David Duggan did a proper botch job on my place. Don't use him.

Hi there, I am looking for a local engineer who can provide a gas safety certificate on a property which is due to be let. Obviously necessary Gas Safe registration etc. required. Please PM me. Thanks

Hi, I am looking for someone to paint the external front facing wall of our house. It is already painted but requires a change of colour to white. There are also some cracks that would need to be filled as well. Does anyone have any recommendations and any thoughts on how much this would cost? Thanks Richard

Hi All, Just interested to hear other peoples view. Is it expected that the bin men actually put the bins back where they found them on the drive or is it deemed ok to just leave them strewn all over the driveway?

Hi All, I am looking for a tailor who can make some adjustments to a couple of suits of mine. Can anyone recommend anyone locally who might provide a better service than somebody over pried in the city? Thanks

I have to agree I had John round to fix a boiler issue earlier in the year. He was good.

VM on Barry Road is terrible...

The house is (address removed - Admin) I believe.

yes have also used John. Would certainly use him again.

Hi James, Apologies if this issue has been raised before but as a resident of Barry Road it seems that there is an ever increasing amount of boy racers reaching some crazy speeds along the road. Have Speed bumps of speed cameras ever been considered? Regards, Richard

Please whoever owns the dog which barks first thing in the morning and late at night every day near landells road/Barry road please show some respect for your neighbours and shut it up. Especially when people have their windows open on these warm evenings. Thanks.

DuncanW, I agree with you on the loss of control/managing the situation. My experience with our managing agent is a nightmare. I just meant that at least you can divide that cost of the excess on the insurance rather than taking the full hit. Rich

another question is whether or not you are buying the freehold or are you going to be a leaseholder? If it is a lease then you need not worry as much as the responsibility probably lies with the freeholder. I would probably walk away if you are taking on the freehold unless some guarantees can be made or you have a full structural review of it.

London buses are so erratic. I saw 4 number 12's in a line coming up Barry Road yesterday evening!

which end of the road is this? Down towards P Rye or up towards Dulwich Library?
