who are you talking to exactly or is that your company?
Aren't they based in Birmingham?
Brixton tradesmen recommendations: plumbers, electricians, locksmiths, van drivers etc

So the driver of my streetvan has let me down as his card is no longer valid since they changed to zipcar or whatever it's called. I know have no way to fetch the wardrobe I'm being given on the other side of Brixton. I want to hire a man with a van but not a big moving van like Leno's. Any ideas?

boiler service time again. I lost the number of the guy I was using before and can't find him again.
Anyone used anyone good recently?
I've used James Bartlett for quite a few years - he's a bit of a nerd when it comes to boilers (apparently I have a very rare end of model Puma) and does things like gas safety checks etc, and I think the prices are fair. 07815300089 http://www.bartlett-plumbers.co.uk/

Hardly getting over it.
Hi,
I need a pair of taps removing, and a new pair installing. I've tried doing it myself, but arthritis and peripheral neuropathy in my hands mean I can't really get enough of a grip on the tap spanner to unfasten the (very corroded) nut.
Preferably reasonably-priced too, as I'm an impoverished crip (and before someone says "you're a council tenant, they'll do it!", they won't, taps are the tenant's responsibility).

Plumber, give me mate Jeremy a call, his prices are on his website and are quite reasonable I would say.

I'm not even very handy but if you ever need some brute force applied around the flat pm me mate.

Get three quotes around the town centre and let them know that's what you're doing - bread and butter work, they need it, let them compete on price.

conveyancing solictor anyone? I really need to extend my lease.
I used to work for conveyancing solicitors. Dullest job I ever had.
Sorry, not the response you wanted, just thought I'd share

Hmm, not sure whether my first request fits into this or not:
I need a new laptop power pack thing for an Acer laptop. The Curry's website doesn't seem to have anything less than £50.
Is there anywhere else in Brixton? I'm not sure whether the Games place opposite the new TK Maxx does that sort of thing?

And the next one - a carpet fitter for SW2. How much do they cost? Some friends have recommended the place under the awnings on Atlantic Road...

Can't you order from ebay?
My lead went on my Samsung and I got a new one from Ebay for around £10

While you're there you might as well ask the phone guy at the entrance of BV if he so happens to do laptop chargers.

I can't recommend it but the first arch on Atlantic Road (from Brixton Rd) does 'laptop repairs' - as well as being a minicab office

Cos I'm silly and have left it to the last minute when I knew it was starting to go flaky. Came home from a weekend away to find it not charging. No laptop means no TV, and I was half way through a Summer Heights High marathon. Boo.

Hmm, sort of. Went to that place London Calling recommended, under the awnings on Atlantic Road who were great. However the bloke in front of me bought their last universal adaptor just as I was walking in. Very friendly and helpful; they've ordered more stock for me.
Argos had nothing under £50 and the other phone shops don't sell them. I had to power up and old mac where half the keyboard doesn't work and watch things that didn't include the letter 'l' instead.

So if you'd ordered off ebay yesterday, it'd probably be with you tomorrow

But then I was at work and didn't know the amp / volt things and wanted to check that it wasn't in fact the kettle lead that had gone.

So how much do they charge for a new one in Brixton?

Can't you copy and paste an 'l' from something else.
