Hello I am looking for somebody to fix an extractor fan that has stopped working in a flat I let out in East Dulwich. Please PM me if you can help or post details of anyone you can recommend. Thanks

Please drop me a line with details of your rates if you're available for work in the next day or two at a flat in East Dulwich. My tenants are unable to get any hot water. Thanks.

Did this route for years and there are limitless options but the quickest is up Dog kennel Hill and take the main road through Camberwell and on to Vauxhall Bridge, then along the Embankment and it doesn't particularly matter which right turn you take then up to Hammersmith. it will depend exactly where you need to go. There are some lovely variations - including the 'four parks' route that takes in Dulwich park, Brockwell park, Battersea Park and Brmopton cemetery. Adds about 10 mins but lovely. Whatever route you do it will be quicker than public transport.

Hello I?m looking for a handy person to do some jobs in a flat I let in East Dulwich. It?s going back on the market and in pretty good condition but I?m hoping someone can tackle some of the issues raised in the inventory check out eg toilet not flushing, removing some scuff marks etc. no heavy lifting required, it?s just working through a list of minor issues. Please let me know if you?re available in the next few days and your rates.

I am a landlord of a property in East Dulwich and I'm looking for an electrician that can carry out an EICR check before the tenancy can be renewed, Please get in touch if you're able to do this over the next few days and let me know how much you would charge. Thanks

I recently needed a flat painting to a tight deadline. Jason Corner, who is on here as Jaypainter, visited the flat to give me a quote, then met me at the property to discuss things in more detail. He completed the job on time to a professional standard and helped me get a few minor repairs done. He was pleasant to deal with and I would have no hesitation recommending him to others.

Jacks, that's it. Thanks for the info. Anyone know when it closed? It was a lovely, unique place.

I used to live on ED and returned last week after 5 years away. The place still looks fab. I tried to find a vintage cafe/ice cream shop that used to be tucked away on a side road off Lordship Lane,somewhere near what is now the Lordship pub. It appeared to have vanished. Does anyone know what it was called and what happened to it? I had some lovely times there when my daughter was little. Thanks

I'm hoping to get some work done on a flat I let in East Dulwich in the second week of July before it is let to new tenants. If anyone knows anyone good and reliable who is available then please message me their details. Thanks.

Are any plumbers available for an urgent job in East Dulwich today? I am trying to resolve a problem for a tenant and have tried my usual guy and two others today but am not getting replies. Thanks.

Hello - I own a property, which is being let out, in Eat Dulwich. I am looking for a local handyman/woman who is able to offer a speedy response to any problems that my tenants bring to my attention. Thanks.

This is a very bad junction but to be fair this is the first one for a while.

Does anyone have any knowledge about how much a 2-bed flat in E Dulwich is likely to fetch for a short-term let over the Olympics, or how to go about finding a potential tenant? There is a lot of hot air about tourists being prepared to pay big bucks to stay here but I have no idea how likely this is.

Come on, the CPT was a right heap! It's my local and I occasionally went but it wasn't very good. Good luck to whoever is investing money into doing it up.

Does anyone know if the trains are running OK from Peckham Rye?

Jo is a star

Well said, Nicholas Spears. Couldn't agree more.

We had a decent meal there Boxing Day. Not great, but perfectly good by pub standards.

I quite like it

From speaking to the staff at the pub I get the impression the idea is a complete non-starter.

Condolences to a fellow East Dulwich Blade

I live in other flats on Underhill Road, closer to Lordship Lane, and agree ?369k is absurd.

James - my partner had a scare yesterday when some kids bombing around on bikes at Goose Green playground narrowly missed colliding with our 18-month old daughter. He was going at quite a pace, which is obviously inappropriate in a playground where tiny children are toddling around. Is there anyone we could take this up with? Thanks.

James - I have just caught up with this thread after being away on holiday and wanted to say thanks for looking into the dumbbell issue. I'm still not sure Fusion is the gym for me but I am grateful to you for taking the matter on and 30kg dumbbells are certainly better than 18kg ones. Monster Gym in Cheshunt has them up to 150kg but that's another story... Fusion is a charity that works in partnership with the council. Presumably the council provided the funds for the refurb... are the profits shared?

Unbelievable... obviously us malcontents are all meat heads whose patronage isn't wanted. Loz - I am a member at Hamlets and quite like it but Fusion is closer and I would have been interested in a joint membership with my partner but there is no way I will even consider it if they don't have decent free weights. 18kg... pathetic. Luxury - I know I have a bee in my bonnet about this. I write about fitness and go to a lot of gyms and this is one of my bugbears. The fact that they have 100 machines and not any decent free weights makes it even worse... couldn't they have 80 machines and some decent free weights? A good all-round fitness programme should include more than cardio (which many of us do outside the gym anyway).
