The floorboards in our living room and hallway are not in great shape - lots of gaps between boards, a couple of broken ones, various holes - and same with skirting board.

They are also a golden colour which I have never really liked. Want a more ashy colour.

(pix attached of existing floor with sample of colour wanted laid on top)

Our flooring definitely needs either

a) fixing up / filling / skirting boards fixed and colour changing via sanding / staining or

b) lay new wooden flooring over existing flooring - may be smarter and in long run best and most satisfactory option

I'm looking for advice / and a professional who can quote for the work and carry out.

We also need doors putting in between an open space in living room and kitchen - but flooring needs to be sorted before doors can be done I'm assuming.

All helpful advice and any useful contact numbers / recommendations appreciated.

Many thanks

- 2025 Christmas Tree recycling

  I know I'm a bit premature but don't want to forget through too much Chrisntas cheer! Southwark Council Christmas trees recycling arrangements 2025 - bit worrying for the future that they're emphasising the free bit. "We’ll collect and recycle your real Christmas tree for free! Trees should not be taller than 5ft. You should chop any taller trees into smaller pieces. Remove all decorations and the pot or stand and recycle it by: putting your tree with your garden waste containers on collection day requesting a free collection if you do not have a garden waste collection taking it to our Reuse and Recycling Centre [43 Devon Street, SE15 1AL open 08:30-16:30 Mon-Sun] If you live in a flat you must leave the tree: outside on the kerb visible for the collection crew not in a bin store" I'll add the link to the collection booking service when it opens on 22 December.
- Christmas/New Year rubbish/recycling collection changes

  Most homes in East Dulwich / Good Green ward have collections on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. So no changes for them this year. But for those few local homes with collections normally on Thursdays or Friday, with Christmas, Boxing day happening on Thursday and Friday any blue, brown or green bin collections will be delayed by two days. So Thursday 25 December collections will be on Saturday 27 December and Friday 26 December collections on Sunday 28 December. For New Years day those Thursday collections will be on the Friday 2 January and those with normal collections of Fridays that will be on Saturday 3 January. To double check when your Southwark Council rubbish, recycling, food waste, garden waste collections will be taking place please please check here - https://services.southwark.gov.uk/bins/lookup
- Dawson heights parking charge notice

  Luckily I don't really any regular reason to park at Dawson Heights. It must be very difficult for the residents I do feel for them. Thank you for them. I just presumed that Southwark owned the estate and would be responsible for parking enforcement there.
