As per the thread regarding "mates rates" I am not really looking for "mates rates" as such, but like the idea of having tradies recommended. In my case we have used our kitchen cabinet maker for nearly 20 years, and sent him lots and lots of work, but he has now retired, so we are lost when it comes to who to chose for kitchens.
Same goes for our trusted pest man who passed away recently. He had an offsider who we have also known for a number of years, and he has started his own business so I will start the ball rolling by putting his name out there. He tells me there are plenty of "good" pest men but we know from recent experience (selling a house) that there are pest men who are simply trying to make lots of money by scaring potential purchasers.
Anyway, our pest man in Brisbane is Wayne Creed who trades as Rifle Pest Management, phone 3273 5881, mobile 0412 489 710.
Perhaps if people add to this, if they state the city or town first so that others can search the thread easily for local tradies.
If someone has a more efficient way of listing these, or making it easier to search the thread (assuming it gets added to) I am happy to hear it.
