We don't have a house number outside our house at the moment and my husband likes the way some house have it painted/stencilled on in black on the wall near the door of the house. Is there someone local who can do this, or is it something you would do yourself with a stencil?


Thanks so much!

I'd be inclined to use a professional sign writer- mainly because my attempt to stencil (basic) numerals on our bins was a disaster! Quick google search throws up:

There must be lots more around- perhaps you could knock on a house with a painted number and ask who they used.

Hello,


This isn't what you asked for but it could be a much cheaper option....


I bought my house number from ebay a few years ago. It was seriously cheap (about ?10) and although it's about 5 years old now there isn't a mark on it (i.e. not weathered at all) and I still think it looks super-stylish. Also, it stands out so delivery people etc can easily find the house number. I don't have the name of the ebay seller but it is similar to these

When I first bought it I thought "this is too cheap it must be rubbish"; but 5 years on and I'm still happy with it.


If you want to see mine then PM me and I'll send you my address so you can't check it out.

    • Yes but what's the answer, Jazzer? No government can simply walk in and fix the economy - get the bills down, grow it and reduce debt. There is no silver bullet. The public (and the press) wants everything now, everything cheaper, but with better public services and lower taxes.  In the radio and paper, all you ever hear is pundits, MPs, think tanks and economists saying what won't work, but no one seems to know what will work.  I'm genuinely interested to hear what other views people have on here, and what they think will help, or make things worse. 
    • While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude. 
    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.   
    • I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.
