Another recommendation for Dave from Down The Drain. I originally called him a few months ago for a problem that, rather embarrassingly, resolved itself before he arrived. But despite the fact that he had spent half an hour looking for our flat in Tulse Hill ( I am rubbish at giving directions) and then found he had no job to do once he got there, he refused to charge any call out fee and offered my husband advise that would mean we could fix things ourselves next time. I called him last Friday afternoon about a blocked kitchen drain, he came around first thing on Saturday morning and the problem was resolved within half an hour. Dave is fast, efficient, very fairly priced and just a very nice guy. We feel very secure knowing if our drains start messing around we will have Dave to help us out. :)

I would like to add my vote for Luke at Stress Free Removals. Luke originally came round to quote for a few pieces of large and /or heavy furniture as my husband and I were going to do most of the boxes and bits by ourselves. Unfortunately my husband became ill and was taken into hospital and I ended up having to move out of our old flat and into the new one on my own. Luke came round at 6pm on Thursday night expecting to have to move about 6 pieces of furniture but instead found me and a mountain of boxes as well as twice the furniture I had told him about. He didn't even blink, just said OK and got on with loading the van. He also agreed to take away the old fridge and cooker for me as I didn't need them in the new place. There was a complication because the cooker was electric and connected into a box on the wall. So Luke offered to call a friend of his who knew how to disconnect it and they would come round the next day and take it away for me. The friend Luke had helping him on Thursday night was called away so Luke carried all the furniture up the stairs at the new flat by himself. By the time it was all in it was 9pm yet, instead of getting out of there as fast as he could, he insisted on helping me put our fouton back together again. A total star! ( oh and as he was leaving he told me he had one last job, he was going to collect something someone had bought on eBay and deliver it to them. So it seems he will do any job, big or small). Luke is a lovely guy, hardworking and reliable. He does what he says he is going to do and I can't recommend him enough. [email protected] or mobile 07957 752 785
