This has been the fourth time we have asked Aston to help us out and that itself is a testament to his reliability, pleasantness and the very high quality of his work. He assembled a large IKEA display cabinet, put up a wall bracket, re-secured a fire alarm to the ceiling and fixed a longstanding problem with a wardrobe door that wouldn?t close properly. When necessary he would consult to ensure things were placed where we wanted them but otherwise he worked quietly and efficiently- getting things done with no fuss at all. Very high quality work at a fair price. We will most definitely be calling in Aston again!

Another recmomendation for Aston. Fixed two door handles on hollow doors, put a bead of silicone around some tiles, repaired a leaking tap, a shower door that was hitting the frame, put a TV and a whiteboard on the wall. Highly efficient, excellent workmanship and a lovely guy. Not the cheapest I suspect but you get what you pay for. Deserves every one of these good reviews

Aston fixed our porch tile today. The replacement tiles that I had bought was slightly different in size to the existing ones but Aston made it work. I am really pleased with the result. We are now asking Aston to fo more work for us.

I would highly recommend Aston, he is reliable, friendly and professional.

We needed to fix lots of old door handles locks and latches that didn?t shut and now all the doors close properly and the handles work really well. He was good at explaining what needed to be done and we were very happy with the work.

Aston has been brilliant for household jobs that are beyond our DIY skills. He is punctual and gets the job done quickly. He is also a very nice bloke. He has just put up double, ceiling mounted, aluminium curtain tracks in our bay window. They had to be bent carefully to fit, and cut with precision. Even though Aston had not worked with this type of curtain track before, he did the job very neatly and professionally in less time than I thought it would take. Our new curtains look fantastic.

Thank you forumites for the excellent recommendation. Aston assembled and hung two flat pack kids? bookcases for me, fixed a heavy mirror to the wall and mended some broken drawers which had been nagging at me for ages. He did everything with very good grace and to a high standard. He is also very nice and was kind to my toddlers. Thanks Aston.

Another very happy customer. Aston has just given us a new shed felt roof and completed a small woodwork job. He is great to deal with - good communication, quick quote and booked me in swiftly. He did a lovely job and was very friendly and considerate.

Aston has done a number of indoor jobs for us and done them brilliantly. This time we had a badly leaning garden fence which we needed to get repaired quickly and well to avoid it falling into our neighbors? garden. Aston confirmed that he would be able to do the fence repair and that he is experienced at doing it. His solution was to used a concrete post which is sunk into the ground and attached to the leaning post to straighten and secure it. As usual Aston was punctual, efficient and he is a thoroughly nice and reliable guy. The fence is now straight, stable and very secure. Aston is now firmly our go-to person when we need work done that we simply shouldn?t tackle ourselves.

    • Oh yes, it could have been about there, I can't remember exactly. At one point there seemed to be a load of pizza places opening on NCR. I vaguely remember the one we used to use was put out of business by another one which opened.
    • That Neal Street veggie cafe was great. Food For Thought ❤️
    • Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, You won't be aware that i proposed infill sites for housing in East Dulwich - the garages on Bassano Street and Henslowe that respectively became 1-4 Dill Terrace family houses and the 78, 80, 80A Henslowe Street family houses. These were council owned garages and it was frustrating how slow the council was to go from my idea to completion (roughly eight years). East Dulwich has some other vacant WW2 bomb sites I'm guessing that the private land owners have been sitting on.Owe for a land tax for vacant land.  WRT to the builders yard by East dulwich station. Southwark Council has an agreed policy the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum. But the approved scheme is 9 storeys of student accommodation. Very hard to put this genie back in the bottle. The council has recently publicly stated lower ratios of social housing will be required. I will be amazed if the developer doesn't submit another application now they have the 9 storeys approved but with significantly less social housing. The less social housing the higher the land values. The higher the land values the less social housing viability reports state are possible.  If we really want to increase home supply - Southwark have over 6,000 empty homes. Vancouver charges a low % of the value of empty homes and rapidly eased this problem. Parts of Wales have introduced under Article 4 planning permission is required for second homes seeing within 12 months a dramatic decrease in property prices. Southwark Council have Article 4 requirements - why not add this one? It takes National political will to solve this AND regional and local authorities such as the second home council tax premium and these being used promptly. 
    • https://www.letslinkuk.net/ I'm interested to know why the OP didn't find this sort of scheme to work, as I would have thought it was much harder to find someone to do a direct exchange with? Does anybody else have experience of a scheme like this? Happy to be persuaded!
