Thank you!

Managed to find an electrician but because of appalling job kitchen fitter did the first challenge is to remove all the units and appliances and splashback so the electrician can do the rewiring.

Any recommendations for someone who can dismantle and then rebuild a kitchen?!

Does anyone know of a good person/company that could do over a front garden? Sort of thing would be lawn to patio with some built in bedding troughs.

I used a bloke called Harry Shore a couple of years ago. Did a good job. Based in Herne Hill I think. 07985 434080

You could try Carrie Andrews 020 8670 0342. She's in Tulse Hill

Just to say I highly recommend Carrie. She fixed our toilet flush last year (more complicated than it sounds).

Does anyone know of a spray booth where we could paint a door and leave it overnight to dry?

It has a high gloss finish and the slightest dust is showing up all over.

Crispy ?

ETA sorted, thanks.

 

[janinious]

Could anyone recommend a gardener
again? I tried Tony Lee but he failed to show, then when I rang said he forgot and now couldn't come. Any other ideas please?

I'd also recommend Tony Lee

Thanks Rushy. The lovely Joel has just been and done a great job on the windows. He was prompt, polite and I think good value.

And I realise now how grubby my windows were - I can see colours outside now and everything!

Hi again

Any recommendations for a local upholsterer? I have two large sofas which are looking a bit tired..... (I know how they feel, maybe I could get myself done at the same time!)

thanks

i want to hire a skip for a few days. has anyone got any experience of hiring one in south london. how much it was? cheers

 

[big_dave]

Does anyone know a tradesman / handyman that would come and clear out all the junk in my loft and take it to the skip?

Any junk will do that and recycle as much as possible but it isn't the cheapest option. For just some local bloke you're probably best of with a card in the newsagent window?

 

[Manter]

Anyone know a decent accountant around here? Company accounts.

I used to use Bill Mantz on Brixton Hill.

(Yes, I know I shouldn't be reading this forum any more, but old habits and that.)

Thank you! Just what I was looking for

To be fair any junk are very good- came and collected a big pile from me today, and I like the fact it will be recycled. And they tend to quote higher then it costs- so they quoted 4 yards +electrical fee and I eventually paid 2 yards +electrical fee.

Can see why people fly tip though*- it isn't cheap getting rid of rubbish

*well, I can't, it's fucking disgusting and you just have to build waste disposal into your budget

 

[nagapie]

Manter, will anyjunk collect rubble?
