I am looking for recommendations for someone to initially put together 2 items of Ikea smaller items of furniture (craft/worktop space plus a desk- sometime in February) also to later fix a large tv mounting to wall plus a tv, and also put together a leather reclining/massage chair with stool (Feb/March - TBA). I also would like put together a double colonial style wood bed base and headboard - sometime in February). I might also need other small DIY tasks undertaken in the future but spaced out - March onwards (convenient for both my wallet & your time!) Not all jobs mentioned maybe needed nor guaranteed wanted but just putting out feelers.

Also, I would like a small pane of glass fitted in/above a metal door-frame within a council flat (some glass shards remaining in-situ). It is approximately 29W x 24D and has been broken for 25+ years.  Can you give me a quote so I can figure out whether I can afford to get it done or just live with it?

NO self-recommendations please (unless you have recent, good, verifiable feedback on this forum or elsewhere) and I will check-out and scrutinise every person recommended as I am not rich but I do need/would like some things doing and will happily pay a fair price for good, decent, honest work. I cannot afford to get all done at once as I am an NHS healthcare assistant with a limited income and a budget I need to stick to but, once I find that "special someone" I would request their services again AND also, recommend to others.

I live on the SE23/SE26 border -  just down the hill from SE22 (SE23 3YW to be precise).

Thank you for reading.

Regards

Sue

Still looking for recommendations for a good, fair-priced and honest local handyman. Only responses I have had are PM's from people putting themselves forward but none are names I have seen before/often, mentioned in this forum so, I am wary. I find it disappointing that there is no-one who regularly uses this forum who can recommend a handyman?

I have a few jobs needing doing, over time and details are in the first post.

Thank you for reading.

Sue

      Decision 2 April - Proposed Development - The Sidings, Railway Rise, SE22

      By first mate · Posted

      @ ed pete "there still has to be the demand". I don't know but wondering if developers have been able to make a case based on the increase in demand from 2023-2024. The research I looked at said demand had risen by 500 in that period,  but was still below an all time high in 2022.   There will be others who know much more about this area who can give the rationale in favour; perhaps this latest govt. research is incorrect or only gives part of the story. My point is if, as seems likely, this development does little to solve the current housing crisis at local level for the non student population, I hope that the council is very, very sure that this level of student accommodation is warranted at this location. I have not managed to look at the plans in detail but how sustainable are the plans for the build; how will it be heated, what about impact on water and waste services?

      There is also I believe some evidence that students are choosing to go to universities, where they do, closer to home so as to avoid additional costs by living at home. Personally I think this is a mistake - being an undergraduate is a first chance for independence - but if economics and costs are making this so the demand for accommodation such as this will again be weakened.

      Good plumber - Ade

      A good plumber - Ade Okoosi. He came to do some plumbing for a new kitchen at a flat in Camberwell, sealed up a gas pipe and put in some taps and a thermostatic shower. On another occasion he rapidly removed a radiator. Would definitely use again.  Ade 07961981944

      Interesting the projected demand.  One imagines that you don't undertake this kind of investment without the business case to back it up.  There's one going up near a friends office in the City that is for 782 students.  OK, these are much closer to HE establishments but there still has to be the demand. https://dominusrealestate.co.uk/projects/65crutchedfriars/
