  1. M&S are counting people in but once they are in the shop there's no social distancing being observed. The same is happening in Village Organic.
  2. https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/property/2533596-Buildteam-Clapham-based-company-Side-return-specialists
  3. We've just used Archie and Blue for a few small jobs around the house - replacing silicone in a shower, tiling a basin splashback plus fitting a new piece of plasterboard and skimming. Prompt, tidy, great workers and a keen price.
  4. A further recommendation for John and his plumbers. First rate work on a leaking shower.
  5. Old Spike Roastery on Peckham Rye is pretty decent
  6. I spoke with the people that deal with dangerous structures at Southwark.
  7. Please avoid walking on the pavement at the Lordship Lane end of Heber Road. The high double brick wall that is part of 263 Lordship Lane and runs along Heber Road has huge cracks in it and is bowing considerably. I've spoken with the foreman in charge of the building works at 263 and he told me that it couldn't be taken down until next week due to Southwark not having issued a licence of some kind. I've also reported to Southwark(dangerous structures dept) and left a message with Heber School. MYN Properties has no answerphone and no one picks up. The wall has become incredibly unstable with more cracks opening up over the last 4 days.
  8. First class service from Steve. Located the dishwasher fault swiftly and repaired it in no time at all.
  9. We used Rob at www.stonerejuvenation.co.uk for cleaning and re-pointing the front of our house. Highly recommended.
  10. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/may/23/copyright-law-internet-mumsnet http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/property/2533596-Buildteam-Clapham-based-company-Side-return-specialists https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20160523/07223234522/fantastic-now-british-firms-are-getting-bogus-website-bogus-dmca-notice-scam.shtml#comments
  11. As an East Dulwich resident that used Build Team and had a less than satisfactory experience with them I find it concerning that the negative reviews are being removed. The company seemed happy to use the forum for exposure in the past: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,1166564,1166564#msg-1166564
  12. We had the unfortunate experience of using Build Team for our side return. There used to be another thread about Buid Team but it seems to have been removed.
  13. Superb service from The Spin Doctor - speedy and keenly priced repair of our washing machine
  14. We have used Henderson Williams many times - http://www.hendersonwilliams.co.uk/90320/info.php?p=1
  15. Rob has just cleaned our brickwork and re-pointed in lime mortar - a super transformation. Thoroughly recommended.
  16. Really great film with some wonderful footage. Pretty interesting Q&A with Terence Stamp - couple of music related anecdotes but mainly about his and Chris' family life.
  17. Took a photo of her on my phone and she decided to leave.
  18. Two ladies with shopping trolleys working both sides of Lordship lane, going through blue and green bins on the pavement and in front gardens Started to go through paper in our blue bin. I was told to go away when I asked what they were doing and if they had permission to rifle through our bins
  19. Another recommendation for All Round Renovation. Brad has just finished painting the exterior of our house - render and windows. Thoroughly professional, polite and super hardworking.
  20. Unfortunately, we did decide to go ahead with Build Team to build our side return extension. We experienced two teams of sub contractors, workers walking off site and not returning, an electrician that threatened to cut all of his recently installed cabling, extremely poor carpentry work and a missing damp proof membrane that should have been fitted under the party wall coping stones The whole build ended with a roof that was so poorly constructed that Building Control wouldn't sign off on it and the Lead Sheet Association's main surveyor stated that he'd never seen such a poor piece of workmanship. We suffered an extremely depressing 11 month build before everything was finally signed off.
  21. Has anyone had external and internal wall insulation professionally fitted to a terraced Victorian property? If so could you recommend a company?
  22. David Jones at Francis Stone has just helped us with a new mortgage, a thoroughly painless process and much easier than dealing directly with the banks / building societies. Local as well.
