I would like to add a recommendation for local carpenter, Joe Kensington. I contacted Joe after reading the extremely positive recommendations for him on EDF. Joe built a beautiful fitted wardrobe for my bedroom and I couldn't be happier with it; top quality workmanship! I had some ideas for the wardrobe and Joe patiently worked towards putting these into place, whilst ensuring that I was happy with the design. He made practical suggestions and accommodated my wishes. The finished wardrobe is exactly how I had pictured it. Joe is highly-skilled, hard-working, professional and friendly. Highly recommended!

I would like to highly recommend Niko who changed my kitchen taps yesterday. Very fair pricing and stuck to his quote even though the job took longer than expected. He knows his stuff and offered advice so as to keep the taps in good working order, plus is friendly, interesting and a really decent bloke. Niko's number is 07818 607583.

Hello all, I would like to recommend my childminder, Dee Ceesay. I have known Dee for almost ten years, as she has been my son’s childminder since he was a baby, caring for him full-time then and before/after school now. Dee has always been dependable, responsible, honest and courteous. Her home is always calm and welcoming, and she has a high level of dedication to her profession as a childminder. Dee is Ofsted-registered and is up-to-date with current training. Dee is caring and friendly, and one of the kindest people you will ever meet. Both my son and myself agree that Dee is just wonderful, and feel that we are very fortunate to have her in our lives. I can confidently recommend her to care for your child; they will be in the best of hands. Dee is based on Hayter Road (off Brixton Hill) and her number is 07949763949. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Esme

I would like to recommend Lisa's Italian for delicious and good-value home-cooked food. I've just eaten wonderful arancini and braciola with escarole, and have a lasagna in the freezer for later. Looking forward to ordering again. Order from a weekly-changing menu by Thursday for free local delivery on Friday or Saturday. You'll be supporting a local business too :-) www.lisasitalianhomemade.co.uk

I just wanted to add another recommendation for Paul of Paws on the Button. I had been meaning to get my laptop looked at for quite some time (slow; unable to configure Windows updates; possible hacking) and after reading positive reviews here, was very pleased that I contacted Paul. He responded very quickly to my emails and after taking a look at my laptop and offering possible solutions, took it away for a day to change the hard drive, sort out the problems I had with it plus transfer and organise all of my photos/videos from my phone which I had been attempting and failing to do for many months. When he returned my(much speedier)laptop, Paul clearly explained what he had done as well as ensure that my laptop was reconnected with my wifi and printer. He also offered advice regarding antimalware and antivirus programmes. I will definitely be contacting Paul if my laptop goes wonky again. Thank you.

I also always use Mason&Green for airport trips. Safe, comfortable, friendly and punctual, as well as being reasonably priced. Good knowledge of the roads too; Heathrow traffic was awful last time I used M&G but got there on time by using a different route.
