I can recommend Dave and Patrick from Norwood Roofing. They turn up when they say they will, tell you what needs done and get on with the job with no fuss. I have used them twice and am very happy with the work they carried out on my roof. The work is guaranteed and their prices are reasonable so would happily use them again.

Hi Daniel I think a lot of the replies here are not being very helpful. We live under the flightpath too, it's where the planes turn around over Peckham Rye to make their way towards Heathrow. It does make a lot of noise especially as they start at 4.30 in the morning. Don't despair though, the planes only fly over here if the wind is from the West (and I know that is a lot of the time). If the wind is from other directions. for instance if the weather is very cold or very hot, the planes do not come over here. You do get used to it but I'm afraid shutters etc. won't make a lot of difference.

Any reccommendations for a handyman? I have a few jobs that need doing in and around the house and I HATE DIY!

Thanks but I prefer my dog alive!

Are there any dog friendly people out there who look after dogs when the owner (me) is away. I dont want to use kennels and I dont want to pay a fortune to a professional unless I have to.

Try Rentokil mousetraps, you can buy them in Farmers and put chocolate in the bait tray, this seems to work well in my house. I had an infestation and and any poison didnt seem to work = they ate tons of it!. I was catching three or four in the traps everyday and now there is only a mouse once in a while
