Re: Ideas for first time buyers leaving Nappy Valley?

We were renting in Fulham and Earlsfield, then made the move to Tooting and bought a fixer upper there and haven't looked back! Furzedown is lovely (a real community feel like Seb says), but it's very quiet (which of course suits some people more) and the transport links aren't great which ruled it ...

Re: Pebble Dash and Paint Removal Advice

Hi,

I just thought I'd bump this post to see if any NVN users have any recommendations of companies they have used in the area to remove paint/pebble dashing? Also roughly how much it should cost?

Many Thanks

Re: Loft Conversion - APT Renovation, Simply Extensions, Doran Bros

We have seen a number of builders (a few from recommendations on NVN) and are still waiting for some of the quotes to come back. We have received a few already and are really shocked at how different some of the figures have been for the same brief. We are looking at doing a double loft conversion w...

Re: Sash window restoration

Hi Aliceg1982,

I was just wondering if you ended up using Artisan Carpenters to do your windows and if so would you recommend them? We are currently looking at replacing/restoring our windows and are looking for some good recommendations in the area.

Many Thanks

Re: Loft Conversion - APT Renovation, Simply Extensions, Doran Bros

Hi lizbiz100,

I've just seen your post and was wondering if you had received any feedback on Doran Bros as yet? I am also considering using them for a loft/side return, however looking back at previous posts on here and other sites they seem to get 'mixed' feedback.

Re: Quest for really natural highlights

Hi, I always use a lady called Charlotte John. She's an AMAZING freelance hairdresser based in Tooting who can either come to you, or if clients prefer a 'salon experience', will also operate out of a lovely independent salon in Teddington.

Hi All, In addition to the above builders (John Sandars and Falcon Builders), does anyone have any recent feedback on Clapham Builders (owner Richard)?
