Building and handiman services


Recommended Posts

I cannot recommend highly enough Aston. With 24 hours notice he rescued are home from a plumbing nightmare. It required that is significant part of the kitchen was dismantled to allow access to drainage. He completed the initial part of the work, moving cabinets and ovens with a days notice. He returned immediately after the quite simple plumbing matter was resolved and rebuilt the kitchen. The quality of work was exceptional. I am already planning more projects for Aston to undertake.

I would like to add to the already extensive thread on Aston. I found him through EDF and having read such positive feedback, asked him to come and fix some roman blinds to my Victorian bay windows. I am really glad I did. He arrived on time and set about hanging my blinds. They were made to measure and unfortunately, I hadn't done a good job as they were a little out. However, Aston did a great job to make sure they fit and also that they hung straight. Given how old the building is, the window were a little crooked but he did a very neat job and they look absolutely wonderful. He made sure that I was happy with each blind he hung before moving on to the next one. He was also kind enough to help fix a door handle which required a bit of extra effort. He did a great job overall, was competitively priced and I would have no hesitation in asking him to help with other jobs. I do have a few more planned so will definitely be reaching out him!

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
