I had a small electrical job that needed to be done, but I couldn’t be at the property to provide access. Collin went above and beyond by picking up the keys from the local letting agent and completing the work promptly. He charged a fair price, was reliable, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him or use his services again.

I needed someone to replace a faulty 4 gang dimmer switch. Colin is an excellent communicator, arrived exactly when he said he would and completed the job without any fuss. It’s so nice to find someone local who you can trust and who charges a fair rate. Thanks Colin. Much appreciated.

Colin arrived in 10 mins after I phoned CNC Electrical in what might be the fastest call out of all time! The power had gone out in part of our flat (kitchen and utility) so I decided to call CNC Electrical after researching and reading the positive reviews about the company online. It was a tricky job, as investigation work was required to locate the source of the problem as the fuseboard had not been tripped by the power cut. Colin discovered there was power going into a switch but none going out - so he replaced the switch. I found Colin friendly, and the work professional in terms of standard, safety and efficiency. I liked how Colin explained exactly what he was doing and was transparent at all times. Thank you!

Colin very kindly came out to see us the morning after I called to look at our power shower which blew up plus a couple of other little things. He was very friendly and helpful and didn’t charge us for his time. Will be calling on him again when we need work done! Thank you.

Contacted Colin regarding fuse box tripping and loss of electricity to kitchen appliances. Problem was identified in a timely manner. Colin also returned for a separate issue and did not charge for this. I appreciated Colin’s punctuality, professionalism and expertise. Will use his services again going forward.

Delighted this beautiful cafe has open in my neighbourhood. The owners were previously known in the area for making great coffee in their famous green van, and now they have excelled in this clean, bright and classy cafe with the most welcoming and friendly staff. We highly recommend the brunch items, eggs whichever way you want, sourdough toast, mushrooms, and also the inventively delicious pea fritters. Big fans of everyone and everything at Marchetti.

Love this place! Really delicious coffee and great pastries, the sandwiches are really yummy too (a tiny bit pricey for the area). They also have a beautiful garden at the back. The only downside of this place is that they are not open every day.

Fantastic service - courteous and incredibly knowledgeable. Not only did they arrive within 1 hour to central London but demonstrated their vast experience and found the fault straight away. Fixed things quickly, cleanly and calmly. Explained the process professionally throughout, and was lovely and friendly. Pricing clearly stated and honest. 10/10 would 100% recommend.

Satisfied customer. Lounge refurb. Lights, switches,sockets. Wiring, chasing in. Walls already very bad so patresses were sometimes less than completely horizontal. Morrocan sourced pendants needed reworking. Abdul did it all. Came back at short notice to fix one pendant and eventually sourced to a faulty bulb. Reasonably priced and went the extra.

Little hidden gem in south London. The only thing I wouldn’t recommend is the ginger baladin (it is very bitter and has not ginger, I’d suggest to specify it in the menu) apart from that it’s the lightest Italian food I’ve ever had. You can taste the quality of the ingredients. Very nice service.

Dined here a few days ago with a friend and had a bliss! The garden is beautiful and peaceful, the owners are really friendly and warm - just like you’d expect from a pizzeria in Italy! Service was fast and and everyone there made us feel welcome. I’d recommend!

"This small and cozy spot has something that sets it apart from other pizza places - its exceptional pizza🍕 ! I've had the pleasure of trying over 1,000 pizzas in my life, but this one stands out as truly special. The crust is perfectly cooked, and the seasoning is spot on. I opted for the meaty pizza with a spicy kick, and it was exactly what I was craving. I'm always proud of our pizzeria back home, but this one is truly 100% authentic Italian goodness!" 🇮🇹 We will be back !

Really lovely cozy local pizza place serving authentic wood fired pizza. Dough was perhaps not very memorable (no sourdough tang or chew - we are spoiled in London!) but was cooked expertly. The staff were really friendly and accommodating; we asked if we could have a 50-50 veg and meat platter and they obliged - it was delicious.

I'm obsessed with Nonna Maria's pizza! If you're craving a taste of Italy in London, you absolutely must try it. The quality of their pizzas is remarkably well-balanced, with every bite a perfect harmony of flavors. I'm thrilled to have this gem so close to my home. From now on, I'll be sticking to Nonna Maria's – it's the only pizza I'll need! See you soon!

Peter responded very quickly to my request for electrical help. He kindly did things I hadn't mentioned on my request while he was here. He was friendly, professional, and tidied up before he left. I would highly recommend Peter.

Peter did a great job reviewing and correcting faults with my electric installation that was done by a previous builder. He also installed some new sockets and changed a light fixture. He was happy to work around me while I was renovating a room, doing a first fix and coming back weeks later when I was ready. He even adjusted the cost to account for a little extra work I took on myself without prompting, very reasonable. He took the time to explain things and responded to any questions I had thoughtfully. He didn't respond with 'rules of thumb', but took care to work out the requirements and loading on the electric supply by all appliances. I felt assured by his work. Happy I found him and would recommend him.

I am really grateful for having been referred to Peter. He took the time to look at my complicated electrics and listened to what I wanted and did an excellent job of rewiring my room. He also helped me remove some extra skirting. His work was done to a very high standard. He was reasonable priced and neat I will definitely recommend him for electrical work.

“Interestingly Indian” is the perfect description for the experience of eating at Riwaz. There is so much love, care and attention that goes into the food and the service at Riwaz. A wonderful family run business, they have very quickly become our favourite food place in the area. We finally had this as a takeout this week and even as a takeout the food is incredible. Firm starter favourites for us are cashew crusted prawns and chicken biryani arancini balls. The prawns are beautifully cooked and spiced with an excellent crunchy crust. Like the arancini balls, lovely crisp outside with a superb flavour and texture inside. We are not vegetarians but our all time favourite dish here so far is the Riwaz Dal Makhani. Lentils that have been cooked for hours. I’ve never eaten lentils that tasty and the spicy, rich texture of the sauce has made this a staple of our dining experience. A surprising favourite for me was the butter chicken. It is not something that I would order normally. But trusting the advice of the owners, they always give great advice on the food and helped us make great choices. With such a variety of dishes, and all so different and delicious. I honestly will not be eating anywhere else for a while! We want to try as many more as we can! Extra compliments must go to the team there. For the design of the restaurant, to the love and attention paid to this excellent menu. It makes such a huge and wonderful difference to be THIS excited about what we are going to try next. This is always helped by the service, which is always so kind and helpful. We look forward to going each and every time and cannot wait to come back again. Thanks Riwaz Team!

Delicious food, came with my Dad for first time as we wanted a curry and this place was open and close by. Exceeded expectations, beautifully cooked and quality ingredients. Friendly staff. We were very early dining today, think prob more atmosphere later. I like how the delivery drivers don’t come in through restaurant and are politely asked to go to another door - these days it can be such a mood killer at other restaurants with door constantly opening and feeling more like a take away than a restaurant. We ordered Punjabi butter chicken curry, lamb shashlick, peshwari and garlic naan and muttar paneer. Plenty for two.

If you’re looking for the best Indian and Nepalese cuisine in town, this restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment we stepped in, we were welcomed warmly by the owner, a lovely lady who ensures every guest has a wonderful experience. The starters were a delightful mix of flavors and textures, highly recommend the cashew-crusted prawns, chicken and lamb momo, papdi chat, and chicken biryani arancini. Each dish was beautifully crafted and bursting with authentic taste. For the mains, the Kashmiri Rogan Josh, butter chicken, and lamb biryani stood out as some of the best we’ve ever had. Pair them with the garlic and Peshwari naan. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to make our visit special. We can’t wait to come back and try more of their incredible menu. This place is truly a must-visit!

I love Galao. I go there everyday, I’ve tried everything on the menu and it is consistently amazing. Coffee is sensational, the sandwiches are carefully prepared fresh for you and they are generous on portions. Açai bowl is beautiful and tasty. Emir, Ruby, Dienifer & Lauren are always smiling, they’ll have a conversation with you and bring a charismatic atmosphere to the coffee shop. Coffee will never be the same anywhere else. 10/10 :)

Don't think I can add more in the ways of superlatives beyond what I've seen in some other reviews for this place. All I can offer is my agreement with the reviews that say that this place has a fantastic atmosphere, the serving staff are brilliant and well the turkey ham and cheese croissant was the best I can remember having. Phenomenal place to visit. My thanks to Emir and the ladies for the hospitality. And I need another one of those hot chocolates. Superb!!!

The coffee, the food, the atmosphere but most importantly the staff are incredible. We’ve never felt more welcome in a coffee shop but it’s mostly because of our cute son Amari, who the staff show a lot of affection to and is very sweet to see. Emir, Ruby and Jen go out of their way to make you feel welcome with huge smiles and banter. Multiple options for seating, a great selection of drinks, lunch and pastries as well welcoming personal greetings every time we go means this is now my family’s go-to coffee shop in Forest Hill and has been for months. Highly recommended

It was a pleasure having Troy and team over at our new flat to fit electric radiators. They were very responsive, and made space in their schedule to fit the radiators earlier to save us from the very cold week. I will recommend Nyatec to everyone - they are professional, great on price and deliver to the best quality.

Pretty happy with the service. Diligent installed a new bathroom extractor fan and works perfectly. There's no more mould. I had to wait 3 weeks before writing this review to test it. I also had a problem with my oven which kept on switching off after 60 seconds. I asked 2 electricians beforehand and they kept telling me my oven is broken even though it was only 2 years old. Diligent replaced one of the boards on the electric box and explained the actual reason. The oven works perfectly fine now.
