Looking for garden fence fitter

I just wanted to add a recommendation for Oskars.


Oskars and his team did a fantastic job replacing a fence and fitting artificial grass in our garden. Everything had to come through the house and they did a great job reducing the mess as much as possible.


I would definitely recommend him if you need any work doing in your garden!

Heh@Yek


Kala - he pretended to be a poster called Anja and conned me into using him. The embarrassing thing is the elaborate backstory that I actually fell for. He must have been laughing his arse off at me. I've since seen from other posts on the forum that most of the other recommendations look suspicious.


I initially thought he was great, but things quickly degenerated. He did an appalling job of several of the work items I employed him for, which has cost me a fair bit to rectify. He also repeatedly stood me up with no warning and left an almightly mess behind including food, water bottles and tea cups strewn across my yard. I've been contacted by previous customers too who have had similar experiences.

I've noticed that Luke has managed to get a lot of the negative reviews removed from various sites which I had previously found after I got ripped off. Just in case he manages to remove the sole remaining one left, it looks like someone else had a very similar experience to me:


https://plus.google.com/101797341727130564926/about - all was going so well and after reading such great reviews I hired Luke to makeover my garden for a rental property. Job started off great, then I moved abroad and paid Luke an agreed amount to finish the job. It would take no more than a week to complete. This was 7 weeks ago and Luke has not returned, and left me with a half finished garden. Extremely disappointed. gave him time as he said personal issues were preventing finishing, and weather. After too many weeks of excuses I realised I had been scammed. His last emails to me confirm he has no intention of finishing the job and suggests I finish it myself. What about the money? He won't return it and says because I threatened to contact the police over work paid for and not completed, that he doesn't have to finish it as he was threatened. Yes, with me contacting the police as I am in another country and he has taken my money and ran. I Really liked this guy, trusted him and just because I am far away he chose to rip me off for a significant sum of money. I needed to share this as all these good reviews do not explain why he chose to take my money and not do the work. Very sad indeed.

    • I know I'm a bit premature but don't want to forget through too much Chrisntas cheer! Southwark Council Christmas trees recycling arrangements 2025 - bit worrying for the future that they're emphasising the free bit. "We’ll collect and recycle your real Christmas tree for free!  Trees should not be taller than 5ft. You should chop any taller trees into smaller pieces. Remove all decorations and the pot or stand and recycle it by: putting your tree with your garden waste containers on collection day requesting a free collection if you do not have a garden waste collection  taking it to our Reuse and Recycling Centre [43 Devon Street, SE15 1AL open 08:30-16:30 Mon-Sun] If you live in a flat you must leave the tree: outside on the kerb visible for the collection crew not in a bin store" I'll add the link to the collection booking service when it opens on 22 December. 
    • Most homes in East Dulwich / Good Green ward have collections on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. So no changes for them this year.  But for those few local homes with collections normally on Thursdays or Friday, with Christmas, Boxing day happening on Thursday and Friday any blue, brown or green bin collections will be delayed by two days. So Thursday 25 December collections will be on Saturday 27 December and Friday 26 December collections on Sunday 28 December. For New Years day those Thursday collections will be on the Friday 2 January and those with normal collections of Fridays that will be on Saturday 3 January. To double check when your Southwark Council rubbish, recycling, food waste, garden waste collections will be taking place please please check here - https://services.southwark.gov.uk/bins/lookup
    • Luckily I don't really any regular reason to park at Dawson Heights.  It must be very difficult for the residents I do feel for them.  Thank you for them.  I just presumed that Southwark owned the estate and would be responsible for parking enforcement there.
