Finding decent tradespeople is half the battle. Whenever I see a builders van parked outside a house which is having work done (especially vans with no decals on them - good builders don't need to advertise) I see if I can get their phone number. I'm slowly building quite a collection

I guess the solid plumber does the soil pipes and you have a liquid plumber as well?

The flashing on the bay window is nicely done, not to that level, but definitely good enough. Just the chimney bit that looks poor.

To have a house that would warrant what he does would be pretty nice. Some houses in London look incredible.
