Hi all. Could anyone spare the time to fix a bath panel back on? It had to be taken off because of a leak and the plumber said his mate would do it … but I can’t get through to the mate … would like it done this Friday afternoon ideally, if not Monday. Many thanks ! 

Had a great experiment with AFE plumbing and can highly recommend for customer service ! 

Okay I understand you are annoyed about bikes on the pavement. What about bins ? It is just so selfish and disgusting.

It’s become very annoying that people feel it is perfectly fine to leave their trash bins on the pavement which people use to , you know, walk around and generally exercise their right to use public space.

Do you leave your bins on the pavement ? Why ? Put them back on your property. It is smelly and very selfish of you. You do not own public footpaths.

Do your neighbours leave their bins the pavement ? Why ? Report them to Southwark and have their bins removed as nuisances on public footpaths : https://www.southwark.gov.uk/bins-and-recycling/abandoned-bins.

Sorry if this isn?t the right section to post.

I?ve just had plantation shutters installed and I knew (as did the company when they measured) that the windows aren?t straight. But apparently neither are many windows in period properties ! Sadly the company made no effort to compensate for this and so the shutters don?t look right, and accentuate the unevenness in the windows. It?s quite upsetting as I got several quotes, and obviously shutters themselves are expensive.

Does anyone by any chance have any advice, or recommendations of any specialists I could speak to? Keen to see what the options are for improving the look.

Thanks very much in advance.

I can really recommend Carl at south London Locks for excellent customer service and a very speedy response!

He is on 07880 806 614

I can really recommend Vince who can do a range of repairs and is a fabulous painter ! Very clean, reliable, and does a great job.

Hi everyone I just wanted to see if anyone who is a member of ESPH is as surprised as I am to discover that they are still charging full membership. I?m aware of 3 other gyms in the area that my friends are part of who stopped charging once they were closed. I?ve requested a refund which I have been assured will be actioned, but really very disappointed not to have received communication from the gym although they say they have put this out on various platforms, asking members to still support them as a small business, or cancel. I have received no communication over email, I cannot see this on their website, and I follow them on FB but have not seen that in their feed either. Really not good enough from my perspective and they were quite defensive about their so-called extensive communication on this matter. Just not what I expect and wanted to see if anyone had any experiences to share. All the best, FG.

Seeking a cleaner for about 3 hours? work a week preferably Thursday or Friday, in a pretty tidy and well-kept flat. Must be English-speaking and references required. Many thanks.

Morning - thinking of using get set clean who are based on Lordship Lane and wanted to seek your collective wisdom about whether you would recommend them ! Any views gratefully received

Hi all - we held a surprise birthday party last night at La Signoria Italian on Lordship Lane - Dario and the team were very helpful and lots of fun! They did us a great set menu, let us decorate the table, put up with us singing along to Stevie Wonder, did a lovely cake and altogether helped us have a fabulous evening. Highly recommended!

Hi guys - anyone know of a tennis coach who would be free during the day to to coach me in Dulwich park? I?m a false beginner ... have played on and off over the years but generally still not very good!

And if anyone fancies playing/ knocking up - let me know.

Hi all - can definitely recommend Vince. He was amazing! Fitting a dodgy Ikea wardobe and patching up various things in the flat. Very pleasant, professional and punctional. I really appreciated Vince's work and his approach. He even came round on a Sunday to sort something out for me urgently!

I can definitely recommend Lee - he was quick and reliable and fixed a leaking tap the same day.

Hi ! I'm looking for someone to board a loft for me - it's fairly shallow height-wise as it's on a back extension, and isn't the main loft, and the overall surface is about 15m2. Definitely looking for someone clean and tidy as I've just had the whole flat re-furbed so will need the bedroom with the loft hatch properly sealed from the rest of the flat (i.e. one of those industrial plastic sheets to fit around the doorframe, which work well), to ensure the rest of the flat is protected from dust etc.

Many thanks in advance

I will definitely recommend Pure View - I agree with all the comments and have been delighted with the carpentry and other work they did in my flat. They did several built-in cupboard, shelving, flooring and restored all woodwork in my four-storey flat! I have total confidence in them and their work is of extremely high quality, they take real care and are real craftsmen. I am overseas a lot but you are welcome to see my flat on Barry Road if I am around. Of all the builders I used Pure View were the tidiest, most professional and produced the highest quality work. Very happy customer!

I can't recommend Pure View enough. They did an absolutely fantastic job on lot of carpentry I had done in my flat while it was being renovated. They did a perfect job doing hand-made in-built cupboards in one bedroom, and hand-made cupboards in the living room. They also significantly improved a botched job I had had done on some other shelves and cupboards, which now look fantastic. Pure View are creative and helpful - I would never have thought I could have had the botched cupboards improved so much without replacing them. They also repaired and painted all woodwork in my flat including stair rails (three floors worth), skirting and doors, and put up additional floating shelving in several rooms. I am very lucky to have come across these high-quality, trustworthy craftsmen. During my revonations I used about 7 different sets of builders and Pure View are head and shoulders above the rest for the quality of their finish, their attention to detail and their customer service.

Hello I'm looking for someone good and reliable to re-do a shower room. I will buy the stuff but would like a little advice on the best options, although the layout would stay the same (it's not a massive space!). Ideally starting in the next week or so ... Which I realise is a long shot but do get in touch if you could fit in a job of this size. Thanks!

Hi all- have just had a room plastered by John McCann- really recommend him. Very professional, quick, tidy and did a perfect job. He's on 07905 044 912. (And is ok with my sharing his number.)

Hi I'd love to come and meet you tomorrow night as I'd like to join a local book club - but only saw this the other day and it definitely was not enough time to read AK! Do you have enough space for one extra tomorrow eve? If so, where?
