We have a job that needs doing soon - our original plans have fallen through so it's fairly short notice, but the work is not especially complicated:
widening one doorway (not a supporting wall),
putting two new doorframes and doors in,
putting new skirting boards in the hallway (about 4 metres long x 1metre wide) and living room (about 3 metres by 4 metres)
put coving up in living room
painting the walls, ceiling, skirting in the hallway and living room (possibly putting lining paper first - we need advice on this)
There are then a couple of finishing touches like putting in some plug sockets, hanging a small curtain pole etc
We will have some other similar jobs coming up in the house next year, so if whoever we get does a good job we will be looking to hire them again. We have had quite a few let downs from workmen recently so we need someone reliable who can give a quote quickly and do the work asap.
I am off work for the week commencing 21st November (i.e. next week!) so ideally I wanted to arrange someone to come round then. I have to book some other work (new flooring) which can only be done after this job, and I need everything completed by the end of November so it is important that whoever we hire is available next week.
