Dear Mr Jockey,


Mr Banfield is a really nice guy, and he sells really good quality....everything really, and delivers when he says he will. He will always put himself out for you. I have used most of the wood yards around Dulwich and Norwood during house renovations, garden landscaping, having decking, fencing etc built over the years. I suppose my experience may be a little different - being a woman. But Mr Banfield knows exactly what he is talking about, is never patronising, as he is not some teenager on school holidays. He will always return your call, and remember you. I would use him in preference to anyone.

Bought lots from Mr Banfield. He even came round to do a quote to put up new garden fences and when the quote came out to be more than I wanted to spend, he stood in my garden and told me how I could do it myself (as we had never done anything like that before) - really nice guy! Reliable with deliveries too.

A bit expensive, so if its a large job, Merton timber or whitten timber will save you a lot of dosh, but Mr banfield is good for smaller stuff. Also a bit hit or miss if you are looking to take away. He sometimes has to order in.

Use him b4 he sells the plot for luxury flats (he must be sitting on a small forture there..)!

    • But they were going to cut down a tree that had no notice on it ? Either way thank goodness people intervened. My total lack of confidence in Southwark tree dept is justified it would seem… 
    • Hopefully the confusion won’t lead to injury. 
    • To clarify a few points- I didn't just happen to be passing, I saw the workmen setting up equipment worryingly close to the tree from my front window, so put my shoes on and headed over there as quickly as possible just in case. Unfortunately they had already lopped a few branches off in the two minutes it took me to get there. Although I didn't see them attach a notice, the wording on the notice pictured above has the same terminology that they used with me - fungal brackets - so presumably it was them. I have no idea who removed the sign, or why. Also worth mentioning that they were third party contractors, carrying out work orders from the council. I'm a bit confused by the 'mistaken tree' comments, as Councillor Renata Hamvas posted on a Facebook thread that she had raised the issue with the relevant council officers, and that the response she received is that the tree does have a fungal infection. So there seems to be conflicting info there, and I'm concerned that the tree is still in danger.
    • To be fair, do we know who put the notice on the wrong tree? The people wielding chainsaws almost certainly won't be the experts  who identify  the problems with the trees? They just go along and hack down what they're told to hack down? I might be wrong, but whilst actual tree surgery needs expertise, I wouldn't have thought hacking down a whole tree did? Apart from knowing how to use a chainsaw, obviously.
