WANTED: Lay a driveway

Recommended Posts

I asked for recommendations on the EDF about four weeks ago and researched a few recommendations.Frankito my neighbour said his friend Liam had done his driveway in paving slabs, which looked good, but not what I was looking for, as I wanted block paving.However I contacted Liam,who called and said it was not the type of work he did, "but he knew a man who did". Liam contacted his friend Seamus who duly called a few days later, we discussed the requirements and at the end of the week I received his quotes for doing the job in two different ways.I opted for the slightly more expensive option and Seamus, his father Tom and Tony started the following Monday.Absolutely no money was requested until the job was completed, they worked quickly and cleanly and even removed quite a lot of brick rubble I had from a wall I had demolished,this was done at no extra charge whatsoever,needless to say I gave them a drink on top for this but Seamus said this was not necessary. I now have a beautiful brindle coloured block paved driveway with charcoal coloured border, it looks superb. If any of you need a great block paved driveway contact Seamus Kane on 07539 196074.A great job well done.My thanks also to Frankito for giving me the contact details to enable me to get such a good result.I should add that Liam phoned the Sunday after completion to check if I was happy with the result, which of course I was and still am.

    • They've left all kinds of things in my garden including gardening gloves and shoes, not to mention scavenged food and packaging. Once they left an unopened vacuum pack of smoked trout, the next day some pita bread. All a bit biblical.
    • From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.  
    • I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification?
    • Hello, I lost a babies blanket between Tessa Jowell and the Picture House on Lordship Lane 😞It is teal colour with the name Cillian embroidered on it.  If anyone sees/finds it please let me know.  Thank you!
