  • This guy is a Joiner by trade so does fencing, decking, roofing, indoor joinery work such as kitchens, stairs, hanging doors etc. Also can supply and fit wooden floors. He also tiles. In fact, you could consider him a bit of a handy man as he'll do cleaning gutters, power washing, strimming/mowing gardens etc also. Whatever job you need done, give him a call and he'll have a look or give you a quote and if he can't do it, he'll know a guy who can as he's in the building/construction trade he has plenty of contacts. He's also reliable and hardworking!

    He's based in Tyrone but will travel all over the country - giving him a plug as work's scarce at the minute!


    Almost forgot to put his contact details in for you....

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I know this is an old thread, but posting in hope - perhaps someone can help please.

    Bit worried about having fingers burned – cost and reliability wise, so any recommendations would ease the apprehension on this score. Thanks.

    I am looking for a decent painter/painting company, for what I consider a fair crack of work.

    Both inside and out. Work can be done dependent on weather.

    Single storey [bungalow ] + some outbuildings/walls.

    I’m willing to wait if needs be, or go ahead now.

    I am located on the outskirts Belfast.
  • Has anyone any updates for this list?
    Plumbers/ tilers/ joiners/ electricians/ boiler repairs /decorators etc

    good to keep it up to date
  • A timely resurrection for this thread as I'm having my entire flat renovated. So far I have used

    Chris came out to measure up and quote and came back every day to check up on the work and make sure I was happy. Big Davy and his team carried out the work and again I was consulted on every aspect. They were also happy to put up mirrors, shelving etc that I supplied. They weren't the cheapest quote but what sold them for me was the fact that they listened to what I had to say, made suggestions to take my disablilites into account and re-did things if they saw it would make things easier for me.

    Davy McKeown Painter. Tel: 07904 488 010 I also have his home number if you prefer that pm me.
    I found Davy to be a perfectionist to the extent that I got frustrated at times but the end result was perfect. My friend who has used another painter for the last 20 years is now going to get him to do her next lot of painting. He doesn't do papering only paintng, interior and exterior. Friendly, chatty but didn't stop working for tea or lunch. Price was fair.

    Carpet fitters, joiners and electricians are next on my list so any recommendations for them would be welcome.
