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!

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.

    • Until the licencing laws changed in the late eighties, pubs were only allowed to open Sunday hours on Christmas Day, so 12 'til 2, and the majority didn't open in the evening unless it was for a 'private party'. But that's another story. The landlord of my old local used to let everyone double or treble up at last orders so that you could avoid having to watch the Queen's Speech with your Nans at three o'clock. Dulwich Tandoori is open Christmas Day for those who don't fancy Gail's.  'Festive Flavours', apparently.
    • My nominations are the Goblin Band at the Goose, and the Errol Linton Trio  at the Dulwich Folk Club.  I'm not sure what other venues we have in the immediate area.  I rarely do the big (1000 plus) places any more.  Your nominations? And a special mention to Truthpaste, at least one member is local and their video was recorded around here.  But I caught them in North London.  And please see the link to the BBCs recording of the Copper Family at the Castle a few weeks ago~: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002ng53
