There is a known problem - reported initially as effecting (at least) Underhill Road (the part parallel to Wood Vale) - Thames is suggesting that it will take minimum 2 hours to restore service - they said that they had engineers on the site of the leak.

I have now been told there is a leak in Forest Hill (but that might be Forest Hill Road - who knows?) - mains water turned off just after 3.00 - so my trickle on Underhill is now an empty space.


There appear to be leaks all over - I passed one being 'dealt with' (men standing round a gusher) on the corner of College Road and the A205.


The Thames Water 'live' map shows none of this - their recorded messages say there are no known problems in SE22 - I have asked them to correct this as it is just wasting their operatives time as each person who finds problems reports them - with no other evidence that any fault is known about.


They can't, or won't, now give any estimate of repair times - but suggest (so far) that it won't be 'days'.


I think that the repair guys are getting on with things - but their front office support (nice people that they are) is hopeless - they seem to have no access to information - but have to go away and ask someone each time.

I spoke to the call centre staff who said the Overhill Road leak will take 3-4 hours to fix. They are way over their statutory times for water provision so have allegedly blocked off the burst main ( though it sounds like there are several) and are flushing water in from a reservoir. It can take an hour for that to reach homes. They asked us to call back if no water by 8.15. Feeling very grumpy now ( and hungry, children in bed, hubbie not home, not enough water to make pasta)

I got a text from Thames water letting me know. Saw the water gushing down the street and now they're drilling to try to solve the problem.


There are ovens or take- aways so I'm sure kids will live without their pasta..it really isn't the end of the world

      Piotr and his team just completed our ensuite and we couldn’t be happier. They were a lovely team to have around and took great care with protection and clean-up every day. Communication was great and there were no nasty surprises with the final invoice despite a few challenges with the room along the way. The standard of work is incredible. We still can’t believe this room is in our house!

      What has that got to do with their being potentially terrified when loud fireworks are set off? To the best of my knowledge nobody is suggesting the firework noise is actually killing the animals.

      I run a small tutoring service for children who need extra support in their entrance exams as well as overall academic support for areas that need a little shoring up.   I'm a mother whose son benefitted from coaching to get 3 offers from leading schools.  I personally offer Creative Writing as a specialty and in each exam my son scored top marks for his creative.  If you would like to discuss options, do reach out.  We offer online classes in Maths, English, Creative, Science and Spanish to GCSE.  Many thanks, Kate
