them too seriously.If you take humbridge on here you def don't want to post on some of the trade forums , they don't sugar coat it over there as they call a spade a spade.

    My advice is stay a while and read the threads and post if they interest you and you can help or need help but never post a link to your own business.The rules are there for everyones benefit and lets be honest how many of us would bother reading any thread if they were flooded with spam...:D
