  • Got one thanks.
  • thanks for those two suggestions, maybe a builder is the way to go, but will check out rooftop Rooms as well.
  • They have been fixed. Just an odd thing to do.
  • yes cut on the outside of the house
  • Which refurbishment company did you use. I have found quite a few but in the end would prefer to have someone who has been recommended. The windows have rotted sections at the point where the two windows meet. Have filled these many times, but ne…
  • Its for Lancaster Road, so Haringey side.
  • Thanks for that, we have just a small job and thats always the difficult part in getting someone out.

  • Thanks for that.  We are getting a structural engineer in on Tuesday so lets hope they are more positive.
  • Thanks for the suggestion.  Did you have problems with insurance that this company overcame?We have had 4 refusals - as soon as you mention you have been refused - they also refuse. Its a catch 22 situation.
  • Our problem is that everyone we have gone to refuses to insure us.One of the questions they ask is" have you been refused insurance" and we would have to say yes.You were lucky, I will mention M&S  to the others
  • Thanks guys. As a someone who is totally disinterested in football I must say its annoying that visiting is such an ordeal, now I know why my friends dont bother with a car.
  • I would ask my friend but then she will know I am visiting (its a surprise).Thanks I will park outside Patso house and pop in for a cup of tea if she is out. :-)
  • totally agree with you Chang.  Was thinking of something enclosed like this so it couldnt be seen by anyone
  • Just one more questions - would dearly love to put small unobtrusive deck over our second bedroom (at the moment it has a sloped roof.  I gather terraces generally get a tumb down - whats your experience?
  • Thanks for your comments. I have to say I would actually be in total agreement with wooden windows and keeping everything to scale and in tune with the period details of the house. Never see the point of moving into a Victorian house then ripping ou…
  • Thanks for that, I suppose deep down I knew I would never go with PVC just wanted like minded people to persuade me to go for wood!!  Will try both contacts. 
  • Mmmm any chance of a cake recipe page for tried and tested favourites?
  • I wonder if half term has anything to do with it? I notice bikes at the station often get stolen during school holidays, is this a coincidence?

  • I have to agree that £500 is very optimistic. The price you pay is reflected in the quality of the accomodation. We have just let out a spare room through Gumtree. I must say we chose the person through her advert rather than advertised it oursel…
  • I hate those visitor passes, gave a couple to a builder working on my daughters flat and he accidentally put the wrong year (all other details correct) The council fined him. Why I asked - because they said he could use those vouchers again next y…
  • thanks for that will give him a ring!
  • thanks for that - I knew there had to be thread there somewhere !

  • thanks for that will give him a ring!
  • I must say your comment reflect my thoughts entirely. I sent a few letters complaining and phoned Haringey council. I must have spent over half an hour on the phone pointing out the absurdity of someone keeping vouchers for a year so as to use the…
  • Thank you both - Dorothy left the vouchers and I left the chocolate - hope you go it! The parking restrictions have both good and bad points. A friend who did some plastering for us got a ticket despite having a voucher in his car because he acci…
  • My daugher goes to http://www.urbanpath.com/london/hairdressing-salons/taylor-taylor-spitalfields.htm and has John Paul cut her hair. I dont think its that local but she always comes back looking lovely and is extremely pleased with the result. I …
