I recommended Colin on another post. I have used him over the years for many jobs, big (he saved my bacon when my bathroom ceiling was flooded, arranging other workman to help as well) and small,(putting up blinds and trellis.) He is lovely to have around, trustworthy and his quotes are good.

Colin has done lots of work for me over the years since I've been in East Dulwich and he's been great. He's very reasonably priced, does a great job and always arrives when he promises to. I would thoroughly recommend Colin for any job. He's also a nice bloke:) Ed

I can also recommend Colin. He's done many different jobs for me over the last few weeks - painting, fixing my fence, hanging picture etc - and everything has been great. He's a lovely guy and reliable. He prices are reasonable.

Colin is great!!!! Over the years he has done many jobs in my flat including painting, carpentry and fitting roof insulation. If he can't do the job himself he always knows a man who can! He is very friendly and trustworthy and produces quality work at an excellent price. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the area.

Colin worked over the Bank Holiday weekend to put up some shelves, repair and paint some warderobe doors and fix a small plumbing issue. Very pleased with his work and was a pleasure to deal with.

Very happy to recommend Colin too. He has done several jobs for us over the years too - most notably repairing a broken fence which turned into a bit of a nightmare job. But he plugged away at it and refused to charge any extra. Very honest and hardworking, definitely give him a call!

Just wanted to add our recommendation too. Colin recently fitted a cat flap for us and took care of everything efficiently. He sourced the wood, cut it to size, painted it and swapped out a really tricky glass panel in the door it was going into. Throughout he was friendly, patient and helpful. Super value too! During the process the glass (which had been fitted too tightly) got broken. Colin cleared everything up, sourced and replaced the glass (again cut to size) at no cost and has offered to refit the glass when we move out (we're tenants) for free. We'll definitely use him again for any odd jobs we have.

My mum's asked me to log on and add her recommendation for Colin (she's not on EDF). She's over in Brixton and had used him a few times and always says how great he is. Since he was recommended to her by a friend a couple of years ago she's called him when she needed him to do things like putting up a stair rail, putting up hooks, putting together furniture and sorting out other odd jobs around her house. She says he's always totally reliable, honest and fair, does a great job, doesn't make any fuss about fiddly little jobs and is a really nice guy.

Another recommendation for Colin-he has reassmebled a wardrobe for us. We asked for a Friday morning early slot and he kindly obliged and was on the doorstep promptly at 0800hrs ..offered a very resonable price and once again did a fantastic job.

I am happy to recommend Colin for any jobs you need doing in the house or garden. Colin fixed a garden fence that had blown down in the recent high winds and mended a side gate for us. All very reasonably priced and a good neat job.

This is the most unreliable man. He has mucked us about no end and has left us in a pickle meaning that we can't now have our work done before our open day. He shows no remorse and his excuse for mucking us about so much was 'I don't fancy it today'. I would never ever ask this man to do anything again. Absolutely fuming

We've used Colin on numerous occassions - he laid patio down in our front and back garden; and he's also done a number of decorating jobs on a couple of flats that we rent out. he is good value, incredibly nice and (most important of all!) very reliable! Definitely reccomend

Sorry but I'm calling BS on this post. Sounds like you were the one expecting him to be at your beck and call, and can't understand that his life and schedule don't revolve around you.


Colin was round on Saturday morning for me, was super flexible time wise and got all the jobs done in no time at all.


So another thumbs up for Colin. I'll definitely be using him again in the near future and can't recommend him highly enough. 99% positive reviews can't be wrong......

No actually, wrong again. He moved his time and days around three times and I actually accommodated him by coming back to my property before going to the airport which was never my original plan, to only find a couple of hours before he was due he said he didn't fancy coming..

So enough with the BS comments, I'm just saying what happened. I thought he was good because of all of the comments but was left in a mess before going on holiday. Not good.

    • Hi my mum has a lovely frenchi Teo   he needs to be walked , as mum (80) is a bit fragile . he is a lovely dog , a bit nervous when around other dogs . Mum lives in Rast Dulwich . how much do you charge ?  
    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!
