Builders/Plumbers Recommedations - Manchester Area

Hi,

I'm after some recommendation for a decent builder/plumber in the Manchester area at reasonable rates.

I'm after having a new boiler/ch/bathroom and also some building work (skimming/artexing/coving/skirting boards/doors etc).

Any recommendations welcome (Please bear in mind I'm a first time buyer and dont really have alot of money to pay high rates). The property is empty and unoccupied, hence getting under the floorboards and making a mess shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks, Ash

    I recommend Nelly - I know nothing about the quality of his work, but he's a very entertaining poster.

    I'm sure he'll be along shortly.
    "Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like a triumph spitfire or 3000 in cash?" He smiled.
    Mrs. Pench took the money. "What will you do with it all? Not that it's any of my business," he giggled.
    "I think I'll become an alcoholic," said Betty.

    I would reccomend nelly as well, he did a job for an aquantance and he was extremly happy with the price and the finish of the plaster.

    Don't think I know of a plumber.
    Work like you don't need money,
    Love like you've never been hurt,
    And dance like no one's watching
    Save the cheerleader, save the world!

    I've heard that his plastering is smoother than silky the silkworm in his best silk pyjamas smoking a silk cut
