First Choice Decorating

Hi,


I would like to add another recommendation on the forum for Gary Skinner at First Choice Decorating. Gary and his team recently redecorated our whole house, including some light building work,wallpapering,replacing of skirting boards & a vast amount of plastering.

Given the house was in quite a dilapidated state after years of abuse we did run into various problems, but Gary stuck to his price throughout & was very good at coming up with solutions and keeping me up to date. Gary was actually more fussy about the finish than i was(!) and often redid areas multiple times until happy.May I add he did a brilliant job of redecorating externally and rebuilding one of the porch pillars that had eroded with damp. Generally a pleasure to have a round and a good multi-tasker i would recommend to anyone requiring decorating work, small or large.


Cheers

Alec

    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.
