Hi everyone, Anyone got any recommendations for a good ED property company? We're looking to rent out our flat on Lordship and wanted to hear about peoples experiences. Cheers!

After a four year wait, and two properties, we finally got the opportunity to get Steve from Back to Wood Floors to restore and treat our floors back to original boards. Steve and Nicola did our stairs, landing, hallway and new dining room and the result really is absolutely stunning. We found them on the forum several years ago and they come, without exception, very well recommended. They we always available and responsive to questions before they began, came on time, well prepared and eager to create magic in another property. It was truly a pleasure to have them working for us for a week and we absolutely would not hesitate to be calling them again for any future work (which we don't there is now we've seen the result!). We could not get over how clean and tidy the house was at the end of each day, you hear nightmares about floor sanding, we literally could not tell that such messy work had been done come 6pm each day, excepting the amazing floors of course, incredible. Thank you EDF for helping us find them and thank you Steve & Nicola for transforming our home. Back to Wood Floors are on [email protected] or call 07949 411650

Just had Alan Naish from 123 Chimney Sweeps round to help us get a second room working again. Alan's always so helpful, full of advice. This time, thanks to Alan, we've saved over ?800 of what would have been wasted money. Thanks Alan! Professional, punctual and friendly, I can't recommend him enough. http://www.123chimneysweeps.co.uk 07956385112 Cheers,

Had John round for his third visit in as many months (different issues) This time he installed our new internet thermostat. Fast and friendly as ever, he came over with just a day or two of calling, fitting his schedule around ours. He had it licked and done within an hour, and this is after me trying to make head or tail of it for three days! Thanks John, highly recommended!

Hey all, A quick recommendation for Dulwich Eco Gardening. Saied has been fundamental to major changes we are making to our garden and his advice, friendliness and seriously hard work mean we are finally getting closer to the garden we always wanted! Saied has landscaped half the garden, dug the other half up to install a utility pipe (long story) and got very busy indeed with a LOT of ivy! Saied is one of those magic finds, someone you know puts in MORE than you expected, rather than less as with a lot of workmen these days. Highly recommended.

This is another sincere recommendation for Saied and his team. After finding him on the forum after being let down by another gardener, Saied came round and showed his willingness to pick up the mantle. Over the next 8 months, we have a huge amount of work to be done; landscaping, bedding, tree felling, bordering, the list goes on! Saied & team started in earnest on Monday (yes, Bank Holiday Monday!) and has shown truly expert skills and provided untold advice on the random acts of madness we are trying to commit on our garden. A massive amount has been achieved and they all have an admirable work ethic. We very much intend to keep Saied on to maintain our garden after the current works are complete (one day left!). I can heartily recommend Saied as knowledgeable, trustworthy, helpful and polite to a fault. Benjamin

Just had Alan round this morning. Friendly, efficient, EXTREMELY clean and was more than happy to advise us on other stack questions we had. Can't recommend highly enough, will defo be using for our annual.

Following the recommendations on the forum, we contacted RJS Carpentry to build us four alcove cupboards/wardrobes. From the first visit, Ryan (RJS) was knowledgeable, open to customer requirements and very easy to deal with. It was a very big job he took on (see pics) and Ryan & his team worked and completed it with an ethic rarely seen these days. We absolutely love what he did, it's transformed our house. I can't recommend him highly enough. Ryan 07962385294 http://rjscarpentry.co.uk/

And this is a +1 (really a +2 but we forgot to post last time ) Niko has helped us with a flooded cellar and, more recently, replaced a busted down pipe that was spewing unmentionables across our doorstep. He did it quick, and under estimate. Helpful, honest and very approachable. Can't recommend highly enough. B

Hi all, We had Tony come to our place in Sydenham on Tuesday - we only texted him on Sunday! He arrived on time, was friendly & professional and the job on the carpets is nothing less than fabulous. First thing we said was we'd have him back to do more - texting him right now actually! Highly recommended. B

Hey all, I've recently decided to fianlly have a bash at learning the piano after years of thinking about it. Can anyone recommend a good piano teacher? Also, does anyone know how much lessons cost (I honestly have no idea!) Thanks,

Not wanting to stir up trouble, but I've only used this wash once - they put a scratch on my door mirror. I didn't raise this with them as only noticed afterwards and had no proof anyway. Looks like a piece of grit was stuck on the shammy. Prob just unlucky and a one off but enough to make me not go back...

Hey Little Miss, There's some great ones around. My partners mother is a dealer and comes down to London regularly to attend some. She consideres the best ones to be: Battersea Boot Fair Spitalfields market on a Thursday for antiques, or Friday & Sunday for general market Camden market on a Sunday Hope this helps and have fun! B

Yeah, been waiting for the open day for weeks! Had a nice chat to the two Ladies, both really friendly and helpful. As for the ice cream, wow! We got back from Italy just on Sat and had eaten authentic gelato every day for 4 days. I can easily say this was at least the equal. The Fig & Caramel is just amazing! I really hope the weather changes, I think this is a great addition to the Lane. I wish them every luck. And I'll be back, sun or no sun!

This is such a great idea. Have pledged, anyone who has the odd pint or two local should drop over a bit. Just hope they get a few businessses putting bigger figures in or is at risk of not reaching target. Good luck to Arnold and his team!
