  1. Martin Chandler 07769 676055


    After the series of cowboys that were supplied by our loft converion company, Martin has restored my faith in tradesmen. He is unobtrusive, polite and best of all a very good painter. Always friendly, he would say Hello in the morning and goodbye in the evening, but otherwise we didnt know he was in the house. The couple of days I was home and engaged him, he was very good company. He visited the site twice before we started and had a much better idea of my needs than I did. From the first meeting I knew I was in good hands. It's a pleasure to have a real professional on the job. My wife was impressed with how accomodating and respectful he was of her and our 12 weeks old baby. He also interacted and was wonderfully patient with our 3 year old. I cannot recommend him enough.


    Note: Martin is a local tradesman and has no connection to the loft conversion company.

    I'm not having a go here, just clarifying - the venues requiring a copy of your id do tell you this, as to get in you need a photo id usually your passport or driving licence. They make it quite clear as most people dont take their passports with them on a night out.

    You do know you dont have to carry a nectar card or use it at sainsburys?

    Several Southwark clubs have had this imposed on them already and you are right, a lot of people stay away because of it.

    Should you really have to be on a database to go out and enjoy yourself. Perhaps next we should have to swipe into Sainsburys to do our shopping in case we're shoplifters?

    This doesnt work btw, its easy enough to pass weapons into a venue via the smoking area.

    It is indeed. Its a sad society where the potential consequences of this arent a sufficient deterrent.
