He's already been mentioned on this forum but would add my praise - Nerris is a very helpful, reasonable and skilled carpenter - solved a skirting board problem others had failed with and created a great new border-edge to our staircase. Nerris Bucius: 07875 046753

Roberts and Dennys of Peckham are great. Reasonable, really helpful, go the extra mile.

John Power, as just posted. Been delighted with his new boiler and ongoing care of it. 07977 909339

I think I found him on this forum a long time ago but would really recommend John Power and his team for boiler repairs, emergencies etc. He is really helpful, will always try to sort something out asap and is very fair and reasonable. John Power: 07977 909339

Would love any recommendations for an architect to come up with interesting ideas for a challenging side extension (over public sewer) - not just a small side return job. I will try to use someone local if poss! Thanks.

Have a large quantity of DIY rubbish (carpet/old fireplace rubble etc) that needs removing, would involve a couple of trips to the tip for a large van - heavy more than overly bulky. Please PM me if you interested. Thanks.

Fees have just gone up to a crazy ?79.80 per day for Under 2's and ?74.75 for Over 2's. Much is made of the fact it is rated Outstanding by Ofsted but surely not every Outstanding nursery charges this much? Am interested to know as this seems far too high to pay.

I recently used this company for painting outside of my house and found them very reasonable, professional and nice to deal with. Happy to provide more info on request, it's Alex and Damian at Student Painters & Decorators, 0800 8778616

Need to buy rather large quantity for my garden and have delivered locally this week...any recommendations? Thanks.

Hamish Lodge of Cut Above (Avondale Rd) - been featured on here, where I found him. A great guy, has done two jobs for me in past year, reasonable and helpful, gets booked up as so popular. 07971 055438.

Just been down to Nunhead Test Centre and its looks like it really has gone this time - do you happen to know if they have moved? We had work done about 6 weeks ago - they had problems processing card payments so maybe that was a bad sign...but such a lovely bunch of people...

Don't know whether it is new, got a flier through the door...

I recommend Philgence, for electrical work: a great guy, very helpful, affordable. He has done jobs for me for a few years - sorting out some dodgy amateur lighting circuits too. He's on 07808504603/ [email protected].

Have a bedroom that needs doing, and not the time myself: seeking to recruit someone who needs a bit of extra cash (and ideally has sander already/can help with sorting hire)! Thanks v much.

I've seen the recent Ofsted report but interested in some feedback from parents - do you think it's likely to improve further? Are you children happy there?

Local journalist looking for mums who've set up a new business whilst on a career break to have children. Ideally the business was inspired by their parenting experiences. Will need to be photographed for magazine, but this offers great free PR! Please PM me, thankyou.
