Hi I live in my flat and I share the freehold with the other flat. It's a typical victorian conversion. We have one buildings insurance policy for the whole building and it's always really expensive, but this can't be an unusual situation. Can anyone recommend any good providers? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Unbelievably bad experience using Dave to fit a carpet. He says he ripped the carpet while fitting it but I think he must have cut it wrong. So I now have an untidy join in it. He cut his finger and left blood over my bathroom floor and a blood stained tissue in my front garden. My door is now harder to close as he put the edging too close to the door. And there’s a bulge in the carpet where it hasn’t been fitted properly.

Gary did some work for me and I wouldn’t use him again. He asked me to pay upfront as he’d been on holiday and needed the money. Obviously I wouldn’t do that. Then I had far too many messages from him about me having to pay him the minute the job was completed as he’s got bills to pay. It was very annoying and unprofessional. The work they did for me was ok but not brilliant.

Great. Thanks for posting.

Hi I?m looking for recommendations for someone to fit my new kitchen. Any would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for your message. The discussion still hasn?t happened yet!

Thanks for your response.

Hi I would welcome any thoughts on my situation with my builder. I'm currently having a kitchen extension built. My builder has caused all sorts of delays with feeble excuses, and between the beginning of May and mid September only did 8 days work on it. He has now told me that because ALL building materials have gone up by 40 - 50%, he is going to have to pass on that extra cost to me. I have spoken to the supplier where he's getting most of the materials from and they say yes things have gone up but not everything and definitely not by 40 50%, and they've only gone up in the last 8 weeks. If my builder hadn't created a 4 month delay on the job then those increases wouldn't have impacted it. They've now been back working on it for 3 weeks. He's coming to see me tomorrow to present the new costs to me. I would welcome any thoughts on where I stand and what I can do. I certainly don't want to stop the job and get a new builder. Thanks.

Hi. I'm currently having an extension built and spending a fortune on the builders getting rid of what they're digging out. There's a lot more to go so can anyone recommend any rubbish removal services? Thanks.

I'm having an extension built soon and require a building control inspector. Can anyone recommend anybody for this? Can I use Southwark Council to do it? Thanks

A recommendation following a repair to my cooker grill. Very helpful.

I called Paul yesterday morning and he was with me within a few hours. He did a great job of repairing and updating my laptop as well as making improvements to my iPhone and iPad. Excellent service.

I can recommend Danny (not sure of last name) who has cleared rubbish for me a few times and is licensed. Always very helpful. His number is 07974 643891.

I can add my recommendation for Norwood Roofing. They've just done a great job for me (new lead flashing) and David was very helpful. Also provided a guarantee.

Always a good night. I'll be there.

I'm looking to get my car's alloy wheels repaired and a few dents removed. Does anyone know of somewhere that does this locally or one of those mobile companies that do it? Thanks

I need to have two single story walls re-rendered. Any recommendations? Thanks

I used Dave again the other day for sorting out a broken plug and checking something on my washing machine. Prompt and helpful as always.

I've had paths and a patio dug out in my garden and have approx 140 bags of rubble to get rid of from SE15 4EE. I have side access. Please get in touch if you're interested in doing this. 07930 415107. Thanks

I've just had Dave round and he was brilliant. He arrived within two hours of being called and got the issue sorted straight away. I'm very pleased and would totally recommend him.

I've used Gary many times after finding recommendations for him on here. He's always been extremely helpful and reliable. Tonight I got home late to find my lights weren't working. I text Gary asking him to call me in the morning but he phoned me from his holiday abroad and talked me through what to do. I now have lights. This is brilliant service and I can't recommend him enough. Gary's number is 07872 178044

I've got a 1967 MG Midget but unfortunately I don't keep it here. I'm always impressed with how many classic cars are in the area, and also that the owners are comfortable leaving them on the street.

It would be good to find somewhere that doesn't run out by mid Sunday afternoon

I'm looking for someone to do the following jobs for me - - replace one wooden fence post which is set in concrete - attach some trellis to a wall - remove the roots of three bushes I've taken out of my garden Please get in touch. Thanks

In need of a fence post being replaced that is set in concrete. Please get in touch.
