Any builders or flooring people in Kent on here?

[GRAV888]

Got to be someone on here from Kent in the building trade.
My mrs wants a porch built on the house, anyone able to come and give me a quote?
She knows exactly the style she wants

I agreed to doing this along with a new stair carpet and having my lounge and dining room floor done with wooden flooring.
In return, she agreed that I can go and buy a Ferrari, so help me out and come and give me a quote.

Porche for her Ferrari for him. Very good. She did say Porch didn't she?

Hi Graeme,

Not a builder and it won't help for the porch, but what sort of wood floor were you looking for to go in your lounge/dining room?

I got a fantastic deal on T&G solid oak from a place not far from you (pretty sure they were in kent) - worked out around £20/m2.

If this is the sort of thing you were looking for let me know and I'll see if I can dig the details out.

Cheers Will, that would be great.
I would need someone to fit it though, or it would end up in small pieces and be thrown through the windows
If it was metal, I'd be ok, but me and wood don't get along too well
She doesn't want laminate, but solid wood. Size of room is 12' x 24'.

Better make sure you don't hit that new Ferrari parked outside the window .

LOL.
I am not allowed to get it until after the house bits have been done.
I need to get it done asap though, as I have already seen the car

Yes, sounds about right - they're smart at these things you know .

Priceless

I'll see if I can find their details.

Not sure if they do fitting themselves, although they might know someone if you're local I guess?

Fitting can be quite expensive though, from what I've seen, probably as much as the floor itself or more!

Although I didn't buy the flooring from their website, maybe phone/visit them and arrange a better deal if you need it?

I did buy about 50m2 though.

Thanks mate.
I could fit it if the room was square, but would need someone to do the curves and the corners.
After all, you just bang it together with a 14lb sledge hammer don't you?

I'm sure something could be arranged

I have a contact for 2 very good & reliable "small builders" who built our Porch when we first came here 7 years ago. They have just completed our Earthquake Repairs to a very good standard. I know they specialise in Conservatories/Extensions etc.

Interested? Where abouts are you? They work out of the Folkestone/Elham area & have contacts with all sorts of other trades people. I recommend them 100%.

One of our Neighbours is in the process of having their T&G Oak wood floor(only laid 10months ago) renewed by a 1 man outfit. Fantastic workman. Again Earthquake repair.

I can pass on your details should you be interested etc
