I don't know Manda, so if I was asked, for no good reason at all to say, posit an appropriate song on the matter all that occurs is Toyah Wilcox's 'It's A Mystery'.


For such it is.

Been asked by someone who knows me to explain my first post which they thought was starnge. Michael Caine starred in a film in the mid 80's called Mona Lisa ( yes the explanation is that simple) with Bob Hoskins, it was a gangster type film. Of possible interest might be the fact that some scenes were filmed at the community centre next to Dulwich medical centre, fronting Daryl Road and backing onto CPR. Of great co-incidence, at that time Brenda Blethyn lived nearby in CPR, and went on to star in a film with Michael Caine called "Little Voices" (I think that was it's title), also starring Jane Horrocks. To para-phrase, I wonder how many people know that!!!!
I knew that cos I went there and so did my father who was mates with him, hence the interest in this post. I remember my old art teacher, who was only about 200 yrs old at the time and whose name escapes me for the moment, constantly telling me stories about what they got up to, all denied by my father !!!! I wonder if EDOldie went there too?

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
