[see my previous post]

Hi there,

I just hired Norberts Pick Up to take a bunch of heavy plants in terracotta pots across town to Hackney. I can highly recommend Norbert. He and his partner arrived on time, were friendly and efficient, and we reached the destination - including pick up and delivery - within the hour. Very reasonable fee of ?60. I included a tip as I was so pleased with the service.

I am moving within the area and am looking for a careful yet budget-friendly mover. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Hello,

I am selling my flat and moving into rental accommodation while I look for a new place to live and need to store excess furniture as the rental property is a lot smaller than my current place.

Can anyone recommend a reliable and budget-friendly storage container company?

Thank you

I recently hired John Russell, following another ED Forum's recommendation, to carry out repairs to facade and spare bedroom. He was a pleasure to deal with and his work of a high standard.

Following another member of the ED Forum's recommendation, John Russell carried out some work on my c.1900 property, repairing external leaks, painting (and arranging scaffolding) for the facade, and making good my spare room.

John was a pleasure to deal with, prompt, reliable and very personable. His work was of a high standard and his rates extremely fair.

I recommend him highly and will certainly hire him again.

I would just like to add that I have been let down by George. I contacted him because he came highly recommended on this site. In response to my enquiry he visited me and sent me a quote for a job which is very time-sensitive as it involves damp damage to my spare room which I needed to get taken care of so that I could have friends stay over Christmas.

I agreed to his quote but unfortunately he has not replied to half a dozen messages, emails and texts - even to let me know that he was no longer interested in taking on the job.

With xmas round the corner I now have to put up my friends in a damp, wall damaged room.

From the comments here I understand that he can do very good work. But I wanted to share my disappointing experience with the Forum, as this is where I came across his name.

Hello there,

Can anyone recommend a local builder (I am in Sydenham SE26) to carry out repairs on an external wall, and redecorate the affected internal wall? Accessing the external wall will require scaffolding: it's a hall level flat, above ground level, with a basement beneath.

A builder recommended on this site quoted me but has now gone silent. As I cannot use my spare room because of damp damage, and have guests coming for xmas, it has now become urgent.

Hi All,

My central heating has stopped working and I am struggling to figure out the instructions. Does anyone have a recommendation on someone to get it back to rights?

Thank you,

Hello there,

Does anyone have suggestions for someone to quote on replacing my carpets? I am on a tight budget so am looking for affordable options.

Thank you.

Hello there,

I am looking for someone to repair leaks in the external wall to the 1900 building in which I live, which has caused leaks in my spare bedroom. I'll then need someone to patch up the wall in the relevant room once the leaks have been fixed and the room dried out.

Any recommendations would be gratefully received.

Thank you,

Helena

Hello, I'd like to add my recommendation for Brad. I called him this morning to ask if he could come and clean my turkish rug, which my cat has been using as a litter box. He was able to come within one hour! and was most personable and helpful, providing an excellent service. I will be rebooking Brad for next month to do a full fumigation of my flat, due to moths in the carpet. A class act! and at a reasonable rate.

Can anyone recommend someone to eliminate the moths that have infested my carpets (yuck!).

Thank you,

Helena

Hang a large mirror which has fallen off its mounts

Replace wooden plank on deck

Sydenham SE26

I'd like to add my recommendation for Spoiltdog aka Andy. Andy together with Richard visited me today to hang a large antique mirror for me. They responded within a matter of hours and were here the very next morning. They did a great job, for a very reasonable price, and were pleasant and jolly to boot.

I will definitely be inviting them back to carry out a few other odd jobs for me as the high quality of their work coupled with their professionalism and courtesy cannot be faulted.

I am looking for help with hanging a very large wood-framed antique mirror, 130 x 146 cm. It is definitely a two-person job. It would probably require installing a ledge for the mirror to sit on (this is what I had in my last place), although I am open to suggestions.

Live in Sydenham near Crystal Palace Park.

Would like this does before 11 April.

Thank you,

Having read this forum thread I decided to ask Nick to take care of a few DIY jobs that I needed handling last week. I could't have been more impressed. What I had thought was a small issue with damage relating to a leak turned out to be a much larger problem. Nick took of it immediately, working skilfully and carefully to assess the damage and take necessary action. His fee was also very reasonable.

Not only does Nick strike me as knowledgable and skilled, he is also a thoroughly courteous and professional chap. I recommend him highly and am already planning to book him for further work.

Can anyone recommend someone - or perhaps have the skills yourself? - to re-prograamme my Bosch oven? It has pre-existing settings that I cannot figure out how to change.

Thank you.

I can recommend Bradley who cleaned my hall and bedroom carpets on Saturday. He was very reliable, professional and courteous. He gave a quote in advance, came when he said he would (in fact a bit early!), was done in an hour, and left my carpets spotlessly clean. A great bit of spring cleaning at what I felt was a reasonable price.

his number is 07946 328565

Hi everyone,

I am looking for someone to:

- put up a blind

- reconnect a ceiling light (so would involve electrics)

- paint the outside frame for a French door

I would be most grateful for recommendations.

Thank you very much.

Hi everyone,

Can anyone recommend someone to clean my stained hall carpets?

Many thanks,

for stained hall carpet

thanks!

Thank you, Rosie. That size of class sounds great.

Thank you, Bryan. I think you are right about the effects of the loss of a companion.

As my cat was urinating on floor mats I have removed them in the hope that this will deter that particular behaviour. A vet advised that I set up a 2nd litter box and place some grass in it - as he also likes to urinate outside. So we will see!

Best wishes,

Helena

Ideally with one-to-one attention rather than a 'one size fits all' approach

Thank you
