Can I tell you something funny? - For the past three years we've been showering like the French: crouched in a bathtub and hoping not to slip while soaping up. Why on earth, you probably ask yourself, are we still doing this in the 21st century? - Well, the grouting in our upstairs shower room was in a real bad condition and so water leaked through the ceiling. And we never really got around fixing it: 1) because we love to procrastinate and 2) we just didn't know a good tiler.
However, now that we've decided to leave London and rent out our flat, we had to address this situation ASAP. We spoke to various friends about their experiences with tilers and finally one of them gave us the number of Danny from Sidcup Tiling. Our friend said that Danny and his team had done a really nice job fixing their shower, when they had a similar problem a while back. (More people crouching in bathtubs?)
We called up Danny and made an appointment with him to assess the situation. He and his workmate arrived at the agreed time, which is for me a very good sign - being German I value punctuality very much. Also, when I showed them the "damage", they suggested a fix that was very much in line with what we had envisioned and researched; another bonus point. So, now it was down to agree on a price and also order the tiles. Danny called me back a few days later with an estimate and we accepted that. I then placed an order for our chosen tiles at Fired Earth in Marylebone and the work could begin.
In the end, we were very happy with the result. Additionally, we enlisted Danny to also fix other things in the house, such as patching up a ceiling and painting the entire ceiling, as well as changing the noisy fan in the shower. All of these tasks were executed at a level of high quality. Overall, I can highly recommend Danny's services. While he's not a many of many words, he will get it done. read more
