Hello

I would also like to add my recommendation for Wayne after finding him on the forum. Wayne was on time and completed a professional full interior and exterior valet with an excellent eye for detail. I can highly recommend the team.

Hello

I would echo the comments above. I had Lucy Sparkles for my sons 5th birthday. She came in a fantastic superhero costume and entertained over 30 children giving all the parents plenty of time to chat! The certificates and sparkles at the end were highly appreciated by all the children.

Hi

I would recommend Sam Fowler, very thorough and reliable 07827667560.

Thank you, I think there will be between 80 - 100 people so I am not keen on doing it ourselves as I think it will be challenging. So any recommendations would be really appreciated.

Hello

I am hoping to have a big BBQ in September for a celebration and was looking for some recommendations of people who might be able to run the BBQ for me. I am planning on doing sausages, lamb burgers, spatchcock chicken and something for the vegetarians.

Thanks

Anita

I also use them, they are really thorough and efficient. Great find!

Hello

Many thanks

Hello

My Polish au pair is looking to meet some other nannies / au pairs area to explore London and socialise.

She has only been in the UK for 2 weeks and is settling in well. Her English is quite good and she is very friendly just quite apprehensive about exploring alone.

Please PM me if you are interested in meting her.

Many thanks

Anita

Thank you Rabaya for my fantastic mani and pedi. Very relaxing and enjoyable. The manicure lasted much longer than any I have had previously. I will text you regarding my next appointment.

I have used Hamish and he was very good.

I have also used Graham a few times from benton arboriculture, he was excellent and more competitive. Tel 07762782134 / 01737360448

I understand your sentiment. I have been renovating for much longer than I anticipated due to bad builders and workmen. The challenge is it is really difficult to determine who are genuinely good. Initially most tradespeople come across professional but it is typically half way through the job that you tend to encounter the issues.

I do use the forum a great deal for recommendations and have had a mixed experience. I have found some excellent trade?s people who I go onto recommend and others who have not lived up to their praise. Some have suggested I post review and as with Peckhampam I only do if I truly felt I would recommend them to family or friends.

Hello

We are almost (!) coming to the end of our mammoth renovation and are now working on the outside. I am looking for recommendations of companies who supply good quality grass (my husband thinks we can lay it ourselves?). We did think about laying seed but have been warned against it due to the prevalence of cats and foxes in the area digging up the seeds resulting in a patchy finish, but happy for some advice relating to this.

Thanks in advance

Anita

Hello

Thanks in advance

Hello

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a company to advise on our AV installation.

We have an electrician who has run some of the required cables but have only just been made aware that this requires more specialist intervention.

Many thanks

Anita

Thanks for the tip I will certainly try it out.

I thought it was a long shot but you just never know!

Hello

I am looking for some help with my home and children but a little apprehensive with having someone living with us 24/7. My husband works full time and I work 4 days a week. Ideally we would like someone living with us Mon - Thursday to:

- help get the children ready in the morning, give them breakfast ready for us to drop at nursery (from September this will include one child being dropped off and pick up from school)

- 3-3.5 hours daily domestic chores - cleaning, washing, ironing, cooking for the children

- pick up children from nursery at 5.30 feed and bath ready for bed (giving us flexibility to be late home)

- one nights babysitting (mon or Tue or Wed)

- Typically I think we need 5-6 hours a day mon - thurs although I am flexible on times and duration

I am happy to provide board, food, expenses etc. in addition to salary during this time. I need to flexibility of having someone around in case we are late so structured daily hours are difficult.

Does anyone have an arrangement like this and know how I can find this help or am I being unrealistic and I should try an au pair who would fit most of the criteria above.

Thanks

Anita

I am looking for someone to make a plaster moulded dado rail and picture rail to be fitted along a curved wall. I am also looking for victorian coving to be supplied and fitted. Any recommendations would be really helpful

Many thanks
