Aston hung and fixed a kitchen cupboard to the wall for us, including sourcing the wall plates himself and turning up with all the equipment he needed. You can always trust him to do the job to a very high standard. Would echo the comments above, we highly recommend him and would use him again.

Also wanted to add to the great recommendations. We?ve used Aston?s services in the past and recently asked him to come and hang some mirrors / pictures / clocks and he was great as usual - friendly, reasonable and did a great job, getting things exactly as we wanted them.
And another recommendation for Aston! Aston has done jobs for us before, he came round this week and hung pictures / mirrors and mended our fence (among other things). He is really friendly and his work is of a very high standard. We'll definitely use him again.
I'd also like to recommend Aston. I live in Nunhead and he came over at short notice this last week to hang pictures and mirrors, remove our garden gate and fit a few other smaller items. I found Aston via recommendations in this forum and was not disappointed! He was quick and efficient, he cleaned up any mess and was really keen to ensure his work was in line with my expectations. I'd definitely use him again.

I would also like to recommend Aston's services! He did a number of jobs in our house including fixing some large bookcases to a wall, resealing our bath, filling in the grouting in some stone slabs and replacing some rotten decking in our patio. He's fantastic - responsive, professional, friendly. He and his colleague did a brilliant job on everything and I'm already wondering what I can ask him to do next! Would highly recommend.

A big thumbs up for Aston. He has recently put up and painted some fences for me, as well as painted the back of my house, which I?m very pleased with. He is polite, a good communicator, turns up when he says he will, works hard, and tidies up afterwards. Highly recommended.

Aston has just finished a decorating job in our lounge. The finish is to a very high standard and the prep work he did on some walls that need a fair bit of attention was excellent. Highly recommended and would use again.


Also a thoroughly nice guy.

Thanks Aston - Chris & B.

Aston is our go-to for when we need things done. We hired him to fit shelves in our flat a few years ago and when we moved, we hired to Aston again to take the shelves down and also help with disassembling a kitchen table and sofa bed. When we moved into our new house, Aston helped us to fit wardrobes and drawers to the wall and hang a mirror, picture frames and install curtain rods. There's no job he can't handle! Very friendly and reasonably priced, I recommend Aston very highly and you'll be very happy with his service and commitment.

Aston also did some work for me last week in Forest Hill. I needed some pictures hanging and without the necessary tools, I asked him to help. He was really responsive to the query, did a fantastic job, was really friendly, punctual and reasonably priced. I will certainly be asking him to help with other jobs and highly recommend him to others!

We?ve used Aston a number of times now across the two houses we?ve lived in in ED. He is friendly, punctual, competent and has always done a good job with all our random DIY requests! I would, and often do, recommend him to others.

    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
