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!

St aidans road have a frequent cat visitor who is now trying to, and sometimes succeeding, get into houses. Does this cat belong to anyone? She is v friendly and rather beautiful. She (think it's a she) has a blue/green collar on with a bell attached.

Oh that is such good news! I never saw him again. I left food out for a few nights in case he strolled by and hung around because i wanted to get him to the vets and scanned. Anyway, he didnt come back its great someone managed to get him to the vets and that he has a home. Thanks for the update mitzi_marie

Hi - no sign of kitty cat yesterday and not yet home this evening. I left some food out in the hope he might hang around and I could get him scanned for a microchip. I have a car so can easily get him to the vets to do this.

I think a lost ginger cat turned up on st aidans road early this morning. Crying v loudly (like what cats seem to do when lost and scared). Have given him some food. Have pics will try to add here. Will also try to get him to cats to see if he is microchipped. I am presuming it's a he...

Hello! Oh thank goodness he has an owner! Last night he was on north cross road. I didn?t see him this morning. Will let you know if I see him later. Update this thread if he comes home.... I will know to stop keeping my eyes open for him!

This is the cat - I added the collar with a note attached to see if he has an owner. He was not wearing the collar when I found him

Does anyone know if this cat belongs to anyone? I know he hangs around on the road a lot.

I wondered whether he is lost/ever been scanned for microchip etc?

Thanks!

Does this cat belong to anyone? Has a note attached from the florist saying they have been taking him/her in but think lost. Darn it the photo is too big to load pm I can send you a pic

Taken to the neighbourhood vets and scanned. He had a microchip. Turns out he comes from annerley.... but had been staying in the Cotswolds when he went missing just over a month ago. Anyway, a happy ending for this little kitty cat!

There is a ginger cat on Darrell road crying and trying to get into the houses - i wasn't able to take a pic. Has anyone lost a ginger cat?

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

hi there - does anyone have a recommendation for someone who can put up a couple of shelves up and pictures? ideally I would love them put up tomorrow but appreciate its a bank holiday so may not be possible.... if anyone has a recommendation or you can help with this please get in touch. 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

Yes i can recommend a great architect - marienne http://mariennepachonick.com/ Really professional, reliable, friendly and offers extra thoughts re design if you ask. Can't recommend highly enough. 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!!!
