Hi Does anyone know of anyone who can fit a fire door and the appropriate frame? Thanks

Rahrah. I didn't think it could be rendered over?

Ooh great. Thanks

Thanks yes, I think I may look into that. Builder forum, here I come!

Thanks all. I had a suspicion that the cost was going to be out of my reach but the problem with just painting is that the pebble dash is scarred and missing in chunks where we've had work done. So I'm not actually sure if it would improve it. Maybe it's possible to get a spray of pebble dash over the messy bits to blend it and then paint it! Although I have absolutely no idea whether pebbke dashing as an art form still exists...

Ah. Ok thanks. Don't feel massively confident of what may be lurking underneath!

Any help would be welcome here. I have a pebble dash wall that has had some work and is now scarred, thus making said pebble dash even less attractive to the eye, and it wasn't pretty before. We need to move soon (baby coming! Agh!) and so we're looking for the cheapest, most effective way of making this good before we try and sell. Can it be plastered over? Does anyone know of anyone who does this kind of work locally? Any guidance would be massively appreciated. Thank you

Hello Did you ever find anyone to do this work for you? I need something similar doing and I'm not sure where to start. Many thanks

If you can be bothered to drive to Sydenham then I can't recommend Kevin at Knighton Motors highly enough.

Will check out both places, thanks. My nan died and left me her wedding ring so it's important to me that I get it done well.

I'll have a look, thanks

Morning Does anyone have a recommendation of where locallyish to take a ring for resizing? Thank you

Great.

No Alan, you are incorrect. I'm looking for advice. Jacks was trying to help but accidentally wrote the word 'or' instead of 'our'. But thanks for jumping in there.

Evening all. Anyone have any advice on where I can buy a wedding cake that fufills my tough criteria; Must taste nice and not cause us to remortgage the house. Many thanks in advance

The Gantry in Brockley is lovely

MrBen, sounds like you're getting a bargain, but perhaps a slightly different kind of service. Beverley, you speak much sense, thank you. I have only once left her a list, when I realised I wasn't getting much value for money, and she did do some of it, but I haven't left a list since so she's not bothered. I just assumed that perhaps she may use her own initiative and clean some stuff that was dirty without being asked. She came via a friend of mine who has a 3 bed house, so I presume she gets more bang for her buck as we pay the same price. Maybe I'll start saving for a self cleaning house, they exist, right?

Thanks everyone, time for me to man up, methinks.

I've told my other half he can pay me the ?35 and I'll do it. When she started I asked how many hours she did and she stressed that she didn't work by the hour, she worked until the job was finished. Which I'd be more than happy with if she'd only clean the bath before she sped out the door. I'm feeling a tad like I'm being taken for a ride. She only does the stuff I already do and I kinda wanted a cleaner to do the stuff I hate doing. I think our time may be up.

I have cleaner envy.

For ?35 she sweeps and mops my one bed flat. Does a bit of light dusting,kitchen surfaces, and a whizz round the bathroom. Stays for about an hour and a half tops. I've never had a cleaner before, I think I sort of expected more. Am I wrong?

Teeth. We actually found teeth.

Morning. I have many branches of a tall tree hanging over my garden and would love a recommendation of someone who can come and do some work on it for us Many thanks

Just wanted to crash this thread to ask if there were any more recommendations for someone who could deal with some rising damp? It's a builder minefield out there....

That's brilliant, thank you. Most tempted as I know it will fit through our tiny door, just wondered if they were a bit too good to be true! Obviously not. Thanks again.
