I would add my recommendation for Marven and Sky High . Smallish job of repairing external window seals and painting but undertaken effeciently and reasonably and both he and his painter Dave were a pleasure to deal with. I would definitely use again

Skyhigh builders have not long finished a side return extension and refurbishment in our house, we are delighted with the results and Marven and his team worked efficiently and promptly, and regularly informed us of the progress from start to finish,

Highly Recommended !

We are grateful to sky high builders for the exceptional service for the refurbishment of our kitchen and replacement floor.  We appreciated the quality of tradesman ship. We are so happy with our finishing of the kitchen which adds value to our home. 
Best wishes

Great job from Marvin and team. Communication was excellent throughout, work was finished to a high standard and the inevitable hiccups were dealt with without charging for extras.

Work was removing roof, raising ceiling, installing sky light and new roof, replastering, painting and new floor.

Marvin sorted a building surveyor at short notice in preference of dealing with the council and their time delays, but did not warn us of the increased cost of this in advance. In fairness to him, he took this difference off the price of our quote without complaint. A couple of other issues arose and were handled quickly (leaking tarpaulin in a storm over the weekend, lost door keys and replaced locks for us).

Everyone who worked at our house without exception was excellent, cared about their work and got on with the job. Special shout outs to Jon and Klay! His quote was expensive vs others but the work was excellent and most importantly he was exceptionally communicative throughout, whether about good news or bad. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

We couldn’t rate Sky High Builders more highly! Marvin and team did our loft conversion and full renovation of our property on Ulverscroft Road. The quality of the build is of a really high standard and we are so pleased with the outcome.

Marvin was a first class project manager throughout the entire development, and ran the project bespoke to our requirements. We were living out of the city during the development and he therefore provided daily updates on the project. This gave us great confidence in Marvin and his team.

They have consistently went out of their way to help us as and when we have required it. With any project there will be a snagging list when the development practically competes and Marvin’ was incredibly comprehensive with his. We have also always been made to feel that we can contact Marvin as and when something pops up and we couldn’t rate his customer service more highly.

We also have friends in the area who have used Sky High and have had really positive experiences.

I would recommend Sky High Builders in the strongest way. Marvin and his team are efficient, professional and expert in the work that they do.
 
I needed work done in my flat to remove and reinstall my full kitchen including all gas, plumbing and electrics in a tight timescale (before and after a damp proofing course). The team did exactly what was asked of them with no delays and left the kitchen looking incredible.
 
I have tenants in my flat and I cannot say how much Marvin and his team took the stress out of it all.

I’d highly recommend Marvin for any project. The whole team did a brilliant job on my extension and dealt very capably with any issues that came up. He takes a huge amount of pride in his work and it really shows in the end product. 

I’ve recommended him to a number of friends in the area who’ve also been very satisfied with his work. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him on another project in the future.

Sky High Builders were amazing from start to finish!!! They did a fantastic job on my loft conversion. Honestly, they transformed the space into something way beyond what I imagined. The whole process was smooth, and their attention to detail was spot on. If you're ever thinking about converting your loft or doing any home renovations, I can’t recommend them enough. Totally worth it!! Marvin and his team are just the best!

Marvin and the Sky High Builders team recently completed a full restoration and renovation for me in Herne Hill. I could not be happier with the outcome. Work was done was to an extremely high standard and exceeded expectations. Marvin was a pleasure to work with throughout; he provided valuable advice on key structural decisions and was fantastic helping finding trusted partners for specialist needs. I could not recommend Marvin and the team more highly. They really are outstanding at what they do.

    • Does anyone know when the next SNT meeting is? I am fed up with my son being mugged on East Dulwich Grove! 
    • The issue must be everywhere at the moment. I was visiting a friend last week in Bermondsey, think we were walking  down Linton Rd & we dodged 7 dog poos. It was disgusting. 
    • Thanks for your message — I actually took the time to look into what CityHive does before posting my original comment, and I’d encourage anyone with questions to do the same. Yes, the Companies House filings are overdue — but from what I’ve gathered, this seems likely to be an accountant or admin issue, not some sign of ill intent. A lot of small, community-based organisations face challenges keeping up with formalities, especially when they’re focused on immediate needs like food distribution. Let’s not forget CityHive is a not-for-profit, volunteer-powered CIC — not a corporate machine. As for the directors, people stepping down or being replaced is often about capacity or commitment — which is completely normal in the voluntary and community sector. New directors are sometimes appointed when others can no longer give the time. It doesn’t automatically mean bad governance — it just means people’s circumstances change. CityHive’s actual work speaks volumes. They buy most of the food they distribute — fresh produce, essential groceries, and shelf-stable items — and then deliver it to food banks, soup kitchens, and community projects across London. The food doesn’t stay with CityHive — it goes out to local food hubs, and from there, directly to people who need it most. And while yes, there may be a few paid staff handling logistics or admin, there’s a huge volunteer effort behind the scenes that often goes unseen. Regular people giving their time to drive vans, sort donations, load pallets, pack food parcels — that’s what keeps things running. And when people don’t volunteer? Those same tasks still need to be done — which means they have to be paid for. Otherwise, the whole thing grinds to a halt. As the need grows, organisations like CityHive will inevitably need more support — both in people and funding. But the bigger issue here isn’t one small CIC trying to make ends meet. The real issue is the society we live in — and a government that isn’t playing its part in eradicating poverty. If it were, organisations like CityHive, The Felix Project, City Harvest, FareShare, and the Trussell Trust wouldn’t need to exist, let alone be thriving. They thrive because the need is growing. That’s not a reflection on them — it’s a reflection on a broken system that allows people to go hungry in one of the richest cities in the world. If you're in doubt about what they’re doing, go check their Instagram: @cityhivemedia. You’ll see the real organisations and people receiving food, sharing thanks, and showing how far the impact reaches. Even Southwark Foodbank has received food from CityHive — that alone should speak volumes. So again — how does any of this harm you personally? Why spend time trying to discredit a group trying to support those who are falling through the cracks? We need more people lifting others up — not adding weight to those already carrying the load.
    • Well, this is very disappointing. Malabar Feast  has changed its menu again. The delicious fish curry with sea bass no longer exists. There is now a fish dish with raw mango, which doesn't appeal. I had dal and spinach instead, which was bland (which I suppose I could/should have predicted). One of my visitors had a "vegetable Biriani" which contained hardly any vegetables. Along with it came two extremely tiny pieces of poppadom in a large paper bag.   This was embarrassing, as I had been singing Malabar's praises and recommending we ordered from there. The other mains and the parathas were OK, but I doubt we will be ordering from there again. My granddaughters wisely opted for Yard Sale pizzas, which were fine. Has anybody else had a similar recent poor (or indeed good!)  experience at Malabar Feast?
