Tom1964 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Hi all,New-ish to the area and very new to the Forum. We moved into, ahem, West Norwood recently, but were quickly alerted to the Forum as a great way of tracking down recommendations for people to do renovation/cosmetic work locally. Given we were about to spend 12 months gutting, refurbishing and decking out a house, it's been an invaluable resource. So thank you everyone.We're now in and have pretty much finished everything, so armed with that experience I thought it was probably time to be a bit less passive and actually join in! We've generally had a very good run with everyone we've worked with, with a couple of exceptions - but I don't want to incur the wrath of other posters by being negative in my first post!So to kick off, I wanted to add yet another recommendation for Elly Allen, who has been the most recent person we've worked with. She has worked tirelessly to make and fit curtains and blinds for our entire house and we're delighted with the results. It was a big job for a reasonable price, and whilst I suspect there were cheaper options, the communication and customer service throughout has been excellent, not to mention the quality of work. There were a few delays along the way, which happens, but rather than these becoming a major issue, Elly kept in touch constantly with updates: it makes a huge difference. We liked her practical, and cost-saving, advice on fabric choices - and Steve the fitter, who was great and utterly reliable.So a big tick for Elly and I'll try and add a few other recommendations soon if people would find that helpful.
