I live just off Barry Road and the problems are ongoing. This morning I received two copies of Private Eye: the current one and the previous one - over a fortnight late. Postal deliveries are generally very sporadic, and almost everything is late.

See my post (just posted now) recommending Collin Smith.

For anyone looking for an electrician, I can highly recommend Collin Smith (CGS Electrical installations), as recommended by others on the Forum in the past. Collin recently installed down-lighters in our hallway as well as moving/installing two other ceiling light fittings. Collin was very helpful in coming to assess the job first before quoting and also organising a plasterer/decorator to make good the ceiling as soon as the wiring was all done. The pricing for the work was entirely in line with expectations, and Collin was reliable, professional and very efficient. Collin can be contacted on 07956 215163 or [email protected] Highly recommended! I'm happy to take any follow-up enquiries by phone if that would be helpful (private message me here if so). Aidan

Another strong recommendation for Elliot! On the strength of the reviews here we commissioned Elliot to make and install some wall-to-wall fitted bookshelves, and were delighted with the result. Elliot was efficient, reliable and highly professional throughout the whole process of quoting and scheduling the work: he not only completed the project ahead of schedule, he gave us a discount on the final invoice because the work had gone more quickly than anticipated. The shelving is beautifully made and Elliot's work is of very high quality. Highly recommended!

If you are looking for a builder to install or convert a bathroom, kitchen or other part of your house, you should definitely look no further than Aquabuild. Robert and his team recently rebuilt both our bathrooms, and we were absolutely delighted with their work. Robert is highly efficient, very organised and professional, and runs a wonderful team. The work was carried out with a minimum of fuss, exactly on budget and ahead of schedule, with superb results. His attention to detail is outstanding: all the appliances, tiling and carpentry are still flawless after several months of use now. Robert speaks excellent English and was in daily communication with us by text and email throughout the works to keep us up to date with progress. He is keen to build up his business in East Dulwich and I and my wife would be very happy to give a reference for him in person - do message me here. Aquabuild have a website here which gives good examples of their work: http://www.aqua-build.co.uk/ Aidan Oliver 07977 137298

I have no hesitation in recommending Sebastian as a decorator. He recently undertook the complete repainting of our kitchen and living room: the work was of an extremely high quality, and characterised by superb attention to detail. Sebastian is reliable, extremely efficient and professional, and clearly expert in his trade. My wife and I would be happy to talk directly to anyone wanting a personal reference. See above for his contact details and website address. He is very deserving of your business!
