Recommended Balfes Bikes

Recommended Posts

I just have to post a recommendation for the wonderful team at Balfes Bikes. My beloved bike that I had since 2005 and rode everywhere, was nicked a couple of weeks ago, and I first called the original place I bought my bike to see if i could buy another one. The guy who answered basically, laughed when I explained what had happened and said it was a joke thinking I could get a bike this year as everywhere was sold out. I then phoned Balfes who i've been to for servicing my old bike over the years, and got the best service I could have wished for. They were understanding,very patient with me (after trying a few bikes!)and I spoke to 3 different guys on my visits there, all were brilliant , and ordered in what I chose which came within the week. So a shout out to a great local asset!

I have taken my vintage 40-year old Di Blasi folding bike to Balfe's Bikes Dulwich on 2 occasions (punctured tyre and gear problems) and another bike that needed the the gear change wire replaced. On all occasions, the Balfe's guys were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable - and managed to fix the problems. Definitely recommend them!

    • Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent. 
    • Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.
    • Dawson Heights again  2 lifts out of order at ladlands block Christmas Eve so of course the 🛗 will not be repaired tomorrow Christmas Day or Boxing Day or when how do elderly or mothers with children and prams and food and presents get to the floors and with the 10 minutes you get to drop off  to park and not get a Pcn fine and delivery food to relatives who can’t leave their house unbelievable Southern housing does any know email address of Coe of southern housing 
    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
