unfortunately the council HAS to spend its roadworks allocation before the end of the financial year....the motto in the public sector is 'use it, or lose it'.....there will never be any joined up thinking because you are talking about politicians here and they are not really known for their common sense!

Hi bels123,

Apologies only just seen this.

The junction of East Dulwich Grove with Lordship Lane had a large gushing water leak. AS soon as I heard about this I reported this to Thames Water - the resident who alerted me had not been able to get through to them - and also asked that council highways team give the immediate area more salt. Great that hames Water then reacted so quickly to repair the leak but it did mean an emergency closure of the junction and diversion of those bus routes and many others. Sorry.

Probably because the contractor would have to be paid for his resources to be stood idle. That would be a waste of money.

      Shower enclosure installation

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags.

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
