Why the unreliable tradesmen!? Be careful...

Having posted on here before about the bad experiences of tradesmen in Dulwich and being a resident here for 15 years I find it shocking these people can still get away with it.


I thought I would spend some time doing up my flat starting with the bathroom and bedroom. 7 months and a small fortune on the bathroom still isn't finished. The first guy - Andy - was unbelievable! After a MONTH of very very little apart from talking, I made the mistake of simply asking for it to be at least plumbed in by xmas as my family were visiting - his response was to walk out 2 DAYS before Xmas with the place in a mess and leaving a note asking for half the money. All he had done is pull up a few tiles! There was damage throughout my flat including a wrecked floor and I am still recovering the damage which has had to be sorted out a cost. To top it off when I finally got the bathroom sorted there was a leak under the floorboards which was apparently down to shoddy workmanship. I then hired a local plumber on recommendation, Simon - who I paid up front - the leak was fixed thankfully but he has since disappeared leaving tiles having not been replaced, new ones I bought broken and refuses to return my house keys meaning I've incurred another cost to replace the locks.



It's all a disgraceful way to treat a customer. The whole process has been a nightmare. I am not intending to damage businesses but I'm SICK of dealing with unreliable tradesmen. In MY experience Dulwich is in dire need of reliable trustworthy tradesmen...

      Pride in place

      Looking at the areas which will be receiving funds, there seems to be a couple of pretty fundamental flaws with the scheme. In many of these areas, spend isn't migrating from high streets to online, there simply isn't any disposable income to migrate. No amount of tarting a place up is going to change the fact that these places are the poorest and most deprived in country - people simply have nothing to spend. Secondly, a lot of these areas no longer have an extant retail infrastructure to improve upon - it went donkey's years ago, along with the pubs. My childhood high street is getting a grant. Maybe they'll liven up Market Street by celebrating our notable locals - they could commission a Ricky Hatton mural, a statue of The Moors Murderers or a 'Walk of Shame' pavement for Harold Shipman's victims (it's quite a long street). But, whatever it is, I doubt it's going to show a decent return when the only businesses still trading are 'Bargain Booze' outlets, Bangladeshi takeaways, bookies and barbers.

      Can anyone recommend the best place to watch this for free? Limited views from West Dulwich.  Maybe Dawson Heights area got a good view?

      Yeah, who doesn’t pine for their youth? But it doesn’t alter the fact that in that in the post war period, chopping and changing as we were between Labour and Tory governments, there was still a collective consensus that the country and society was going inevitably forward to something better. Until that cow faced bitch and her minions came in to power in ‘79 and we have been living with the consequences ever since. “There is no such thing as society, there is only individuals and families”

      Dungeons and dragons kids group?

      Hi, my son is nine and wants to get into playing dungeons and dragons. Does anyone know of a children’s group playing nearby? Neither me or my husband ever played so we’re at a loss as to how to help!
