Electrical make do and mend in East Dulwich?


knittable

Recommended Posts

Hi fellow locals

Is there an electrical goods mending clinic in ED?  I have a hammer drill battery that won't charge, have tried doing a quick battery to battery charge to get it going for a longer proper charge - to no avail - but youtube tells me it may be a popped safety cap on one of the batteries inside.  Easy to fix, but not for someone unversed in things electrical.  I hate to junk a good drill for the sake of a tiny fix.  I think I've seen an electrical mending event mentioned on the forum before?  Any info please?

Thanks.

There is a Repair Cafe based at  The Green, Nunhead, SE15 3QQ on the last Saturday of each month from 10am- 1pm. 

Volunteer fixers share their specialist skills and tools to help you restore items brought from home. 

A voluntary donation welcome. 

 

 

 

 

I think its great that there is a repair place- but you need to be careful with batteries/chargers as there are fire risks with lithium batteries.

The larger ones used in scooters have caused a LFB campaign.

    • Holding noisy disruptive events in the middle of the public examinations period - GCSE's and A Levels - is not helpful for local children who will likely be stressed already. 
    • It's a great suggestion to contact other companies and perhaps get a better quote.   Fancy implying that ONLY those with direct, specific and qualified opinions can post. That would change the entire EDF - with very little responses to any post. You can search online for reviews of secondary glazing and see what customers have said (Trustpilot)
    • That's a great solution, but not really practical for a second floor windowsill! I tried many things, spiky wires sticking out to deter them from landing, the widest cage available (pictured), but they would still descend, scaring off all the small songbirds, cram their heads through the cage and devour all the food. I was metaphorically tearing my hair out so, combined with the worries about spreading disease, I had to call it a day. Very sad.
    • Plus it is pure hypocrisy from the council, who pontificate about cleaner, greener, spaces, but then throw that out of the window for a bit of cash from a disruptive event.  I will raise this with them. I will point out to them that whether their event takes place or not is of as little consequence too 😉 Because they are public servants paid for by our taxes. It's the whole reason FOI exists. We have a right to know certain things.
