I'm needing a chimney breast skimmmed and advice on how much of a bedroom requires replastering.

I've been let down a few times in the last few weeks so I'm really looking for good recommendations.

I've had a look on the Which? Local site and the one with the most favourable feedback is:


Leka Building Specialists

113 Wood End Lane, Northolt, Middlesex, UB5 4JP

Mob: 07723 653699

He seems to be a jack of all building trades but has 10 very good reviews:

Latest review is September 12 so he's still doing the business

Quote:

Valmir repaired bedroom cabinets; re-fitted book case; repaired 2 toilet seats; and even fixed a door handle that he found broken, a task that hadn't been included in quote. High standard of work. Friendly and excellent customer service. Knows his stuff. I would recommend Valmir highly. I will be booking his services again.

Used on: 09-Sep-2012

Valmir fitted our new shower after we had been left with it leaking by another local tradesman.
Valmir was meticulous in his work,all carpets were covered and the area was left clean and tidy at the end of each day.
He was polite and friendly and his work was immaculate.
He worked on a Saturday and Sunday and evenings in order to complete our job before the arrival of some overseas relatives that we had visiting.
He built a complete new wall and provided us with a choice of tiles which he sourced himself.
He takes a pride in his work and I would thoroughly recommend him.

I had a problem with an electric shower. One contractor informed me that there was a problem with the PCB board and that I would need a new shower. After purchasing the shower I contacted Leka to fit it. On investigation it as found that there were loose connections which when fixed solved the problem. Leka provided quick and efficient service and I would certainly use again.



We are based in Gloucestershire and have had really bad experiences that have cost us a lot of money. false promises and then recieved invoices that would shock you for the work carried out. we had enough. so we were talking to a friend who gave us this name valmir. the rest is history.
Valmir came highly recommended for being highly skilled, and can turn his hand to anything !!
As this would be a new challenge for him !! doing up a hair salon rather than a house!
We sat down and he translated to me how he would carry out the job. what materials he required and the costs (no hidden costs).
I wanted a wall tilled brick effect, its that perfect people think its wall paper!! looks amazing!!!
He then rewired my electrical sockets and explained to me with new laws regulations this had to be updated (keeps up to date).
Everything he does he explains and makes you feel part of it and you never feel silly to ask questions !!
One of the heavy mirrors had to come down, as he removed it he noticed there was no bracket holding it together so explained i would need one!

We only had a short time to close between xmas and new year and the work was carried out. he works all hours to get the job finished and still to a very high standard (i am not easy to please !! but i was impressed, no corners cut). accurate when measuring, no wastage.
Very clean and tidy.
Attention to detail and ideas very helpful and he works with you, this is hard to find.
overall i am delighted with the project, love my salon now, loads of compliments on the work!!
if your looking for a true honest professional you have found your man.
The only thing i would say is he is very passionate about his angles and he won't do anything less than 110%, real pride in his work.
Thanks valmir, i know who to call for my next refit.


Mr Leka redesigned our bathroom which entailed removing the bath and replacing it with a shower and re-tiling the walls. He has also redecorated two bedrooms, the hallway and staircase and has also done work in our kitchen. He is an extremely pleasant person and his work (and tidying up before he leaves for the day!) is excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Leka.


Viali completed several major projects on my home to an excellent standard 2008-2010 including:

- new lighting, shelving, wall and audio visual points for projector and screen
- new bathroom including flooring, chrome radiator and shower
- bespoke radiator cover and other carpentry


All the work He has done all around the house was great. He did our shower from scratch as the previous builder had done a very poor job, leading to leakage to our kitchen ceiling downstairs, which Valmir fixed as well.
Few words: Great guy, Great job, Punctual, at a very decent price. Will deffinately use him again in future. Thanks a million

Recommendation of the month nominee. Month 13

Valmir worked in my house between September and March 2011. This was for refurbishment and an extension. I soon found him to be trustworthy, friendly and highly skilled at the many jobs which were required. This included plumbing, carpentry, plastering and wallpapering.

I was particularly impressed with his tiling of my bathroom. It was a complex task due to the small size of the tiles and the patterns required. The different coloured tiles I had bought did not match in dimension but Valmir patiently cut them to size so that everything matched.

Valmir is a perfectionist which is why I am very pleased with the quality of his work. My house is in Harrow. If you would like to view his work then I would be happy to give a tour!


We have used Valmir to install a new bathroom for us in our home and we were very pleased with hes approach, time keeping and sugestiones he had in helping us get our design right.We were both working at the time and we handed him the keys from day one as we felt he was completely trustworthy.
Valmir completed the work in time and even thou the design changed he accommodated for that and didn't increase hes price.
We would highly recommend Valmir to anyone without hesitation.


In July 2007, I had recently moved into my first house and it needed a bit of doing up. Nervous of using the phone directory to look up random builders, I asked around at work and a colleague recommended Valmir. He came round as promised, gave a quote and was able to give me a start date. I decided to do up the house room by room, starting with the dining room. It needed:-
-stripping of the wallpaper
-stripping back to the brick of the old, crumbling plaster
-replastering and finishing all walls
-laying a wooden floor (laminate)
-replacing old, cracked skirting boards with new ones
-fresh paint walls and ceiling

The quote was excellent and I gave him the go-ahead to start. Whilst he was working a few things happened. I decided to also have an old gas fireplace removed from the dining room and got the local gas fitter to come around. The fitter discovered that the old boiler was leaking and condemned it. My blood ran cold, I had saved up enough money for the decorating but this new boiler etc was going to really expensive, where would I start? Anyway, the gas fitter gave me a quote and I said I would think about it. Valmir, being in the trade, told me he had worked with a fitter before and could get him round to do a second quote. Anyway, Valmir used his contacts to get me an excellent price on a new boiler and radiators and convinced the gas man (his friend) to take payment over 3 months as a favour to me. Don't worry, I checked the CORGI etc and all was kosher. Anyway, the work went on and Valmir made a few suggestions eg the copper pipes running up the wall he could box in and paint so it would improve the aesthetics...little things like that which I had not even considered. Long story short, we were very happy with his quality and price so when we decided to do up the upstairs bedrooms in 2010, he was the first one we gave a call to and are still very pleased with the work he did.
