Anyone used a "mole" service to replace a lead pipe water main? If so, could you please pass along the details of the company you used?

Hi, I need to have a cushion made for a window bench. Any good local places to get that done?

We saw two guys there around 1pm acting very suspicious. One guy looked like he was spotting (and very clearly didn't want to be seen) and the other was either placing something or taking something out of a trash bin.

Anyone else seen some dodgy activity going on around there? I think we saw a drug deal happening there about a week ago.

I feel like Wuli Wuli has gone down hill over the last year or so. Any other good recommendations (need to have delivery option)?

Hi all, Can anyone recommend a good private paediatrician near ED? I would like to take my daughters for regular check-ups plus have someone to call (who knows my daughters) if they are ill. King's is a good option but seems only to be useful for more difficult medical problems. Our regular GP is of course an option but I would prefer someone who has specialized in children's care. Many thanks.

you would think they could do it quicker than in 4 years time. Demand is already there.

All: I have used Malcolm and his colleague Tom Jarvis. They built us an absolutely outstanding kitchen (pictures attached). Malcolm and Tom are, apart from being two great guys, very professional, detailed oriented, efficient (sticking to timetables), have great taste and will help you through the design process when/as needed. We were looking at having a standard off-the-shelf kitchen (Magnet, Benchmarx) but, like the original OP, wanted something a little more special and started expanding our search. We found Malcolm and Tom, saw some previous kitchens they had build and loved the fact that they are local. It was the best thing we did in our project. Now, we have a beautiful kitchen that is the focal point of our house. If you are looking for a new kitchen, definitely give Malcolm a call. Any questions, just PM me. Best, LD929

Hi, I am looking for someone to lift my carpet, install 9mm plywood over floor and then relay carpet. Please PM me (1) if you have done this to your house before and whether you can recommend it or not and (2) if you know a good carpet layer to recommend. The carpet I bought is new and I wish the person who laid it had recommended this to me when I first had the chance. Best, LD929

Hi, I am looking for someone to help me design an open plan reception room. I don't think I am looking for an interior designer per se. Just someone to give me ideas and help me find the right sofas/chairs. Any ideas are welcome.

Not sure that is true. Of the 42 4-beds on the market, 24 are asking above ?1m.

You'd get a nice view of the park in that top floor flat.

We bought a 5 bed last year at around ?750k. Equivalent houses on the market now are going for around ?1.1m. The difference between then and now is that when we bid, we were one of many and therefore met asking; whereas now, those houses are likely to go significantly below asking. Houses just aren't turning as quickly, though that doesn't mean, I think, that on average prices in ED aren't increasing pretty steadily. As far as asking price, 3 beds seem to be at around ?800k for your standard terraced victorian.

I don't understand why you would want to leave ED

It was at peckham rye station (where you turn right when walking out) on Friday, June 12 -- I was there at around 9pm and saw police, no clue though what happened.

I am looking for someone to fix the brickwork on our front patio wall and install iron fencing. Any recommendations?

I hate ice cream vans, they pollute the air near playgrounds and they target obese children. I hope the one on Adys Road packs in.

Hi James, I would like to petition to have a zebra crossing where the flying pig / goose green playground are. That is a very busy area and people constantly try to cross there. How can we make that happen? -LD929

That junction really needs AT LEAST a zebra crossing but would be better off with a traffic light. People drive way too fast down east dulwich grove, and people turning onto east dulwich grove from LL often do so quite hastily without regard to foot traffic. Bermygirl, the problem is there are a lot of people walking up and down LL and not any effective means to cross what is a busy junction. Just as cars don't want to be left standing neither do pedestrians. Not a good situation for anyone really.

Hi, We have a retaining wall in our garden that has essentially been reduced to rubble that we need rebuilt. Any recommendation for a good builder / handyman to remove and rebuild the retaining wall would be appreciated. Thanks! LD

I actually think the design looks quite nice and pretty appropriate given the street.

Hi, I just had a new heating system put it. I have recently noticed an issue that is frankly baffling me: the boiler will not turn on in the evening (it turns on fine in the morning) despite that the thermostat / central heating saying that it is on. I made a small video showing the problem. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
