Fireplace Restoration


von

Recommended Posts

Just wanted to say that if you need any work doing to your fireplace, try Blue Mantle based in Old Kent Road. (0207 703 7437 or http://www.bluemantle.co.uk/


I needed to have a new hearth laid for my working fireplace, and a tidy up of the tiles. They were the third company I tried and I wish I had gone to them first and saved myself time and trouble. I had assumed that as they are an established restoration company who also sell beautiful new and refurbished fireplaces they would probably not be interested in such a small job, but they were polite, punctual and professional from the start and charged me a fair price for the work. I am delighted with the result!


There are recommendations elsewhere on this forum for a company based in Crystal Palace, who I feel are only interested in the big jobs, as having been given a quote by them I then wasted many weeks leaving messages, and waiting for call backs which never happened. I wish companies would just be honest and say they don't want the job instead of stringing us along.

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
