Happened to find Keith finishing a job on my street - asked him for a quote and he came in, excellent value quotes and kept in touch for start date. 2 days. 2 jobs complete (fixing a long broken gutter, pipe placement and sealing brickwork) He showed me the why, what and how along the way. He?s a great guy and genuinely did a great job with his son in support.

If you need pointing, brickwork, gutter repairs etc get him on 07973 635 035 or DM me if want photos

I did ask them -it's not their cat ;-(

This Cat has been coming into my flat a few times in the past week -5am through the cat flap eating my cats food, also evening time, just wanders in through the open window, calm as you like, making itself at home. It has been hungry and not stopped eating my cat food each time and is incredibly tame and unflappable.

Once i managed to close the window and cat flap, it was indignantly banging to get back in!

I'd like to know if it's yours so I know it's not lost... I'm on the lower part of Upland Rd and the roof terrace where it comes from, backs close to Hindmans and Tyrell Rd

Thanks

If you are or know a Stephanie Bell, I found her purse in Northcross Rd about 12pm today. I've called a place she's a member of and they said they will contact her to let her know where the purse is, but just in case she's on here she may find out sooner...

I found Vince through existing recommendations on this forum and wanted to add another. He was quick to respond to a request and very efficient with quoting.

This time, it was putting up 8 framed pieces throughout the flat, and re-sizing and fitting a new bathroom door. He is incredibly respectful of my property, conscientious with all his work and am really happy with the results and I will absolutely be asking Vince back for some light fitting work (he's a a qualified electrician) and other jobs around the flat.

He's local and can be contacted on 07931 737 773

HI, I used a guy called Phil, at Hindwoods last year, decent guy and very helpful -email his secretary Donna Gordon [email protected]

ace, thanks, will do

HI - if you know of a good & honest oven expert please let me know. Mine is tripping the electrics and electrician suggested it's an oven issue, not electrical -thank you

Hi,

Could anyone recommend an oven expert, mine keeps tripping the electrics (electrician said it was an oven issue not electrics)

Thank you!

Hi,

We adopted a cat from Battersea cats home yesterday and she is due for another injection this week - if you can recommend a good and patient vet please do let me know. (other than the Neighbourhood one)

Thank you

Ennevive - In the Village opposite Pizza Express

I rode over yesterday and had breakfast (porridge and coffee) - both v good. Nice display of freshly baked breads and pastries etc, and was busy at 10am - good luck to them!

Thanks Alice!

Hi Malumbu

Sorry for delay on this -had no notifications anyone replied! The London roof is in a V so you can build into your existing loft space and up to the exisiting height of outside side brick work. Not imposing from the front or the back and no neighbourly light issues too.

Still researching, getting ideas and quotes, seems to be about the ?40k mark which is a lot but still cheaper than moving to a 2 bed in ED!

Yes chillaxed - you are right. Mansard extensions onto a London roof are probably one of the least imposing there is. Also doesn't affect neighbours at all (obvs discounting the 8 weeks of builders hell1)

Hi Mrs Teamtime

Yes I have seen the Nutfield loft extensions also but very disheartening to know lots of refusals from Southwark. I think they are one of the most discreet type of loft extensions

It's still only a pipedream at this stage but i'd love to know if you take it further. I thought nobody had replied to the message hence only picking all these up now

Thanks!

Thanks so much for replying to this -I had no idea anyone responded as had no notifications...! It seems to be a massive pain, I'll check out your link, thanks for replying!

Apparently it's going to be a wine bar with a small but impressive restaurant menu so not too dissimilar to G&B

Thanks Brightcolours -I'll check the link!

Thanks -I'll check him out :-)

Thanks for the info, ?250 a window is ok! I'd love to know who you used - thanks, i'll wait for you to check! :-)

Hi,

We are considering having a loft extension added to our London roof-apparently it can be done and can get you a large room with ensuite...!I have access to the loft via the hallway ceiling and bathroom ceiling (2 separate areas) in my one bed flat

It'll cost a ton, so only in quote stages at the moment. Be good to hear if you find anyone decent to quote you on it

HI

I have 4 sets of very old sash windows and the wood around them is getting old and soft in parts and of course they are single glazed, but i'd hate to replace them for modern windows - does anyone know a good way of restoring them / double glazing but keeping them in the original sash style?

Thanks

Hi

I was looking into this a year or so ago but then life took over... has anyone in SE22 had or know anyone who has had a loft extension on a London (butterfly) roof?

I am aware there can be issues with planning permission but conversions with this type of roof are apparently now much more common so ideally want to know if it's been done, who used, how long and how much.

Thanks
