Yes your pictuure looks great, BUT,


Got to say he DNA'd on the first visit to do a quote and it was only after chasing up that he came came on a Saturday morning to come and look at the job (shed base and shed), apologised, explained how it is a family business. Promised to provide a quote, waited, waited and waited some more as he was soooooooooooooo busy, chased him for his quote and am still waiting. You may have been lucky but it is systematic of trades people who promise the earth and fail to deliver anything. How hard can it be putting pen to paper or typing out and emailing a quote.

FWIW, my experience was... hard to get hold of, had to chase several times to get a quote, took aaaages to agree a date to start the work, which was subsequently put back at least once.


But when they eventually did the job, they did it very well and are obviously hard workers. I'm glad we stuck with them.

Another strong recommendation for Oskars and his hard-working team Jurijs and Casper who removed tricky old fencing and replaced it. Oskar oversaw the job and was available for advice but his team are very knowledgeable. Oskars took a while to forward quotation but the wait and final finish of the work was worth it.

Oskars Fencing & Landscaping

Hi All,


I wanted to share a recommendation for Oskars Fencing and Landscaping if you are looking for any garden works after finding Oskars details, and positive reviews, via the forum myself a few months back. Oskar and his friendly team have just completed a new fence, removed a 4mx4m concrete base, completed extensive levelling works, built a raised bed, patio and laid lawn on our c.40ft garden. Oskar was very patient with a changing brief and worked with us to help achieve a family friendly garden that we are delighted with. Oskar and his team were great to deal with- friendly and open, and the work has been completed to a high standard.


Oskar can be reached on 07545 372 421


Any questions and feel free to PM. Thanks

Oskar and team did a fantastic job replacing the fence on both sides of our garden. They came when they said they would, got on with the job efficiently, negotiated with the neighbours and left everything neat and tidy. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company.

Adding a massive thumbs-up for Oskar and his team. They did a brilliant job, digging out a massive thicket of long-established ivy by the roots (some with trunks as thick as trees), removing old concrete posts, other random bits and bogs and the derelict old fence. I'd moved a few plants I cared about but couldn't do anything about my favourite rose bush, but they very carefully avoided it and tied it to the new fence at the end of the day. The new fence looks fantastic and they did the whole job in a day, when other contractors had said they needed two or three. Everything had to come through the house, but they meticulously swept up afterwards, and Oskar took all the waste away in his truck. Oskar was great to deal with throughout – highly recommend!


Get hold of Oskar on 07545 372 421 or at [email protected] - there is also a webiste oskarsfencingandlandscaping.com but just give him a call!

Another big nod/recommendation for Oskars Landscaping. He and his team did an immaculate job on our back garden. They worked fast, communicated well, asked questions at the right time, kept the house clean despite moving through it with material and waste, did what we asked, and were happy to make adjustments when it was necessary. I couldn't speak more highly of him and his team to be honest. I wish all home improvements went like this. See previous comments for how to get in touch with him.

Adding to the recommendations on here for Oskars. Sorted our fence that had fallen, and needed replacing, within days, was communicative throughout the quote, booking and work activity, always meeting his promises, was reasonably priced and his team did a super job and left the place spotless despite the rubbish weather. Would definitely use again (though I hope to not have to due to a new sturdy fence!)

I recommend Oskar and his team, who came to replace my fences and did a very good job. One if the fences was particularly challenging, as it marks a boundry where the ground level on one side is much higher than the other side. Oskar solved the problem by building blocks to keep the soil at bay and installing the fence posts in the blocks. I now have fences which look attractive as well as being well made. The crew were very reliable and worked hard to complete the job on schedule. I would definately use them again

    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.  
    • Nothing to do with the topic of this thread, but I have to say, I think it is quite untrue that people don't make human contact in cities. Just locally, there are street parties, road WhatsApp groups, one street I know near here hires a coach and everyone in the street goes to the seaside every year! There are lots of neighbourhood groups on Facebook, where people look out for each other and help each other. In my experience people chat to strangers on public transport, in shops, waiting in queues etc. To the best of my knowledge the forum does not need donations to keep it going. It contains paid ads, which hopefully helps Joe,  the very excellent admin,  to keep it up and running. And as for a house being broken into, that could happen anywhere. I knew a village in Devon where a whole row of houses was burgled one night in the eighties. Sorry to continue the off topic conversation when the poor OP was just trying to find out who was open for lunch on Christmas Day!
