None on Dunstans upper end either. Thames water website says this is planned maintenance of a burst pipe at Overhill and that work will run from 18-20 June. Not sure if they're planning to supply temporary water but given the weather you'd imagine it would be a no brainer.

Exactly, JamesBond 2007! We had this problem about 6 months ago, and again before that. I was so fed up last time, I insisted Thames Water pay me the compensation, under their policies. The water rates are not cheap and its not ok that they have failed to sufficiently deal with this recurring problem. As for the 'updates' on their websites, telling customers that they are 'dealing with it' (what does that even mean?) and will 'update again' in a few hours (as if they have told us anything remotely useful), is unacceptable. I'm fuming!

or we fail to turn your water supply back on within the time promised, we will automatically pay our domestic customers ?30 and our business customers ?50. For each extra 24-hour period that you have no water, we will pay an additional ?10 to domestic customers and ?25 to business customers.


'Normal' burst mains - 12 hours to restore service - and 'If a larger 'strategic' water main bursts, we guarantee to fix it within 48 hours


Last time this happened they restored service in about 11Hrs 55mins. (What a surprise!)


No idea what they will say this 'main' is - my guessing is if they can't fix it in 12 hours it will be designated a larger 'strategic' water main.

Further to above, apparently ?30 is credited to your account if the supply is out for 12 hours or more; then ?10 for each 24 hour period. Which would be laughably poor if it was funny. But it isn't. Did anyone notice what time it went off? We've certainly not had any since about 07.00.

    • These are the smokeless fuels you can burn on a open fireplace in Southwark: https://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/fuels-php/england/ https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/environment/air-quality/reduce-air-pollution/reduce-smoke
    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
    • We found a recommendation for Geek Electrics on a here after we wanted to have a electrical inspection of a property we are buying. From the very beginning through to the end Bob was responsive, helpful and demonstrated his knowledge. He has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. We will defiantly be using Bob again and would thoroughly recommend him! His details are... www.geekelectrics.co.uk 07453 407 226 [email protected]
