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.

    • An excellent point, ed. I reckon you could possibly get the cheese down to 75g per person depending on how many courses, the cheese media one is using and the accompiaments. A thicker biscuit can really increase the power of your cheese dollar. I'd also recommend putting all the last year's chutneys and pickles from the back of the cupboard in a single Kilner jar, adding a bit of malt vinegar and a grated apple, then attaching a hand written label saying 'Pikey's Pickle: Autumn 2025'.  It's not Megan Markle levels of domestic deceit, but it works every time. Pre-portioning cheese seems arbitrary, but I think acceptable when it's 20 people. It gives people an idea of how much a serving is, and negates the issue of somebody, normally a brother in law or cousin's new boyfriend, not taking their share of the rind. Remember, you're doing them a favour. Somewhere in the room there's an older family member who could see it and never forget. It's disinheritance stuff. It also gives rise to the great postprandial game of 'Cheese!' where guests can swap their share of cheese for another. Tastier than Monopoly and far less cardboardy, cheeses can be traded like currency or commodities. Hard and soft cheeses, dependent on their relative strengths, normally settle at close to parity but I've seen blue cheeses trade at less than half the price.  It's a Stilton lover's paradise, if you can hold your nerve.  Goat cheese lovers can clean up, but need to beware. As volatile as the 1970's Argentinian Peso, it's up and down like a bride's nightie.   I think I'll stick to Neal's Yard, then.
    • Another vote for The Cheese Block on LL but for 20 adults, you'd better be willing to pay a fair chunk of money or hope that they'll be happy with very small amounts of cheese! Other than that, supermarket or search online for a large Christmas cheese hamper and take your pick. For example: https://www.finecheese.co.uk/collections/christmas-selections-hampers (only mentioning them as we had a gift hamper, much smaller than a big Christmas one, from them a while ago and it was very nice). I'm sure there are other excellent options.
