And photos of the ensuite to our new loft bedroom done by Sky High Builders

We have just had an absolutely superb experience with Sky High Builders, who have built our stunning new loft bedroom and ensuite. Marvin project managed the build for us and nothing was too much trouble for him. He managed everything brilliantly from start to finish. His level of customer service is second to none and he genuinely cares about doing an impeccable job. If Marvin wasn't among the team working on site that day, he made sure he was there every morning to inform about the progress of the build. Marvin's motto is "the client's always right" and he will do all he can to ensure his clients are happy with the job. He had some brilliant ideas for the design of our loft, and as a result we have a stunning and unique new space. In terms of the quality of the build, the team at Sky High have very high standards, which was just what we were after as I confess to being a bit of a perfectionist. All the team take great pride in doing a good job and they are all a delight to have around on site. Every step of the way my husband and I felt so thankful we'd taken on Sky High for the job. They really care about what they do and they really want to go above and beyond expectations. We have the most beautiful bedroom and ensuite and it's all thanks to Sky High's high standards of workmanship and Marvin's great design ideas. We really can't praise Marvin and his team high enough. This is the third building job we've done on our house and Sky High are leagues ahead of the other companies we used. They are incredibly professional. We are happy to give a reference over the phone - please PM me for details. Marvin is on 07966 189754 www.sky-high-builders.co.uk

This happened to our elderly neighbour yesterday on Herne Hill Rd. We have scaffolding up and some dodgy 'builders' knocked on her door and said they were had noticed problems with our job that might result in damage to her property if she didn't cough up. They wanted ?900 and said they'd come back to fix it once they had the correct machine. She only had ?300 so paid them that. We of course feel terribly guilty now and will repay some of the lost money. She's so frail and elderly. There really are some nasty folk out there!

I would like to add my reccomendation for HomeCert. One of the company's electricians, Paul, came to do some work for me yesterday and I was very pleased with the service. Paul fitted two ceiling chandeliers, replaced a faulty dimmer and refitted a loose plug socket. He was punctual and efficient, and tidied up all mess as he went (which was very helpful considering I had two small children in the house). I also asked Paul for advice on new lighting for our garden. He had lots of good suggestions and clearly a great deal of experience in this field. The company regularly install new garden lighting systems for clients, so he was able to suggest what types of lights might work for our situation. We will definitely use HomeCert again and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Thanks for all the advice. If anyone knows of anyone who has installed a moth-treated wool carpet I would love to hear from them.

Hi, I am one of many Londoners who has moths in my Victorian terraced house. The carpets were ripped out when we bought the house so we've been living with bare wooden floors for the last few years. Wood floors are fine but not the cosiest type of of floor. The moths are still there no matter how much I spray the floors with nasty moth spray - they've attacked our nice wool mattress since we have no carpet to munch on. We're now keen to get carpets upstairs and I'd rather get wool carpets if at all possible, I haven't been grabbed by the synthetic ones I've seen. It seems many wool carpets nowadays are moth-proofed. Has anyone installed a moth-proofed carpet? Good or bad feedback very welcome! Thanks
