BRILLIANT kitchen fitter! Look no further than Top Marx

About eight months into a gruelling kitchen renovation project (I can also tell you which builder NOT to use…), I had rescheduled the kitchen delivery from IKEA and the fronts from Plykea multiple times, and was at the end of my tether. Losing faith in my amateur design ever fitting a space whose likely ultimate  dimensions seemed to change daily; so tired of having people I didn’t like, trust or respect in my house every day. There was zero good faith input into the project (which I as a sole adult resident was juggling with working full time), and as a result my enthusiasm for the project was draining away like the washing up water down the plughole in the (second floor!) bath. Trying to manage for an ever-shifting likely installation date, I read the reviews of IKEA’s ‘own’ (ie subcontracted) service and took the decision not to subject the last threads of my sanity to that. I came on here and within moments my mind was made up to approach Top Marx kitchens. With my budget wearing as thin as my will to cook another family meal on one travel hob/in the microwave, though, I feared I wouldn’t be able to afford such an obviously premium service, and was resigned to filing the quote in the ’if only’ folder. Lo and behold, the prompt and courteous email response containing MY ONLY UNDER-BUDGET QUOTE OF THE WHOLE JOB was the first delight of my experience with John and Gabi. The minute John came round I felt for the first time like there was someone on my team. His work is of an exceptional quality, he’s tidy, reliable, quick, honest, and takes not only an honourable approach to but also a real pride in his work. Both of them are responsive and collaborative, and I cannot overstate the positive impact they had on our house and our lives. John responded creatively and thriftily to the (many!!) challenges that emerged throughout the installation, and we are all thrilled with the result. If I were ever going to do a kitchen again, I would enlist John from the very beginning, as he combines his practical and pragmatic approach and great technical skills with both an engineer’s problem-solving ability and a keen eye for aesthetics and design. 11/10 ️

    • What is the trigger for a thread to disappear? I ask because the Dulwich Junction thread has gone. 
    • Pick up in Hackney, drop off in ED.   any recommendations?
    • I agree, there are too many intangibles at play to be able to say what has, or hasn't created, the increase in crime in the whole ward. I do think there is a debate to be had whether quieter streets with fewer cars mean that certain types of crime are easier to commit and allow targeting of victims. The current modus operandi of crash for cash only really works on quieter streets and it is no coincidence that areas around the DV LTN are being targeted by criminals.  On phone snatches and knifepoint robberies the argument could be made that because there are more people walking around the quieter streets then that part explains the rise in crimes of that nature (which aren't happening on Dulwich Square but on the surrounding streets. Overall, in the Dulwich Village ward, crime is on the way up, is the highest it has been in the three years of monitoring available on the police website, and it is being driven by certain types of crime - I don't really care what the cause is but what the solution is because it is Dulwich residents (all of our neighbours) who are often on the receiving end of what can be terrifying encounters that can have lasting impact.
    • I think it covers the postcode and a 0.25 mile radius surrounding it (it's a little unclear). The LTN has been in for four years and there is no evidence of a rise in crime (possibly the data is more suggestive of a fall). As far as detailed research into the impact of LTNs on crime more generally (not Dulwich specific), that concludes they tend to reduce crime. In conclusion, we can't say anything definitively, but the available evidence does not support the claim of "increasing crime from Southwark’s LTN". If anything it suggests the opposite.
