I can also recommend Lisa and Simon. I think Lisa normally looks after cats and Simon the dogs. We have used both and are very happy and have always found them very trustworthy, reliable and flexible. [email protected]

We have used Darren from Beechway Joinery quite a few times now and always been very happy with his work. You do have to chase him sometimes to confirm a fitting date but his work is very good. I'm happy for you to PM me if you want a picture, I'm sure I have one of a cabinet/bookshelf he fitted in my old flat. His number is 07861 248428.

Anybody know why the 63 is not currently running up to Honor Oak? Yesterday evening it was only going as far as Peckham Rye and this morning trying to get into town there is only the infrequent 363. Can't find any info from TFL.

Does anybody know of any electrical repair shops locally that could look at a Roberts radio for me? Many thanks

Hi Does anybody know which of the coffee shops/cafes/restaurants are open past 6.30/7pm on LL that you can go for just a coffee? Thanks

Hi, I need to get the extendable nozzle cord replaced on my vacuum cleaner, can anybody recommend anybody in the area that does this? I have a dyson upright incase this makes any difference. Thanks

Really, that's great to know! Thanks for sharing that red devil!

Thanks for your reply Jeremy, good to know that at least dormers are allowed. We are hoping to make the most of the space but also would like to only go through planning once! Might be ambitious but this is where I thought it would be useful to find somebody or a company that has experience in the process.

Hi, Does anybody have any experience with getting planning permission for their flat to have a loft conversion? Any advice on issues or restrictions by the planning office? Also, can you share what route you took, architect first or just used a loft conversion company? Many thanks

I'm looking to get window shutters fitted and wondered if anybody can recommend a company they have used recently? thanks

Has anybody noticed any water bottles or a tank being delivered by thames?

thanks for the reply. I'd checked the Thames website but it's not marked on there yet. Fingers crossed it's back on soon.

My water is off and I'm just wondering if it is effecting anybody else or if it just my property? thanks

Can anybody recommend a local cake maker? I'm looking to get a bespoke cake made for my sister in law's birthday. thanks

Nothing yet on Wood Vale.

Hi, I'm looking for a cat sitter for occasional weekends away. I have one cat who is 9 months old and not yet fully out and about. I'd like someone ideally local who can call a couple of times a day over the weekend. I'm in just on the border of SE22/23. Thanks

We have also had a similar charge for electrical testing despite the fact that we don't have any electrical equipment that is outside our property as there are no communal parts to our "block". We have also had brand new electrics fitted over the last 18 months and never been requested or allowed access by southwark council, yet they still insist this has taken place. We constantly have issues with the way they carry out works or not depending on what suits them rather than what is required by them as leasors.

Hi, We are planning to get a fireplace fitted and have been to several shops locally but we are also looking at reclamation yards to source our own. Can anybody recommend a fitter they have used and were happy with? It will be a solid fuel fire if this makes a difference. Many thanks Claire

Thanks for the advice. We took her to the south London emergency vet centre and she is not microchipped. They will keep her for a week incase her owners contact them.

RSPCA don't take stray kittens that are healthy, any advice on local vets that will be open. Called a couple but only have emergency numbers and its not exactly an emergency.

My husband was just driving throug forest hill and found this kitten sat in the road. It's black and white, very skinny, I can feel its ribs more than on a normal kitten. It's also quite dirty so I don't think it's just escaped. It does have a bright red collar. I've attached a picture but its not great as she won't stay still! If anybody knows of somebody who has lost a kitten, please let me know. Otherwise we will take to a locl vet/RSPCA. Thanks

Thanks for the replies. As our deeds are not clear, we have spoken to neighbours on both sides to check.

Hi, Does anybody know if there is a standard side of the fence you automatically own in a garden in southwark? Trying to work out which side is ours and our deeds are a bit sketchy? Thanks

We have recently bought a flat, one of two in a house that southwark council own the freehold of and we have ha issues already. We noticed that part of the roof was leaking over 4 weeks ago and after an initial possible response and somebody calling out to look at it, we have been passed from person to person with no answers yet. We are trying to renovate but water is still coming in which is heartbreaking due to the amount of work we are doing and paying to have done. Will definitley look at the leaseholders association.

I used to live on LL near Shawbury Road and the only day parking was ever an issue was Saturdays. It was annoying to have to drive round and round looking for a space or park streets away when I've just popped to Sainsbury's. On the other hand, it was a pleasure to be able to access LL and surrounding streets on foot and so quickly, it's such a lovely area.
