Coming on to bump this topic; have just discovered these guys through a recommendation from a friend and OMG they are the BEST. So fast, so efficient, such high quality and totally reasonable - just brilliant. Thanks so much!

Jumping in to add my voice to the chorus of praise for Hussein and the team. We’ve just had them paint our entire three-bed house and couldn’t be happier with the result - it’s gorgeous! They did a great job repairing and prepping the walls, the finish is lovely and the woodwork shiny and smooth. They did their best to minimise disruption; lovely crew and recommend them highly.

Hello, with apologies for reviving this old thread I’m wondering if anyone has any new or updated information to share? My son has an EHCP (ASD) and is starting Year 7 in 2023. We want a resource base place for him but the LA are apparently unable to provide one! The long-talked-about resource base at Charter East is not yet confirmed and so I’m not sure is we should name the school on his EHCP anyway. Any experiences or opinions welcome!

I've posted on this thread before but just wanted to jump on and repeat my recommendation for Paul - he's brilliant! We've just had a new kitchen done and he cleared away the old one and then did another collection at the end of the job. Efficient, reasonably priced, excellent service - couldn't recommend more highly!

Hello, the Horniman Tesco has fuel this morning, long queue down towards Lordship Lane. Nothing at the BP on Stanstead Road. The BP on Kirkdale has fuel, queue stretches back towards Sydenham Hill, moves quite quickly and they were marshalling it all in an orderly fashion!

Hello, I need a person with a van available for a pickup on Friday 13/11 at 1:30pm please. It?s a small table and two chairs, pickup in Greenwich (SE10) and delivery to SE23. Let me know! Thanks, Julie

Hi everyone, I wondered if anyone had any current/up to date recommendations for educational psychologists they could share? For context: my 8 year old son has a diagnosis of Developmental Coordination Disorder (dyspraxia) and we're on the waiting list for an ASD assessment at Sunshine House - which has obviously been delayed indefinitely in the current circumstances. Lockdown and homeschooling has brought a lot of issues to the forefront and I'd like to get him privately assessed over the summer so that we can get the right support in place for the next school year. Recommendations would be very welcome! Many thanks.

Hello, wanted to echo the recommendations for Paul Knight - we had a bunch of garden rubbish, junk, concrete and rubble and he removed it super-quickly and efficiently and for a very reasonable price! Could not recommend him more highly. JLO

Hello, I'm chiming in to add a recommendation for Andy, who built me a shed at very short notice when the shed company let me down! He did a great job - the shed is perfect, the work was quick and tidy and high quality. I'm really pleased with the result and am grateful to Andy for his prompt and efficient service!

Hello, I have a prefab shed purchased from Buy Sheds Direct sitting on a slab in my back garden, and I really need it installed as soon as possible! I've been let down by the vendor's installation service, so looking for a backup. Please let me know if you or someone you recommend could help! It's small (6x4) and hopefully a straightforward job. We're on Sydenham Hill near the Horniman playground. Cheers Julie

Hi Anna, thank you so much for your reply! And for being so kind not to point out that my reading comprehension was particularly poor and I had the group for the WRONG YEAR! The shame. So, yes, to be clear, I am having a baby in late March/early April 2020, not 2019, and would love to meet others in the same boat! Will PM you, and look at starting a new thread :) xx

Hello, I would like to add my voice to the chorus of recommendations for Pavel and the team at And Move. They are AMAZING - fast, efficient, professional and excellent value. They packed up our entire 2-bed flat in less than a day, and managed the physical move so quickly and smoothly I couldn't believe it. They took great care of our stuff, were considerate and responsive and I'm absolutely delighted that we chose to use them. I recommend them unreservedly - book them today!

Hello, we have just completed on a house sooner than expected! We're going to move on the 30th, so need some urgent internal house painting done next week if possible. It's a three-bed house near the Horniman, please let me know if you might be available! Cheers, JLO

Hello everyone! Hope you are having lovely pregnancies so far :) I'm expecting my second in early April, my first was a LONG while ago now and this new baby is a complete surprise! Would be super keen to meet some local parents, will DM my number to be added to the list. Julie x

Hello, I am looking for a local baker who can make me a bunch of lamingtons (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamington) for a party on 3 March. Please let me know if you can help or if you know someone I should ask!

Hello, I just wanted to offer a recommendation for Jobe, she did my hair and makeup today for a Royal Garden Party and she did a wonderful job! Jobe was professional and efficient, I was delighted with the final result and it lasted all day. Thank you!

Hi James - no worries at all, thanks for following up and hope you're feeling better. Cheers, JLO

Morning James! There's a crew of builders with a cement mixer on the lane this morning, next to William Rose. They're blocking the pavement so that pedestrians - including kids on their way to school - have to walk out onto the road. We asked them to open the barriers to let pedestrians through safely. They initially refused then we just walked through and others followed (see picture). Please can something be done?!

I couldn't be happier with the haircut I've had from Margaret - great shape, easy to style, lasting well. She is friendly and professional, and having her come to our place made things so easy. She also managed to cut my little boy's hair - he used to scream blue murder when we went to the salon but with Margaret he sat still like a little lamb and got the first actually symmetrical cut of his life! Thanks Margaret.

Hi everyone, just wanted to echo the recommendations - Paula is a marvel! I got in touch yesterday evening when my babysitter for tonight fell through, she has arranged a carer already! I'm very grateful and amazed at the speed of her service. All the carers we have had through Dulwich Childcare have been wonderful and I'm sure tonight's will be no exception. Cheers Julie

I posted this on another thread without realising the the thread title was negative: want this to come up when people search for recommendations! We have just had a most excellent Niko experience: our bath was leaking and within 15 mins of my call he was at our front door! He fixed the problem quickly, had some good advice about how to prevent a recurrence. Very reasonable price, unbelievably fast and efficient service!
