Looking for architect recommendations to help with a small project please. Thanks Lindsay

Hi On the old forum, I could see where people endorsed the tradesperson, which gave me huge confidence in using them in fact also took up references for some and I also have my number as a referee if they were good or posted a “beware” notice if they weren’t (ie did a runner). Now - how do I do this please? I’m all for going local for an electrician but not if it means burning the house down! Thanks Lindsay

My lovely au pair?s best friend is coming to London (from now) until end of July and is looking for an au pair position. Please PM me if you are interested and I can put you in touch or text me on 07753316373. By the way I have met Klara and she is super nice, helpful, was great with our 9 year old daughter and her English is really good. Lindsay

Just an endorsement for Mark and the girls cricket at DCC. Our daughter loves it.

I have been meaning to post a quick message about KJ to go take away for such a long time. Food is fab, fresh and reasonable. If you like Thai food highly recommend. We are huge fans and have been for years now. Nothing in it for me at all recommending by the way .... just think they deserve a post! Number is 0207 737 2372 Lindsay

A rave review for Tina. She has made new blinds for our whole house and is simply great. Reasonable, speedy, professional - super. Feel lucky to have found her via the EDF. Lindsay

Hi Do you have Dave the drains guy's telephone please?

Have looked and looked all over for somewhere local to Herne Hill / Dulwich for thread vein removal and chances on Ice Clinic in Beckenham. Really reasonable (compared to private) ?65 for session and apparently it also works on pigmentation, rosacea, leg veins etc. Amy Stevenson was the contact there and her number is 0208 650 9595. She said she?s even offer a discount if you mention the EDF. Highly recommended!

A 5 bed terraced house available immediately to rent unfurnished (there are however 2 beds) for ?1600 a month. The reason the rent is so low is that it is basic, but it has been tenanted for the past 8 years by university students so everything works (ie heating, boiler etc). Call me or PM if keen?

Hi, my son started a new school in Sept and all the boys are football mad. My son has the enthusiasm but is constantly put in goal and he lacks some of the core basic skills and understanding of the game. He doesn't want to join a big group at this stage - so I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get some fun one-to-one football lessons (near Herne hill / Dulwich) just to get him up to a point where he can play with the others in his class. Thanks. Lindsay

Has anyone seen or heard from Greg? He started our job but it needs re-doing completely and now, over 3 weeks later he is not returning calls, emails and we have an unfinished path, that has been done incorrectly and not as we wanted and we cannot track him down. Worrying. Greg - as per my texts I would really appreciate it if you reply and finish the job. Dan at Mosaic tiles has been super helpful however.

I have used Adrian for years now to clean our carpets - he is excellent, reasonable, thorough, flexible and very personable. Highly recommended for any carpet cleaning job big or small. Lindsay

Hi Paul Are you free soon to build up a front garden wall? My number is 07753316373 Please do call me Thanks Lindsay

Just having coffee in new deli / bakery on Red Post Hill... At the top (not the Velo shop end) SE24. Called Christopher's. Amazing breads, cakes, meat platters etc Really lovely to have somewhere new and fresh!

Can anyone recommend a bridge teacher please (private at home if possible). Thanks.

Can anyone recommend someone to do a gas safety check for me please at a reasonable cost. Its for a two bed flat in North Dulwich. Thanks Lindsay

Did you find any 'recommended local fitters'? Thanks Lindsay

We are embarking on some building works - for us they are pretty extensive (side return, take out chimneys, new kitchen etc). Can anyone recommend a builder who is of a good / high standard but yet still reasonable please? We have some quotes in already but most of these come from builders who are used to working in Clapham, Fulham, Chelsea, Wandsworth and so I just question if they are inflating the cost. Thanks.

Has anyone got a recommendation for a fun football or rugby 'class' for my little man (4 years old) please? Actually he is still 3 - he'll be 4 in June We are in Herne Hill but don't mind jumping in the car if he enjoys it. Probably weekends better as he is at school most days. Thanks for any help Lindsay

If anyone is looking for a roofer / someone to fix guttering. Nick (Abbey Roofing) is excellent, reasonable, totally reliable and really nice. Everyone else wanted to put up scaffolding and charge a fortune - he didn't. He put up a ladder and got on with it. He has done a large job and a small job for us - both really thorough. I wish I had a Nick equivalent for my plumbing and odd jobs! Nick's number is 07966285679. Lindsay
