Sorry should have said, this is for the roofer request rather than damp proof.

Caleb Chapman of C&C Property Maintenance did some work for me a couple of weeks ago and was really good: 07793 443195. Lots of positive reviews on MyBuilder.

Hi everyone, if you?re looking for a roofer I can recommend Caleb, he?s just done a great job for me. Very quick to respond, punctual and tidy, really sweet guy and did a great job. He solved an issue with a leak that another roofer hadn?t been able to work out (it was in a slightly tricky place) and he took great care to investigate and consider what might be the source of the issue. His number is 07793 443195 and he has lots of good reviews on MyBuilder.

Hi all, given our Summers are only going to get hotter and this one has been hot enough already, I?m thinking about putting thermal-protection glass in our West-facing sliding doors and our loft veluxes. Apparently you can just replace the glass not the whole unit. Has anyone done this? Would a glazer know what/how to do this? Advice would be appreciated, as well as recommendations. Thanks so much.

No water on Landells Road again this morning. Have reported to Thames Water via the website, might be a good idea if others did the same as they may be more likely to notice!

Thanks Beaky!

Son is in Year 1 now so would be taking the entry test next Jan. Seems like a long way away but I know I should be helping him way more than I am! He's a bright boy, but I really have no idea how 'bright' you need to be to get in. They have sample papers on their website and I'm fairly sure he could get 100% correct in the English one now, but not the Maths. Can anyone with experience of entry to Year 3 let me know what the process was like? Did you hire a tutor? I wonder if a maths tutor might be a good idea. Thanks all!

Yep that sounds more like it. Tempted to go and wake them all up at 6am tomorrow when my son wakes up. That'll teach 'em...

Hmm don't think it's rugby related...they all sound really young. Seriously though if I was living next door to that I'd be hammering on their door. It's super loud. I can't go out and see where it is because my son's asleep. Let's hope he stays that way. No sleep for me for the next few hours!

Humph! Is it Barry Road? I can't really tell.

Can't actually hear my telly thanks to the ear-splittingly loud music. (Old fart...)

Hi, My son is at Heber nursery and he loves it. It's small and friendly and the kids are all sweet too. Downsides are fairly quick rotation of staff since we've been there (son's key worker left, then another teacher left, and sometimes new teaching assistants randomly appear with no warning!)and, following on from that, communication overall isn't a strong point. We've missed letters about various things, but now signed up to Parentmail which is probably what I should have done in the first place! This sounds really negative I know, but overall I would recommend it; the level of teaching is good, my son is happy and I can tell he's learning because he's holding his pen differently, counting on his fingers, sounding out his letters, etc. All things I know they're meant to be teaching him, so they obviously are and it seems to be working!

Son is (fingers crossed) starting Heber reception in Sept. I know it's quite a way off, but thinking about childcare, do childminders do pre- and after school care in term time and then full time in school holidays? Our shared nanny won't be able to cope with the logistics of school run and other younger children, so we'll have to part ways. I know Heber do breakfast and after school clubs but obviously term time only, so what do people do for the 14 weeks per year that need covering! Help appreciated...

I can add to the recommendations. We used John McCann to plaster a room in our house. He was reliable, trustworthy and punctual. The work he did was excellent. Highly recommended. His number is : John McCann (07905 044912)
