Just wanted to recommend Finn Glendon (07903 633 199). He has done a wide range of jobs for me including painting various rooms in my house, repairing and painting the exterior woodwork of the house (including replacing rotten sashes and sills), filling inbetween wooden floorboards, regrouting the shower room floor tiles, filling in cracks in ceilings and walls and repainting, hanging pictures and putting up shelves. I also know that he also does insulation, tiling and sanding floorboards. He is friendly, reliable and reasonably priced. I have been very happy with the standard of his work and it is great to find someone who is prepared to take on smaller jobs (you know, the kind you are always intending to do yourself but never actually get round to). I should probably also mention that he is my brother but my husband is a real stickler for a job well done and we would not be allowed to employ him if he wasn't any good! Please feel free to pm me if you would like any more information.

  Avoid companies that are run by non trades people Seems to be the trend lately. Check them on Companies house first. There are some great family companies or sole traders. LMQ Roofing 07860 467708 [email protected] ANR Roofing 08009330439 Fist on my list is Liam McQueen https://www.lmqroofingservices.com/ Honest, reliable, constant updates, proper written quotes professional and lovely polite workers. Great work. Also though we did not use them in the end ANR Roofing based in Wimbledon offered some sound advice and quote. Also very lovely family run firm. And Crest Roofing based in EC1V 2NX came and gave a quote and seemed very lovely with some advice also. 07934 975769
- Avoid 'All About Roofing' Company - Dodgy rude roofers

  Had a terrible experience with this company recently. Their rooofers were abusive and really not nice. Simple job to remove an aerial which we knew would mostly cost in scaffold turned into a nightmare, They dug up old rotten boards in our front garden (there for beetles) and use under the scaffold. When we questioned the positioning of the scaffold (we needed it down the side and not on top of plants and garden) I received a torrent of offensive teenage sexist shouting. The main guy doing this was called Jimmy. They did eventually remove the aerial (no tools to do so I had to supply) They told us the side of the hip needed new timbers and re-roofing. We'd recently had it inspected and it looked good (I'm a carpenter by trade and went and looked at rafters inside - no issue. They seemed to take offense at my carpentry knowledge also. They pulled ridge tile off then told us it would be 3200 to repair!! Stood on a non load bearing lead canopy and more. Left cooked food and rubbish in garden, Just avoid them is my advice.One of an ever increasing number of firms owned not by trades people who subcontract and pay the scaffolders pennies. I'll do recommendations in another post!
- Lower Lordship Lane: footpath boozers forcing passersby into traffic

  I live locally and am on Lordship Lane and North Cross Road most days. I've never been forced into traffic, or noticed any problem in any of these places! I appreciate that might be different with a buggy or mobility aid. I like to see people enjoying themselves outside.
- Watch your pets - meat/fish left on Dawsons Hill - could be poisoned

  It's good that you've never personally had to experience poison being left but it is a known fact in this area. It's not fly tipping - people leave food out for foxes but there are also people who purposefully leave food out to kill animals.
