Hello Everyone!
I have just moved into the area so thought I would advertise my services. I am a specialist PAINTER AND DECORATOR with 9 years of experience. I have worked on beautiful old historical buildings, churches, The Shard, The Savoy and more but LOVE working on peoples homes too. I can also consult on colour choice, quality of paints etc or mix cheaper paints to match more expensive shades that you might desire. My boyfriend is also an electrician if anyone is looking for one of those! Oh and I somehow know A LOT of chippies (carpenters) if you need any recommendations. Don't hesitate to call, happy to help! 07 545 161 805 Julia

But the thread title is 'recommendations.' If you just want to advertise yourself, please post in the Brixton Noticeboard forum.Hence why I said " advertise my services"

The thread is for recommendations. Not adverts.

Can anyone recommend a place where I can get new clips put on a satchel type bag? I have been to a couple of shoe-repair cobbler type places, but they say they can't do it. Some sort of leather work person? Or a more specialist cobbler and leather bag place? I have the new clips, I just want them put on each end of the leather strap in place of the hopeless clips supplied.

Good idea!

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
Queeny. Tried her for first time recently. Good.
Not Brixton but judging by your name it could be convenient for you, there is a shoe maker on kennington Road at the end of the row of shops opposite the park. I can't remember the name but the shop is orange. He advertises handbag and leather repairs.

How have I missed that?! Sounds ideal! Thank you. And if not - Queenie in Reliance Arcade.

Can anyone recommend a good, reliable gardener for some landscaping work in Brixton please? I've used Acer before and I think they were pretty good - anyone used them recently? Anyone else you can recommend?

The RHS Young Garden Designer of the Year 2013 is based in central Brixton.
Unfortunately, he spent a couple of hours with me talking about planting and I never heard from him again! I think my project was a bit too small for him.

Who can blame him.

I would recommend Tony Lee - has done a great job on my garden (both hard and soft landscaping) over the years. I think he's also worked for a few other Urbs.

Looking for a quality locksmith to fit a secure and pref hefty Chubb lock on a bedroom door - until now with no lock fitted on it.
Thanks in advance - and any ideas on what is a competitive price for both labour and parts much appreciated.

Is it worth asking a couple of those handyman on a bike type services for a quote?
I'd have thought they could estimate more common jobs like this over the phone or by email for you?
It will probably be cheaper buying the parts yourself, if you know what you are after. Screwfix is a good place to browse what's a vailable.

And toolstation for a slightly cheaper clone of screwfix with a lower minimum order for free delivery
