Hi all, I also got Aria's number from here. He was very responsive, helpful and did what he said he would do! Would definitely use again and recommend.

I am very happy to recommend James. I called him to fix some central heating pipes and he came out the same day. Very positive and "can-do" attitude. Would definitely use him again.

Hi, I am looking for a handyman too. Good people are hard to find.

If they have experience in measuring properties then this would be a bonus. We are also looking to train someone to do the above.With a mixture of on-the-job training and formal training.

Hi all, Last year we moved into a new office (an old gym) and had to get it decorated throughout. We used a decorator recommended by a friend called Chris (CN Decorating), his number is 07951607767. Chris and his team did an excellent job and gave us plenty of useful advice. Last month we needed to get our hallway decorated so we used Chris again, and his service was just as good as before. Nice guy with good pricing. Cant recommend him highly enough!

I used Carl recently after recommendations on EDF. He and his mate Paul were excellent! Tidy, on-time (flexible as we're not early risers) and a very good finish. Happy to recommend them to anyone.

I used a plumber called Alan (07983688451) last week to try and find where a leak was coming from. He came the day after I found him on this site to have a look. Suggested where it might be coming from and what I could do (to save on him charging) and I found the leak. Will definitely use him to install new shower.

Hi, Does anyone know who owns the chinese restaurant (now closed) called Chopsticks? Any clues would be much apreciated. Thanks,

Hi Ed, This forum is a very good way to communicate with local people - never joined a forum before, and there seems to be so much talent and local businesses out there! Not sure if its been suggested before but is there any merit in starting/setting up a "business corner" on the forum? not so people can advertise their wares, but more for advice, tips, sharing of information, drinking, airing problems, etc. I run a local business and always have questions, staff/premises/red tape issues and so on and thought i cant be the only one?! what do you think? - be gentle, its just an idea! thanks

I too think all of this is higly amusing. I was born in East Dulwich hospital, went to school at Heber and roam the streets of ED until my family moved to Forest Hill in 1981. I have view the current trend(iness) with a mixture of joy & dread. Am i glad that the run down pubs and retails units have had facelifts - Yes. Am i glad that family of my friends have sold they're properties to newbies for a small fortune? - Yes. I am sad that as i trip over trendy labelled 3 wheeled buggys parked in the doorway of Cafe Nero, wearing my weekend decorating clothes i get scornful looks from ladys wot lunch, looking at me as if the tradesmens entrance round the back. Dont give it love! - some of us 'ave been round these sides for donkeys! If we cant keep a mix of the new, the quirky and the old (just like London as a whole) then we better all pack up and get the hell out of Dodge!
