Hello, I?m looking to get my empty house deep cleaned before moving back in post build. Does anyone have any companies that they would recommend? Thanks

Gerry fixed my leaky toilet cistern last week. I'd thoroughly recommend him. He came round nice and early so I could still get to work on time and when I sent a picture of the cistern he went and got the spare part so he could fix it in one visit. A lovely chap (important when you?re inviting strangers into your home) and very reasonably priced. Phone number is 07872303925

Definitely recommend Aardvark Sweeps. Gary is fabulous and provides a very clean and efficient service

I cannot recommend Helen and Steve highly enough. They have done an amazing job transforming my retro nana garden into a modern and elegant space that totally cater to my needs, which are, pottering, sunbathing and entertaining. They have done the work in the time and budget discussed at the beginning of the project. They have great ideas, execution and trusted colleagues who they work with. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. I literally couldn't be happier. http://www.gardenia-gardens.com

I have to get my gutters relined so want to take advantage of having to put scaffolding up. I would like to have the back of the house painted and some of the render made good and have the gutters painted front and back. Any recommendations welcomed for decorators or scaffold companies.

Can anyone recommend a builder to help with sorting some damp / general issues? I need a french drain at the back of my property and the concrete drainpipes also need some attention. The pebble dash render is also looking a bit bald in spots so might also need some attention. Thanks

this thread is hilarious and sums SE22 up perfectly. If I had kids I'd probably be in the pub by midday as well. I don't mind your kids in the pub as long as you don't mind me swearing like a Geordie dock worker near them. If they are screaming they probably want something so attend to them. Then we can all live in harmony and I look forward to seeing at some point in the future, a generation who can genuinely state that they have been drinking at the Bishop since they were babies.

They have croissants the same size as my head. I love it.

45. I only see the man who barks at busses on Lordship Lane if I catch the late bus. He should get up earlier.

regardless of the size of her arse, she is an idiot for walking around her own constituency in a stab proof vest, it's a school boy error.

...apparently you need them for walking around Peckham and Camberwell! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7323958.stm

some of the handbags that they had in the old shop are cheaper in Selfridges. They have some lovely clothes though.

What about the Constitutional Club? ?2 per plastic glass of wine. If it can't be included my vote will have to go to the Vale!

All Bar One "insert name here" and Firkin

I love in n out burger! reminds me of happy LA days, we defo need one of those, good work Ben.

I'd like to see 3 x starbucks (they come in 3's!) anne summers HSamuels - fine jewellers Clinton Cards Random cheap clothing shop perhaps called "phat threads". This must smell of an Asian sweat shop. You know you're in an up and coming area when these shops are present

don't the pubs have an obligation as part of their licence to stop serving the severely pissed? In Australia all bar staff have to take a responsible service of alcohol course before they can work in a bar and they will not serve you if they think you're to drunk.

Brilliant! This is my absolute favourite subject (joint first with house prices). It seems amazing that if you voice anything but absolute tolerance of being screamed at by 1 yr olds while trying to enjoy an afternoon pint then you are a child hating monster. I get that 1 yr olds can hit a pitch that only the juvenile voice box can muster and I get that this cannot often be predicted or controlled by the parent. However for the love of God when your kid has been doing this repeatedly for about 20 minutes it must enter your consciousness at some level that the people around you might not be finding this as cute as you are. Maybe it?s time to take little Oscar or India outside for a few minutes for the remainder of the tantrum!
