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.

    • Hi if anyone has one pm me cheers 
    • You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.
    • I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?
    • Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
