Second that. We're half way through having ours done and Steve and his team have been a delight to have around. Hard working, punctual and very tidy. Job not finished yet but I can see that they're doing a very professional job.

I can also recommend Lorraine @ SE22 Piano School. Long established in Dulwich and has probably taught hundreds of students. Lorraine is also very involved with Piano Festivals, Recitals and music charities. Brilliant teacher!

Another recommendation for AJ. See above

Second Joe Runcak. He built some lovely wardrobes for us. Works fast and tidy and does a brilliant job. Highly recommended!

Another kids party activity worth considering is the T-Shirt printing and Splash Painting @ http://capturedontherye.com we had a party there for our 6 year old and a bunch of his friends and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots to keep them occupied and Lou who runs it was brilliant. Highly recommended!

Definitely worth being a member of FoDPG. Always have great exhibitions and it seems to be going from strength to strength. They could do with more younger members too! Here's some photo's from the Whistler and Hockney shows. http://flic.kr/s/aHsjUsjpXy

I can highly recommend Bruggemeyers in Herne Hill. 99 Herne Hill, London SE24 9LY - Tel: 0207 274 6182 They've sorted me out no end. https://sites.google.com/site/bruggemeyersosteopath/

Thanks Huggers. He's got a really good eye and his prices are cheaper than shops as he buys and sells from home. If you're looking for a specific cabinet, sofa, table or chair he'll find it for you. Another good site is http://junkdeluxe.co.uk/

My brother-in-law sources and supplies Danish Furniture. I've bought 2 sofas from him in the past. Here's his Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/rosewoodandteak (based in North London)

Check out the the very talented chef Corinne who runs http://www.thymeandplace.co.uk/ local, lovely and delicious.

Second Bare Groove. Seen them play several times. They really know how to get a crowd up and dancing - brilliant!

Good luck Mark. I hope it's a big success. I think a venture like yours can only be a positive thing for the area, informing people about local issues.

Second this. We had a paint spinning and T-shirt printing birthday party here for our 6 year old and his friends (10 in total). They loved it!! Lou who runs it is brilliant with the children and a couple of parents helped with stencils for the screen printing. Definitely recommend this if you're looking for something different and fun. Our spin paintings are framed and up on the wall! Edited to add link http://capturedontherye.com/

Hi Sophie congratulations. Id like to recommend myself! Website and Blog - http://www.lorenzophotography.co.uk Testimonials - http://www.lorenzophotography.co.uk/reviews/ Thanks Loz

I've bought 2 cars from CG over the years and have no complaints. It's like getting a flight with Ryanair, don't expect any frills. Each time I test drove and checked out 4 cars in the category I was interested in until I was happy. Went for lowish mileage and one previous owner. Didn't buy any CG 'extras' and bought a tax disc on the way home. Both cars have given me many miles over the years without any issues and I'd have to say that overall it's good value for money. I should also add that reliability can vary with the make and model of car or you could just be unlucky. I stay away from French cars and prefer German engineering, but that's just me. (I don't work for or have any connection to Car Giant).

Try the excellent and local Amanda Roberts http://www.hairandmakeup4u.com/

TT try John at http://www.djforme.co.uk/ Failing that Jah's your man, I think he's from that era ;)

Just want to say a big thank you and a Happy New Year to all the local couples I've photographed in 2013 and a big thanks to all the lovely local venues and their wonderful staff who work so hard to do a top job (Horniman Conservatory, Dulwich Picture Gallery, Dulwich College, Dulwich & Sydenham Golf Club, Beauberry House, The Lido Cafe, The Crooked Well, The Old Nuns Head, The Rosendale) and not forgetting Suzanne James and her team, definitely the best Event Caterers in South London! Look forward to meeting more of you in 2014 x www.lorenzophotography.co.uk East Dulwich based Photographer

Try Gary 07872 178044 very good electrician. Quite popular on here so not sure if he'll be available.

Sorry to hear about your experience on_the_hill. Marvin and his team did an amazing loft job for us several years ago. I have nothing but praise for his professionalism and the end result. We had our wooden floors covered same as Jeremy and had no issue paying for the time cost and materials.

Give Corinne a shout. Exceptional and local. http://www.thymeandplace.co.uk/

We have 2 cats and there are at least half a dozen foxes living next door. They don't trouble the cats and the cats find them quite interesting to watch. I think it's rare that foxes attack cats, much more likely for your cat to have a scrap with another cat. If your cat is still a kitten then probably best to wait a bit until you let it out all night, for peace of mind.

Thanks for the recommendation above. Unfortunately due to the Christmas demand I don't have any more free slots remaining this year. However,it is possible to buy a gift voucher for a Family Photo shoot as a Christmas present and don't forget there is a discount for you if you have a LiveLoveLocal card. http://www.lorenzophotography.co.uk/make-someone-happy-with-a-photo-gift-voucher/ Thank you

Loads of recommendations on the forum for a brilliant carpenter called Greg on 07949 640 999. I've used him many times for doors, cupboards, shelves etc.
