Builders

Does anyone know of a reliable SW London builder who could prepare a report on why my front garden wall is falling down after less than 2.5 years (!!) and then rebuild it? Thank you.

My husband just chopped up 5 pallets to burn in our chiminea in the garden this Summer. Hope that will be ok! I think it's ridiculous that the delivery companies won't take them back, as they just want to make money selling more pallets to the people ... more »
