I'd like to second this recommendation. Nico is great - he came round to do some simple plumbing repairs to our flat before we moved out and rented it to tenants. He was very honest about work that did and didn't need doing (rather than charging us for work that wasn't necessary), did a really excellent job of sorting out the waste pipe on our ancient, awkward enamel kitchen sink. Best of all, he was very reasonably priced - much cheaper than other local firms - and the service was really excellent. He is a lovely, friendly guy and we will definitely be using him for any further plumbing issues with the flat!

Our bath has leaked and caused our downstairs neighbour's celing to collapse :-(. We are sorting the plumbing problem but need to replaster our neighbour's ceiling without breaking the bank some time this week. Can anyone recommend a reasonable and reliable plasterer working in the Peckham/Old Kent Road area? Thank you!

Oooh - these are all really helpful suggestions - thank you so much everyone. A few of us might get some clothes together and come and do a stall at the Rose on 28 April - we'll give you a call. Also, thanks so much for the ideas about the dress agencies - I had no idea that they existed in this part of London. Thank you everyone!

Hello everyone! I wanted to ask whether anyone has any experience of selling second hand/nearly new clothes in the East Dulwich area. I've just had a baby and, aside from not really needing a cupboard full of silk dresses and trouser suits any more, I am trying to raise a few extra pennies for my maternity leave. I've got lots of lovely Banana Republic and Coast dresses, and some French Connection suits, trousers, etc. Generally lots of lovely high-end high street items - some still with tags. All the items are either new or nearly new, so I'd like a decent price for them. Ebay seems fairly rubbish for clothes, so I wondered if there are any little shops in the local area who might take them? They aren't designer or vintage, so I've been struggling to think of a solution! Any ideas very gratefully received!
