I sadly read about burglaries on this forum and really and i am in the mind set of expecting it, rather than not. Does anyone know of any current neighbourhood watch schemes...and if so where are they. Failing that surely with the forumites we can form a very strong ED watch. Maybe a new section on the forum landing page wholly dedicated to "Neighbourhood Watch". What are everyone's thoughts? Can this work? will it help tackle and reduce this? Can we name and shame people and ensure the police leverage this forum to get clearer messages out to our community?

There a quite a few active Neighbourhood Watch schemes in ED already. I made contact with our local organiser via the Safer Neighbourhood team for the College Ward (where I live). Work out which ward you are in and email the relevant address. Also, you can normally get a discount on your home insurance if you are an active member:

Following the recent burglaries in The Gardens and surrounding area, the Peckham Rye Safer Neighbourhood Team have organised a meeting on Monday 21st July at 7pm to form a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme in The Gardens. Don't know if that's near where you live but may be of interest to some on the forum - its to be held at Harris Girls School.

    • 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!
