I contacted Leon last Saturday morning as my oven had broken on Friday night. He responded straight away and came that afternoon. He managed to find a workaround to get my oven working safely straight away but advised on a spare part that I'll need to get in the longer term. He was punctual, efficient and knowledgable, highly recommended.

Hi - I need a catflap fitting in my kitchen door - think due to the narrow door panel the pane of glass will need replacing and have wood in the bottom third with the cat flap in and glass in the top 2/3. Is this something you'd be able to do?

Also highly recommend Niko. He came up with a creative solution to what was going to be a very expensive shower fix. He saved me lots of money and disruption and shower works brilliantly. was also punctual, good comms etc

Moving jobs and new office is in Victoria (well near the Tate on the river) - seem to be various options for cycling routes - any recommendations of best way to go? (am reasonably confident cyclist, don't need to go a really long way round to avoid busy routes, cycle up Bishopsgate daily currently but would prefer quiet/ scenic route if not adding much distance) Thanks

I have varnished floorboards in my living room and varnish has worn away in lots of parts. I've tried to repair myself but totally messed it up with the colour match and now it's all patchy..... Really don't want to have to redo the whole floor would like some expert help doing an interim repair job please

Thanks Pugwash, I will try that. I reported it to the police who weren't interested
