We?ve just had a black and white tiled path laid at our Victorian terrace by Doda, a brilliant builder who I wouldn?t hesitate to recommend. He also re-rendered our walls, fitted railings and a new gate, and laid slate slabs to the side.


Doda was diligent, polite, honest and a pleasure to have around. His rates were very reasonable too. Let me know if you?d like to see photos of our path - happy to send.


Contact Doda on 07916 846473.

Hi Kittenheels - thank you so much for this recommendation. I rang Doda after reading your message and he came round straight away to give me a quote and we went ahead with it. The job is almost finished and I am so happy with it, I wanted to share too!


Nik & Doda completely renovated the front of our Victorian terraced house. They worked to our brief and built new walls, piers and laid a tiled path and resin surface, as well as prepping and painting the front of the house and door. Much of the detail on the front of the house had been lost due to years of just painting over it, but Nik took great care to bring back the sharp edges and detail before painting. It was all done for a good price and with a smile. We are fussy but have been so pleased with this company and would definitely use them again and highly recommend them.


Edited to include photos! And again to take off the duplicate photo!!

A further recommendation for Doda and his colleague.


Doda attended my property and provided a quote within an hour and completed the works the following day. The job was a relatively small one, taking up old tiles and replacing with new on my front door step. Doda provided expert knowledge, was a tidy worker and was very punctual. His quote was also very competitive. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

Hello - Just wanted to add my recommendation for Doda and his team who have just finished a Victorian tiled path at my house as well as painting a wall and digging and taking away a dead hedge. Very neat and tidy job and to a high standard.

Adding my recommendation to this thread, which is where I came across Bujar Doda.


What a brilliant find! Bujar is an excellent builder and a great person to deal with.


We got him to do various repairs to our long boundary wall in Camberwell, including


- removing and reinstating a tree damaged section of brick wall

- repointing and refacing brickwork

- repairing and painting sections

- repairs to victorian tiled path


He was quick to come round, produced a reasonable quote and was great on site - good communicator, tidy and really nice to have around. We were really pleased with the end result and very much hope to work with him again on other projects, but happy to recommend him in the meantime!

Hello,


I just wanted to reiterate how good Bujjar Doda is. He has just completed some work to both our front and back gardens in Camberwell; porcelain slabs at the front and back and replacement fencing with concrete posts and gravel boards. We got lucky and managed to catch him while he was between big jobs and he managed to fit us in last minute. We did have to panic buy the slabs and fencing on Monday evening for him to start on the Tuesday but the panic was worth it. He?s an excellent builder and I would wholeheartedly recommend him. He?s clean and polite, as is his worker and they go like the clappers with only a short break for lunch. None of the messing around you get with other builders/workers who promise to turn up and then they don?t.


I?m so glad I found his details on the EDF. We need a replacement shower as well and I would rather wait the 4 months to get him to do it than have someone come around to quote and then never get back to us. So sick of tradesmen doing that over the last year.

      GALA 2026

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      While it is good that GALA have withdrawn their application for a second weekend, local people and councillors will likely have the same fight on their hands for next year's event. In reading the consultation report, I noted the Council were putting the GALA event in the same light as all the other events that use the park, like the Circus, the Fair and even the FOPR fete. ALL of those events use the common, not the park, and cause nothing like the level of noise and/or disruption of the GALA event. Even the two day Irish Festival (for those that remember that one) was never as noisy as GALA. So there is some disingenuity and hypocrisy from the Council on this, something I wll point out in my response to the report. The other point to note was that in past years branches were cut back for the fencing. Last year the council promised no trees would be cut after pushback, but they seem to now be reverting to a position of 'only in agreement with the council's arbourist'. Is this more hypocrisy from 'green' Southwark who seem to once again be ok with defacing trees for a fence that is up for just days? The people who now own GALA don't live in this area. GALA as an event began in Brockwell Park. It then lost its place there to bigger events (that pesumably could pay Lambeth Council more). One of the then company directors lived on the Rye Hill Estate next to the park and that is likely how Peckham Rye came to be the new choice for the event. That person is no longer involved. Today's GALA company is not the same as the 'We Are the Fair' company that held that first event, not the same in scope, aim or culture. And therein lies the problem. It's not a local community led enterprise, but a commercial one, underwritten by a venture capital company. The same company co-run the Rally Event each year in Southwark Park, which btw is licensed as a one day event only. That does seem to be truer to the original 'We Are the Fair' vision, but how much of that is down to GALA as opoosed to 'Bird on the Wire' (the other group organising it) is hard to say.  For local people, it's three days of not being able to open windows, As someone said above, if a resident set up a PA in their back garden and subjected the neighbours to 10 hours of hard dance music every day for three days, the Council would take action. Do not underestimate how distressing that is for many local residents, many of whom are elderly, frail, young, vulnerable. They deserve more respect than is being shown by those who think it's no big deal. And just to be clear, GALA and the council do not consider there to be a breach of db level if the level is corrected within 15 minutes of the breach. In other words, while db levels are set as part of the noise management plan, there is an acknowledgement that a breach is ok if corrected within 15 minutes. That is just not good enough. Local councillors objected to the proposed extension. 75% of those that responded to the consultation locally did not want GALA 26 to take place at all. For me personally, any goodwill that had been built up through the various consultations over recent years was erased with that application for a second weekend, and especially given that when asked if there were plans for that in post 2025 event feedback meetings (following rumours), GALA lied and said there were no plans to expand. I have come to the conclusion that all the effort to appease on some things is merely an exercise in show, to get past the council's threshold for the events licence. They couldn't give a hoot in reality for local people, and people that genuinely care about parkland, don't litter it with noisy festivals either.
