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.

    • Yes. I saw it early Saturday morning. TW arrived and put cones out but not done anything about fixing it. So it’s been pouring out water for about 40 hours now. My most recent water bill was £90 more than the previous one although I had used less water….  
    • There's a burst pipe at underhill road near barry road and road is closed , the water was pouring down barry road so I walked along and moved leafs and debris away from drains and water stopped coming down barry road towards peckham rye. You would think that thames water would have someone there fixing issue but nope nobody there doing a thing but they want to tell us no hosepipe etc and charge us £75 a month.  20251012_062535.mp4
    • I don’t think as votes we get to snap out fingers and magic someone else into the position of prime minster.    We’ve  already had about 6 in as many years.  Make it  stop 
    • There is Trinco as well on Lordship Lane.  Tasty and reasonable Sri Lankan food. Amrutha in Honor Oak is vegan and v good. Both worth a visit.
