I second this! We had help from Lynlea when we undertook building works for our ground floor last summer. I had been stressing out not knowing where to start and was worried about making costly wrong decisions. Then we met Lynlea. She walked us through EVERYTHING and i don't know what we would have done without her! Working with Lynlea was a dream she made the process fun. We LOVE very decision Lynlea helped us make from picking a kitchen and deciding which shade of white to have on the walls, to choosing dining room/living room paint, furniture, lighting and so much more. Lynlea gave us the confidence to be "bold" and choose colours/furniture we wanted BUT would have been afraid of doing if left to our own devices. We will be having a loft conversation next year and will 100% be asking Lynlea to help us with this!

hello ED community Something for us all to consider if we have foliage from our gardens spreading onto the streets? 2 minute watch.... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-leeds-53142780 https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=4018062128208956&id=1143803202301544

Hello - Matt got in contact with me through a PM. He came round to our house today and did a great job putting up our shelves and pictures (actually old enamel signs). I highly recommend him for as a handyman - he arrived on time, was really friendly, competitively priced and efficient. His contact number is 07932639963. I will definitely use him again as he does things like painting, gardening and other odd jobs - I have already referred him to my sister! Cakey

Thanks. Cakey

hi dgastra - do you have contact details for matt? I need a couple of shelves put up and some signs on my kitchen wall. I hoped to get in contact with him for a quote etc. Can you share? I looked on the EDF but haven't been able to find them. Thanks, Cakey

Hello - I am looking for recommendations for someone who can trim back a tree that has gotten slightly overgrown. I don't want the tree to be cut down just trimmed back as it blocks out some sunlight. Thanks!

Hello - can anyone recommend someone who can test our electrics and give us an electrical certificate? Thanks!

actually, if you need a structural engineer too, I recommend this guy: Kevin Wright & Co. Chartered Project Management Surveyors Chartered Building Surveyors Consulting Civil & Structural Engineers 127 Beulah Road, Thornton Heath, Surrey. CR7 8JJ Tel: 020 8653 7770 Facsimile 020 8653 6696 Marienne actually put us in contact with him - highly recommended!

I recently used the services of a structural engineer who I found to be v good. I wanted to share his details with others as not only did he do a good job in regard to what we contracted with him for, he also went above and beyond by giving advice/recommendations for things not in the original scope of work but within the same price. Name: Kevin Wright Tel no: 020 8653 7770. Cakey

Hi there - I have recently used Marienne as our architect for renovations on our property. I found her to be super helpful, knowledgeable and really went above and beyond..... even after her work with us had completed, she still remained open for questions etc. I really can't rate her enough and will use her services again for future works and will most certainly be recommending her to friends. http://mariennepachonick.com/ Good luck with your renovations!!!
