Hi,

I have a top floor flat in East Dulwich and have had a survey done which indicates that the chimney breast which was removed in one of the bedrooms a long time ago may not be adequately supported. I have contacted a chartered surveyor and now have their report to confirm this is the case, so am looking for a recommendation of a local builder who can rectify this.

If anyone has had similar work done and can recommend their builder, I would be grateful. Also, I am not entirely clear if I need to get the surveyors proposal on how it should be supported signed off by building control as I am trying to provide adequate support rather than take a chimney out, however I am guessing this is probably the case.

Any advice welcome!

Thanks.

  I completely agree with you . Its as if they have their foot in the door and are just pushing and pushing. It's ridiculous. It's not the right space. they clearly do not give any regard to the environment or they would move it.

  There's a great badminton club at the Harris girls academy. It runs Friday from 5.30 to 6.45. for more experienced players, they have sessions on Wednesday and Friday, too but that's subject to skill levels

  There seem to be all sorts of blocks for this event being mounted on the Common, one is that it was 'designed especially' for the current site, though the organisers seem to have had absolutely no problem rejigging their plans to the original site footprint to expand the event to what we had last year- which I think really imposed on a large part of the park and spoilt the feel. I would suggest pressing very hard for relocation to the Common ( also closer to transport links). There must be a way, surely? If not, then wholesale relocation to a more suitable venue. I just do not think the park should be subjected to a festival-goer footfall of 60,000 plus over the summer.

  I absolutely will. Fed up of property developments that are funded from offshore investors and price out local people. Fed up of the demise of social rents and the growing crisis of families in bed and breakfast. Fed up of young people being unable to save deposits, start families and generally have the same security of tenure that previous generations had. So yes, I will drill down into the financing, affordability, where the properties aer being advertised for sale, and how many are genuinely for social rent. Otherwise, no opposition to redeveloping that site in that way.
