What a lovely time I've had revisiting the old EDF. It says I first posted in March 2007 but I'm sure I was active in 2006. I am also going to resurrect the "What is East Dulwich reading" on the strength of my nostalgic trip as I'm hungry for some reading recommendations.

I moved to East Dulwich in summer 2008, discovered the forum between signing the rental contract on my flat and moving in.


I ended up going on a pub crawl with some of the old forumites the day after I moved in. Think Brendan may have organised it - he definitely gave me his phone number so I could track people down when I joined part way through the day at the EDT.


My life here would have been very different without the forum - not sure I'd have stayed as long without it, been a great way of making friends and finding out about things going on in the local area.

I was thinking about some of those nights the other day. Some really good times, I'd be up for one if enough people signed up.

Plenty of friendships too, but I guess that's less exciting.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
