Hi there, we were thinking of having the pebbledash on our house removed but the costs are very high. So now we're considering repainting however the current coat of paint is coming off in small patches all over so probably needs to be removed - or at least rubbed down but very difficult due to the texture of the damn stuff. I think it is called 'wet dash' so the stones were mixed in with the cement before being applied. The dash itself seems sound, just the paint that is flaky. We need good professional advice and help in getting it sorted. Can anyone recommend a company that may be able to help us? (maybe a house painting specialist?)

I was in yesterday. Just in case someone was thinking of trying their produce (any steak fans, it's well worth the trip in from Dulwich), they are closing on the 24th December (I thought they were open until 31st). They are hoping to open on a permanent basis in Feb.

Yes, me too. He has done a great job on our roof and really flexible with arrangements.

Also open at the weekend saturday and sunday (limited hours on sunday but I can't remember exactly when). It does get quite busy then though. We had their 'Italian parcels' yesterday - absolutely divine.

Hi there, just thought I would mention a lovely pop-up butchers that has opened in Forest Hill opp Sainsbury. They are open for the month of December (and we are hoping it becomes a more permanent fixture), providing beautifully aged meat from old breeds e.g. beef is Dexter. They are in collaboration with Franklins so also have some veggies and condiments, etc available. I have used William Rose who are ok-ish, and love Sparkes, who I thought couldn't be beaten on quality, but 'The Butchery' has really impressed me. We first tried their 45 day aged T-Bone steak which was divine (cut to the thickness that you want), and have returned since for more unusual cuts. The staff are wonderfully friendly, helpful and full of advice on how to cook the various cuts, and properly wrap the meat in brown paper. If you're in the area please drop in and support them.
