Recommending a plasterer (and plumber)

Recommended Posts

Just wanted to recommend Micky Lawless, a local plaster who's done a few jobs for us now (skimming ceilings, walls etc). He's a lovely guy, very professional and has always done a great job (not to mention the fact that he's cleaned up so well that place is actually tidier than when he started). He can be reached at [email protected] and 07930 678989.


While we're at it Pete Bennison is a great local plumber and gas installer - I had to call him out a short notice today to install a new cooker but in the past he's done many jobs for us including fitting radiators and a new boiler, indeed I think I originally saw him recommended on here when we first moved to the area in 2008. He can be reached at 07788 412880.

I'd also like to recommend Micky Lawless. He's done a couple of jobs for us, both at our last address and our current address, and has we have been very impressed with his work both times. He is extremely professional, and very personable, and has always been available to come out at very short notice.

I'd like to second Pickle and GoldenApe's recommendations of Pete Bennison. He's serviced our boiler a few times and is very professional and trustworthy. He also came out at very short notice to sort out a plumbing emergency for which I'm extremely grateful.

    • Watching my cats over the years with foxes, I've found that foxes have totally ignored them. One exception was when a young fox hadn't seen my cat and found himself eye to eye with my cat at a distance of 1 metre. There was a stand off but the fox blinked first and my cat chased him out of the garden. So proud of her. I believe when foxes have attacked cats, the cat has been vulnerable  - old, young, ill wounded.
    • It's also possible that someone is hand feeding foxes and encouraging them by this to approach others. I have heard of foxes attacking young children (if only anecdotally) but not adults. They do seem to attack cats. 
    • I've noticed the foxes are very frisky at the moment, it's mating season. Perhaps it was a male fox who saw you as a danger to his vixen and wanted to see you off.
    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
