I used MW Flooring last summer for three carpets. I paid just £15.00 for an offcut for my small communal entrance hall and they sourced a carpet that I chose, having found it on the internet, that they did not stock. Dave who works at the shop was very helpful and the two guys who fitted the carpets...

I agree with Nigel. Just take them down. Acorn put a board up a while back outside my property, my neighbour's flat downstairs is let and they are the agent. The flat is a long lease and the current tenants have been in residence for about 7 years. I immediately took it down, I need some timber for ...

Couldn't agree with previous posters more. Always helpful, will order what you want if they don't have it, will delivery large items if necessary, and their prices are often lower than the large DIY stores.

As someone who posted about antisocial behaviour on Fairlawn Park some years ago I am happy to say that I have not been aware of any problems in recent years. It's a very nice street on which to bring up a young family. Where I live, at the top of the street, there are a good number of families with...

Thanks Bunty and Kate.

I have an issue with some water marks at the edges of some of my ceilings. I cannot tell whether it's being caused by problems with the guttering, pointing, lead flashing, a combination of these, or something else and need a roofer/builder to come take a look and diagnose the problem. If anybody has...

I too live on Fairlawn Park (at the top near the allotments) and have done so for 12 years. I was aware some years ago of antisocial behaviour by some younger residents of the street, but I must say I have not been aware of any issues in recent years, at least at the top end of the street. I wouldn'...

Lee,

Thanks.

Has anybody in Fairlawn Park had a dormer loft conversion, or a quote for a dormer loft conversion, recently? If so, what was the cost? I'm in the process of buying the freehold to my property and need to find out what value, if any, a one bedroom dormer loft conversion would add to the property. Fo...

Annie,

“Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.” ― Mark Twain

One of the first ideas for improving home park (with the consulation people chose the outdoor gym), was to have table tennis tables and large chequer board for people (kids and adults) to play chess or draughts. Lee, If you decide to go down the route of having a Giant Chess/Draught Set for Home Pa...

Tilly,

If you turn your taps on slightly, does the water the comes out do so in a pulsating fashion?

Anyone else noticed fluctuating water pressure recently on Fairlawn Park?

Or do I need to call a plumber?

According to Steve Grindlay in an earlier post on this forum, Kelvin Grove was given its name in the 1850s (and before 1858). http://forum.sydenham.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=779&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=20&sid=b11edcd64b7c2f0495ed34f566c51878 Perhaps the neighbouring road, Panmure...

Caught the 18.34 from London Bridge to Sydenham. Left on time and (I think) arrived on time. No more busy than usual.

Could try downloading the latest driver for the modem from the manufacturer's website

Out of interest what modem do you have?

I have been known to push the odd prawn every now and again. It may be of interest to some that the Crystal Palace Chess Club meets in Sydenham every Monday evening. Details here.
