I wonder if you could help please? My parents, Gill and Peter Simpson are despairing about being let down time & time again by tradespeople. They have been promised people to come to put in a new radiator &, look at lights in their living which have gone dim. Their summer house roof and felt has now blown off and requires repair. They also require help in the garden and for odd jobs.
I wonder if you could put a request for help with the above please but tradespeople need to be reliable and be able to do the job well!
I realise that many people are in this situation but they are becoming very anxious about this and are struggling especially with the light situation. I live up in Cumbria and have asked on Facebook for recommendations but have only managed to find substandard tradespeople.
Thanks so much in anticipation

Help Needed

Jackie we do have a list of local businesses on this page, I don’t know if you have tried those. I think many are part time or semi retired now. Sadly I think that many people find themselves in the same situation as your parents – there is too much work and tradesmen become overcommitted. I know this blog is only meant to support local business but perhaps they might consider opening a new page for out of village business recommendations. There is clearly a need.
Jackie, if there is anything an unqualified but helpful dogsbody could do, I’d be delighted to help, Your parents are amazing. xxx Cleaning, laundry, basic gardening, errand running. My email is DebbieWebster@btinternet.com
