The Garment Studio in the Bussey Building is great - https://www.thegarmentstudio.co.uk/

Much-loved thin-knit beanie hat - purple with a sparkly stripe.

Please message me if you've seen it - 07788 584413

Many thanks, Kate

Another vote for Clare, who replaced our outside tap. Ditto both posts above.

Thoroughly recommend Clare Griffin at Miss-Fix Services - 07792 887072‬

She came to replace our outside tap last week - fast and efficient service and a pleasure to do business with!

Thanks to everyone who replied to my message.

Mrs Y (listed on the forum) and a friend provided the help I needed - and were brilliant! I couldn't have asked for more and it gave me time to enjoy the party. I thoroughly recommend them if you need that extra pair of hands...

Feel free to get in touch if you'd like more details.

Having just hired DJ kit for the first time for a party, I wanted to recommend Solo Sound Hire (http://www.solosoundhire.co.uk/) in Brockley for anyone else who might be looking for something similar.

Great service from Tom and Philip - efficient, friendly and super helpful. I needed plenty of advice on how to connect it to our home system - all of which was given willingly.

Definitely beats an iPod and speakers?

Thank you kittysailing

I've left a message for Rowena.

Hi mary123

It's a birthday party, in the evening, adults only, with food and drink for about 40 people.

Thanks, Kate

I'm looking for a couple of people to help with handing out drinks and food for a birthday party at our house in Peckham on the evening of Saturday 8th July.

Does anyone know the best place to look or anyone who could help?

Many thanks!

Kate

We've found a black coat in our garden, which is at the Oxenford Road end of Bellenden Road:

It's evie / Authentic Casualwear brand, size 18, hip-length, zipped pockets on the front at the top.

Drop me a line if it's yours!

Kate

Thank you adsyb99 and just_browsing - we'll try both suggestions.

zone2lege - David Kinsey's details are as follows, if you haven't found them already: http://www.davidkinsey.co.uk/index.php

We have damp coming through one of our external walls for no obvious reason.

Can anyone recommend an independent damp expert who can diagnose the issue and, hopefully, advise on a solution?

Thanks!

Another recommendation for Phil Quinn. Having made a great job of building an understairs cupboard a few months ago, he's now building shelves and wardrobes.

Reliable, reasonbly-priced and easy to work with, we thoroughly recommend him.

Phil's number is 07701 097779

Another recommendation for Martin Chandler - 07769 676055 - who is both a perfectionist and lovely to have around. He has done a great job on all our wallpapering, none of which was straightforward, as well as painted woodwork and doors - again to a very high standard.

Happy to provide photos for anyone that would like them.

We recently used The Garden Club - http://www.gardenclublondon.co.uk/ - for a complete 'garden transformation', and can thoroughly recommend them. Tony Woods is a true plant expert and came up with lots of ideas around the things we'd suggested. He then bought the plants at very reasonable prices for us because he knows which nurseries to use. The number is 020 3544 7443.

The Garden Club contracted out the hard landscaping, which was a key element of our new garden, to Outside Edge (Clinton Wootten - 07887 847770). Again, Clint is a real find.

Do get in touch if you'd like more detailed info.

Good luck!

Kate

I know there are various painters and decorators recommended on the Forum, but most of these seem to be for painting jobs.

Can anyone suggest a wallpaper expert?

Many thanks!
