PLEASE NOTE:
Phone now back in use thanks to the regulator finally getting to grips with 02 apologies for any inconvenisnce to yourselves:

Dear customers,due to a dreadful situation regarding a fraudulent and dreadfully inept issue following a forced migration from Virgin to 02 of my long time Mobile number I have been without a network connection,this is currently with the communications ombudsman on my behalf. If you need to contact me please could you either email me on [email protected] and/or message/call via WhatsApp on 07983979502 (usual number) and when I'm connected to WiFi (evenings/some customers) I will be able to pick these messages up and respond in the same way. I'm really am very sorry for the inconvenience which is totally beyond my control due to the malicious behaviour of 02 in taking monet for two phone numbers since this migration,one of which I have no knowledge of whatsoever and have stopped that direct debit whilst continuing to pay for my long time existing number. I'm having to patiently wait for the investigation by the ombudsman to be complete to resolve this I have requested my PAC code from 02 many times from 02 but they are consistently ignoring these requests to prevent me from taking my existing number to a competent and non fraudulent network provider at this time.
Thank you for your understanding,I will update this message soon as there is a change.
Yours sincerely,
Neil Durrant

Finally completed a bathroom for a lovely (talented) lady 4 years after literally rebuilding the bath/shower area due to a poor install which left timbers rotten and tiles falling off. Tricky basin unit install which literally had to be taken apart and adapted to get over the stairwell running up through the bathroom floor. New ideal standard Tempo wc suite and Hib Led mirror with charging socket (not the cheapest but see far to many cheap Internet versions fail within 2/3 years) . Reboarded floor in plywood ready for new cushion floor vinyl to be fitted by the always excellent Louis Kean of Kean flooring Ltd. New chromed brass towel rail which doesn't rust (aka Screwfix/b & q etc,they are cheap for a reason turkish steel and a genuine waste of your money!! Finished off with a very striking waterproof blind to the window,well cosen by the client who will now be engaging her decorator to complete matters. A client who is keen to pay as well upon completion unlike "some" other old "friend" who instructed me to carry out work in writing but then,with no complaint,simply doesn't want to pay and that's now with a collection agency,just very annoying when you cant trust people youve known your entire life......trust works both ways!
P.S. Some pics of this lady's upholstery work which she carries out in her workshop,literally not a piece of furniture she can't turn into something exquisite and has her work going all over the world,watching her work is pure artistry,please take a look at the last pictures,she's very talented. Thank you Andrea Hill 🙂 x

Completion of a new En-suite refurbishment at Stoke Holy Cross for Mr & Mrs Davie's. The house is only 4 years old but due to repeated installation issues,an all to common issue with new house shower room installs especially,the clients made the decision to completely remove everything and start again which involved installing recommended products such as Mira Showers and Ideal Standard sanitaryware along with a Merlyn shower enclosure (sound advice to never buy cheap online enclosures,they invariably fail) to avoid past issues,additional storage and more wall tiling as well as a tiled floor set on a new base. All the works carried out by ourselves with the exception of decorating,this included "rebuilding" the inadequate metal framed walls to the shower area and lining in marine plywood....the cause of many of the previous issues. N.B. A professional camera with a wide angled lense is on the agenda ! 👍

New main Bathroom refurbishment completed today for a valued regular and lovely elderly lady in Cringleford. New Mira Excell shower (most reliable and effective mains fed shower I've fitted over many years) ,Coram Premier offset quadrant cubicle and shower tray with beneath floor drainage so it could be set flush on the floor for easy access to replace the existing Bath .Woodstock Burgundy units complete with Ideal Standard sanitaryware and a "non slip" vinyl flooring as requested. Been on and off this one as had to sqeeze it in between existing works so many thanks to Mrs Carr for her patience 👌. It's your new build En-suite to a finish now Lee Lee Utting 😘

Another shower room refurbishment carried out for Mr & Mrs Morrison at River Heights apartments,Riverside,Norwich to follow on from the recent Bathroom refurbishment for the same client. This required extensive floor repairs due to a poorly fitted existing shower cubicle set up to include acoustic insulation and fire retardant boarding to both floor and damaged walls. All tiling is carried out on Marine Ply walls,a much better and longr lasting option to tiling on Plasterboard. The sanitaryware is Ideal Standard "Tempo" complete with Woodstock Calypso moisture resistant basin unit and Calystone worktop.....a far preferable option to fitting laminate chipboard worktops which are certainly cheaper but have a limited lifespan in such areas. Shower is a Mira Coda Pro ERD with a 5 year warranty,in my opinion Mira are simply unbeatable where showers are concerned and provide a long term customer support that you simply wont find with any of the cheaper and inferior internet showers. New LED lighting with extraction fan system and tiles all supplied by Ceramic Tile Distributors,Norwich,excellent company and a great range of products. For all enquiries please feel free to contact myself either through this page or via the email/telephone numbers at the top of the page. Numerous recommendations available upon request and a start to finish service if requested,all works carried out in house by qualified and reputable tradesmen.

Main bathroom refurbishment completed for Mr & Mrs Morrison at Riverside Apartments after refurbishing their En-Suite just previous. Lots of water damage to walls and floor due to previous tiling issues and a poor quality Bath(always a false economy). Bath was reversed to allow future access to taps and waste due to new fitted units (been there to often 😕) Plasterboard walls replaced in all wet areas with water resister plywood and fire resistant boarding and sealed prior to tiling complete with new Plywood screwed and glued over existing chipboard flooring then tiled. Woodstock Watercresistsnt units with concealed cistern and a "Calypstone" granite effect worktop. Finished off with an Ideal Standard "Tempo" Suite and Bristan brassware. A new central led light with a Cyclone extraction fan unit. Decorating on this one was yet to be carried out by others. Lovely people to work for who then also requested new kitchen worktops and appliances. Please call numbers above or email with any enquiries . Neil durrant

Complete bathroom refurbishment one of many completed recently,for Mr & Mrs Powell in Catton. All the walls were constructed of "Strammit" (compressed straw) board so had to be re boarded entirely in Marine ply and secured with chemical fixings to allow for full tiling in large format tiles. Existing leaking soil pipes under floor replaced as well so lots of preparation work on this one. All sanitaryware was quality Ideal Standard "Tempo" with a new Mira thermostatic diverter shower valve. Replastered ceiling with LED lightening and extraction fan.Very appreciative clients which always makes for a happy Plumber . Free estimates upon request and recommendations available ☺

It's bathroom refurbs all the way at mo. Finally completed this one last week for a landlord who is also a good regular. Place was in a poor state,leaking pipes in the floor,damp and very dated. Only a small room but made the best of it I think and tenants happy to say the least. Hell of a lot of work in this one for a small room,complete with Mira diverter shower with drench head,new drainage and all new pipework beneath the tiled floor which was extended into the Lobby. As always quality Ideal Standard fittings. Thanks to Jess and Joe for coping with living in this,hope you feel it's been worthwhile. Please call or message for a free quotation,advice and design.
