Gary recently completed an external job on my property, which included fixing my roof, painting windows, front path and all masonry walls. From the start, Gary was clear and communicative and provided a competitive quote very quickly (which was stuck to). The chaps that did the work were clean, polite and experienced. The job has been finished to a very high quality, with great attention to detail. I certainly recommend him. Gary's number is 07572588222

Adding another recommendation for Gary and his team. This is the second time we've used First Choice Decorating, and they did a good job at very short notice for us. They were here to redecorate a couple of rooms in the house, and then whilst the team were working on that our toilet cistern sprung a leak! Gary was able to fit in the necessary repairs for this around his existing jobs, which was very much appreciated to ensure we weren't left without a working toilet for too long!

We're happy with the work they did, and grateful for the quick turnaround. I'd definitely recommend contacting Gary for anything you need doing.

I recommend Gary and his team (Tony, Jason), who recently completed a whole refurb of our bathroom and delivered excellent work. There were a number of unexpected challenges throughout the job as it was a very old bathroom in a Victorian property, and Gary was able to provide expert recommendations and guidance throughout.

Gary was also able to get in contact with expert tilers, plumbers, and electricians who could support on different aspects of the job - the tiling in particular was outstanding.

Gary and one of his team (Tony) recently completed an en-suite bathroom refurb for me. There were a few unforeseen issues due to the underlying previous/original shoddy workmanship but which Gary found solutions for. So the job took a bit longer than anticipated but we got there in the end!  We are pleased with the standard of the work and would recommend.

I would like to add to the recommendations for Gary and his team. They were able to sort out a few minor issues (that other companies said they were too busy for and would only have capacity at some point in early 2025) within a short space of time. Gary kindly liaised directly with my tenants which is such a bonus as a landlord. The work was finished to a high standard and there was plenty of communication throughout.

 

Thanks Gary and team! Sarah

I would recommend Gary, who recently re-did our downstairs toilet to a very high standard with his team, especially Tony, putting in a new vanity unit, toilet, extractor fan and new tiling. The job was slightly trickier than planned because the previous builders had cut corners plumbing in the old toilet, which Gary put right at very little extra cost, enabling us to move the new toilet further back, and creating more space in a very small room. The other builders we contacted were either vastly more expensive, or just didn't reply - probably because it wasn't a big enough job. Contact on 07572 588222

Another vote for Gary and his team.  Gary has just completed decorating a bedroom and painting a new understairs cupboard that I had fitted.  The work was completed to a high standard with loads of preparation work, my ancient skirting boards look like new!  I am very happy with the work and he will be back in the new year to do some work in my bathroom.  Highly recommend.

Gary and his team have just completed the restoration of our front facade, along with extensive repairs to our roof on our three storey victorian house. They have done an incredible job. The quality, care and expertise they have brought to this project has been excellent. Plus they have been a lovely team of people to work with, keeping us fully updated on progress and costs. My only issue is that we didn't meet them sooner!  We will definitely be working with them again and look forward to future projects. I cant recommend Gary and his team enough! Thankyou First Choice and thank you East Dulwich Forum.

    • I am sure what the new plan is but who knows how the postal service will work from here onwards 
    • My experience is that my local letter box does have week-day-ly collections - but I think very early in the morning, not at the old 'around 5.00pm' times. There are several daily collections from the box outside the Forest Hill Road sub-post office. I don't think the 'Monday' tab is now ever changed. Mail collections from boxes have got nothing to do with the service we (don't) get from the Peckham Delivery Office. Your Wednesday 12th posting would probably only have been collected on Thursday 13th, if it was posted after 9.00am. If it was being delivered in East Dulwich (where the Peckham DO does come into play) then getting it by the following Tuesday is probably par for the course.
    • Are there no daily collections from post boxes any more? On Wednesday Feb 12 I posted a Valentine's Card in the postbox which is about 20 metres from our house to make sure it arrived by Feb 14 (yes I know I could've put it thru letterbox but that's not as romantic is it). After I posted it I noticed the little metal thingy said "Monday" but I thought this must be a mistake and had not been changed. However, Valentine's Day came and went and no card arrived. In fact it arrived on the following Tuesday, Feb 18 so I'm guessing the Monday collection metal thingy was correct. Has it ever been announced officially that there are no longer daily collections from letterboxes? I remember a time, not even that long ago, when the red postman pat van would pull up at least twice a day, every weekday.    
    • My lovely tuxedo cat, Rexy, has been missing since Wednesday which is very out of character. Rodwell Road area, SE22. He is a rescue cat so really quite timid with people he doesn’t know. If you spot him, could you please contact me? Many thanks. He is chipped and neutered.  Photos attached.
