Re: fantastic new fishmongers in Balham - let's support it

I second the recommendation for Volker and Quinn!
Got some lovely hake on Saturday for fish burgers and it was amazingly fresh.
I love Moxon's too, but they are only open Tue-Sat and as a local of Balham, it's great to have a good fish supplier locally.

Re: Loft conversions/side returns

We're also planning to do both the loft and the side return in a couple of years time, as we've just moved in.
Are these quotes for 1 bedroom and a bathroom or 2 bedrooms and a bathroom in the loft?
Thanks
SG
