What we do here

Work in Mile End

Mile End is largely Victorian and Edwardian terraces with converted flats among them, which means blown lath and plaster, walls that have been papered over rather than repaired, single skin rear additions and floors nowhere near level, and every one of those is a known quantity here rather than a surprise halfway through. In practice most of what we are asked for around Mile End is plastering, with everything else on the list available alongside it.

Questions

Working in Mile End

What work do you do in Mile End?

Across Mile End (E1) it is mostly plastering, decorating, flooring and full room refurbishments in flats and terraces. Mile End is largely Victorian and Edwardian terraces with converted flats among them, which means blown lath and plaster, walls that have been papered over rather than repaired, single skin rear additions and floors nowhere near level, and every one of those is a known quantity here rather than a surprise halfway through. Which of those makes sense for your place comes out of a free look at the job rather than a phone call, because the property decides most of it.

Do you charge extra to work in Mile End?

No. Mile End is where we are based, so there is nothing in the price for travel and a look at the job usually happens within a day or two of you calling.

Do you work in Mile End often?

Yes. Mile End has a lot of student and rental property, which means quick turnarounds between tenancies and plenty of making good. We are based in Bow and cover East London, the Essex side and south of the river, so Mile End is normal territory. If we are busy and cannot start when you need, you get told that rather than being kept waiting on a maybe.

Does the type of property in Mile End change the job?

A good deal. Terraces around Mile End were built the same way and they fail the same way: hollow lath and plaster on the walls, hairline cracks that come back every winter, a rear addition with no insulation and a floor that has settled at one end. Because that is expected, the quote allows for it rather than producing an extra in week two. It also means we know when a wall genuinely needs taking off and when a skim will hold, which is the difference between a job that lasts and a job that looks fine for a year.

How soon could you start on a job in Mile End?

Small jobs and maintenance lists are usually within the week, sometimes the next day. A room refurbishment or a bathroom is typically two to four weeks out depending on what is already booked. Ring or send photos on WhatsApp and you will get honest dates rather than optimistic ones.

Is the quote for a job in Mile End free?

Yes, and nothing is attached to it. Somebody comes out to Mile End, looks at the job, talks through what you actually want at the end of it, and you get a price for the work. There is nothing to pay until the work is done and you are happy with it.

Can you work around a tenant or a managing agent in Mile End?

Yes, and a fair amount of the work in Mile End is exactly that: landlords, letting agents and managing agents. We can work to a list, arrange access with a tenant, keep to permitted working hours in a block and send photos of what has been done so the person paying does not have to travel to check.
