there is a place on Maxted road- on the corner with Oglander which will cut good quality thick foam to the size you want.

I think its called carole henry- anyway they make curtain,cushions etc. I got some for the same purpose there - not cheap but quality.

Can't remember the name of the online company, but we used boat grade foam - essentially the stuff used to line bunk beds etc in boats. It was reasonable price wise, nice and firm and fire resistant. They cut the pieces to size which was great as our bay window was not straight. I'll try and find the link.


Aha, it was the foam shop:

Thanks for the recommendation re the foam. We are going to make small window seats and use the online site - what does anyone recommend re covers for those. For such a small job (and these are v small window seats - it seems a bit ott to get from angel upholstery although I do agree they are fantastic.

Hi, Ive made a few window style seats for our house myself. I can?t use a sewing machine.

I have very successfully used beautiful H&M tablecloths to cover many occasional seats. I use a piece of ply or mdf or thin easy to cut to size wood. Pop on the foam, flip over and staple gun in place. Happy to send you photos and answer any questions if you want to give me your email adresss. Your forum email account is full and not mailable btw.

    • Hi everyone, I'm Gen, a catsitter based in Sydenham - if you're away this summer and need some care for your pets, please do consider me!  I can typically cover Sydenham, Forest Hill, Penge, Anerley, Crystal Palace, East Dulwich and parts of Peckham. If it's outside those areas, it still might be worth messaging me to see if I can help. I'm registered with Cat in a Flat, with flawless reviews – I'm happy to accept clients through there, or just directly (you can just DM me on the forum here) - whichever you're more comfortable with. I've been catsitting for a few years, and also used to volunteer for Celia Hammond.

    • And we humans bear a lot of responsibility for creating the conditions that brought foxes into urban settings. I certainly don't regard them as pests - they are noisy little criminals, but I'm very fond of them (we have huge numbers of them in my area - I rescued a lost baby fox earlier this year). However, there are pest control companies that use humane methods to deter them and redirect them to different territories (a friend of mine works for one, but sadly for OP, I don't think this is in their catchment area).
    • Please don't call them "pests". They are animals who have as much right to be here as we do. Which doesn't mean we can't use humane ways to keep them off our crops, like fruit cages and netting.
