Gardener required for clearing/weeding (and advice!)

Recommended Posts

Good afternoon,


We're looking for someone to come and do some work on an area of our front garden that has been taken over by BAMBOO and various weeds. It's a great sun trap, and - once cleared - we'd welcome some advice on the garden as a whole, if the soil type/depth is good enough to "work with", etc.


We're in SE22. Happy to send photos via PM. Thanks

Hi there


We are looking for someone who would be interested in helping us to get our garden into good shape and keep it that way! It is a small (50 foot) garden with a 1x3 meter bed, bit of lawn (which we can mow) some not very successful roses and lots of pots. We have had gardeners come and give it a makeover intermittently but have never achieved the regularity of gardening that means that it looks nice year round - this is what we are aiming for. So if you could offer us some regular help - (maybe a half day per month but would be open to discussion) - and are interested in helping us then please do get in touch. We would like a gardener that tells us what they think needs doing and then comes at the right time to do it - neither of us are good with plants!


No massive rush as we have a busy couple of weeks coming up but do get in touch and maybe we could arrange a meet up early/mid-May. We would like references please.


We look forward to hearing from you.


Thanks, Chloe

    • If you want to change a radiator and it is the same size, pretty straight forward.  isolate by turning the two valves, one is straight forward hand twist, the other side you need to take the cap off and get an adjustable spanner and turn till closed.  Both clockwise. Use the same spanner to undo the large nuts that fix the radiator to the pipework, open the bleed valve, get a flatish container to catch the water which is likely to be a grotty black, sheets/plastic underneath to protect floor/floor covering.  Then jiggle off, tipping as quick as you an into your water container. Fingers crossed it will be the same back plate fitting.  If not you will have to take the old one off and fix the new one. Replacement is a reverse, allowing the rad to refill and let the air out. No naked flames involved. If it is a different size I can advise on that too. Lots on line too: https://www.toolstation.com/help-and-advice/how-to-guides/how-to-remove-radiator?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19747119835&gclid=CjwKCAiAkvDMBhBMEiwAnUA9BR26YwBA6kOfcR4-JVxfJEjWdhRk6j0imCNcsIfu064wHN54-cs10xoCZ4cQAvD_BwE Although this is for a pressurised (combi) system where you need to get it back to pressure.  Pretty simple.  I don't bother with jointing compound.    
    • Fair enough - I'm absolutely wrong on that one. 👍
    • I'm still completely unclear what happened, apart from that a car apparently crashed into a lamp post opposite the Co-op. I presume the one in Lordship Lane, though the OP doesn't say. Was it speeding? Did it swerve to avoid someone who ran into the road? Did something go wrong with its brakes or steering? Did the driver have a medical emergency or fall asleep or got  distracted by something? Was there something slippery on the road surface? Was the driver hurt? Were any passengers hurt? Were any pedestrians or other road users hurt? Were there any witnesses?
